Quote for today--When you harbor resentment, anger or bitterness, the person you end up harming the most is yourself. Negative emotions have a way of creating negative energy that destroys positive emotions, like generosity, love and joy. Although the unhappy situation may be long gone, you may be allowing it to hold you back by holding onto the feelings it evoked. Today, vow to start "cleaning out" that inner vault of negativism. Try to forgive those who've caused you previous pain, and if you can't forgive, at least try to forget. Break free ! Let go! Move forward with optimism. It's the best way to find happiness. Love and Light

Quote for today--One of the most treasured gifts each of us have, the ability to give ourselves without expecting something in return.

Your soul becomes filled with a sense of calmness and the burdens of the world seem weightless. This all comes with these simple principles of giving. Love and Light

Quote for today--Love is difficult to define yet easy to recognize. The more of it you give away, the more of it you have. The less you demand of love, the more it will bring to you. The fewer conditions you place on love, the more perfectly it will suit you, and the more meaningful it will become. Love can make a powerful, positive difference whenever it is present. And love can work its magic in every corner of your life. Give love to another and you forge a connection that empowers you both. Love the world around you and it will become more beautiful as a result. Love what you do and you become considerably more effective. Add love to knowledge and you'll have wisdom. Love life itself and you'll always find ways to give real meaning Love and Light

Quote for today--We all fear at some time or another, it cannot be denied. Fear is a natural emotion in the face of possible danger, whether it's the risk from actions that could threaten our lives, or from new experiences that could threaten our happiness. A courageous person acknowledges the fear they feel and are determined not to let it stand in their way. Become that person. Accept that risk the price you pay for the chance of new opportunities and new beginnings. When you acknowledge your fear and push past it, you'll reach all your goals. Love and Light

Quote for today--There is no silver platter or silver spoon with your name on it. In other words, if you're sitting around waiting for the dues you expect from life, you may be waiting forever and end up with nothing but disappointment and regret. Instead, be grateful for the fact that your life is what you make it. Relish and rejoice in the power you hold in your own two hands. You are the one that can go out and make things happen. So why not dare to seize new opportunities and enjoy the satisfaction they bring? You alone hold the pen that will write your life story. Start a brilliant new chapter, Today! Love and Light

Quote for today--The real value of any achievement depends on the challenges that must be overcome to reach that achievement. To shortcut the process, even if it was possible, would leave you feeling empty and cheated. What a blessing it is that achievement requires effort, and that significant achievement requires significant, dedicated effort. The necessity of making it happen is what brings the possibility of making it great, and valuable, and truly magnificent. Love and Light

Quote for today--A smile not only crosses geographic boundaries, it also crosses the boundaries of culture, background, age and beliefs. What's more, it works the same magic in them all! A warm smile can make a child feel better, as surely as it can cheer up an old man. It can soften hearts and firm up commitments, It ca mend friendships and break tensions. It can reassure and give support. It can say I love you and congratulations. It can make deals. It can make friendships. It can make memories or even make your day. But perhaps, most important of all, a smile can make the world a better place for the person who gives it - you! Love and Light

Quote for the week--Are you aware of the abundant possibilities your life holds for you? Most likely you are and you truly want to take advantage of the possibilities, but something is holding you back. When opportunities arise, it's common for us to decide not to rock the boat and hold on to stability and security. Stability and security are like prison. They keep you where you are, Decide right now that you will take intelligent and calculated risks that push you beyond your comfort zone, where until now you have refused to go. Open your arms to new experiences and dare to find out what is truly possible for you. Love and Light

Quote for today--We have hundreds of ways to express our feelings, through words and gestures both large and small. All too often, however, we keep our feelings to ourselves assuming that those we care for know how much they mean to us. The truth is they often don't. The next chance you get, tell that special someone how much joy they bring into your life. Let them know how special they are to you. Make sure you give a hug and get a hug. This will deepen your appreciation for one another and brighten your relationship. LOve and Light

It's about perceiving and chuckling at the absurdities of everyday life. These absurdities can range from everyday hassles to real heartaches and hard times. Within each experience, there's something to laugh about. Next time you find yourself getting uptight, relax for a minute and look for this lighter side. There is always humor embedded in life experiences. When you recognize it, it becomes so much easier to put life's difficult times in perspective. LOve and Light

Quote for today--Be grateful for the fact that you are in charge of your own destiny - no one else is. Celebrate each success you achieve and pause to enjoy each moment of good fortune.

Quote for today--If in one hour you were to spread kindness to just three people, and each of them did the same, and the process continued to repeat itself, the results would be astounding.

And the positive benefits will go farther than you can possibly imagine. Love and Light

Quote for today--Even when there appears to be no hope, someone will have the audacity to be hopeful anyway. And more times than not, that person will be right. The greatest opportunities for positive change very often arise from the most difficult situations. The most enduring strengths are always forged against the most stubborn challenges. There are those who give up at the first hint of trouble, and then there are those who never give up no matter what. Those who never give up are the ones who, thankfully, always get us through.
