The highest form of intelligence is the ability to observe without evaluating -J Krishnamurti

THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY:

Why do people point to their wrist when they ask you for the time, yet they don’t point to their pants when they ask where the restroom is??

Someone telling you that they don't mean "ALL" of the great things they say to you makes you feel stupid..them laughing in your face when you express that you feel hurt & inadequate about it is down right embarrassing.. –ChyVaughn

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination. -H. Jackson Brown Jr.

WORD OF THE DAY....

IMAGINE: Today imagine the difference. Focus on the breakthrough. Start seeing yourself in the tranquility that you aspire. Imagine not having the fear to make wanted or needed changes in your life. Imagine that all you need is provided. Imagine living a life that feeds your heart & nourishes your soul. Imagine the people, places, things, or spaces that are an applicable & flourishing part of your existence. Imagine independence. Whether it is financial or personal, perceive it in the now. 

Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires but according to our powers -H.-Frederic Amiel

WORD OF THE DAY....

TREASURE: Today recognize what you should put the most value on. Do you treasure your time? If so, try not to waste any. If you treasure the sunshine take time to enjoy being outside. Moments & people can not be replicated so treasure them vehemently.  Treasure your parent, partner, professor, student, pet, counselor, doorman, meal, & all that’s in between. Treasure the glow you remit from being happy & healthy. Set a goal to recognize everyday this week one thing you treasure & most of all like no other TREASURE YOURSELF!!

I would never question whether or not you would die for me….What I do question however is if you are willing to live for me -ChyVaughn

WORD OF THE DAY....

BREAK: Today find the energy to make a clean break. Strive to break old patterns & habits that are unproductive. Recognize what you say & will break later & don’t make that vow or promise. Break your cycle of silent shame, abuse, deception, neglect, or violence. Sometimes even deep relationships need broken if you are made of the fact that it will not work. Be sure to recognize harmful breaks. Do not break from positive people or influences. Your heart may break & you may breakdown. Be assertive & continue “Your Process” whether it is short or long, at the end it will be “Your Breakthrough”.

WORD OF THE DAY....

LEAP: I dare you to JUMP!!!! Go ahead close your eyes and JUMP!!!! Today challenge yourself..Do you know whether you’ll fly or not?? Let go of the concept of failure and stretch beyond your limit. Creating a safety net is fine. However, don’t let it hinder you into believing things aren’t possible. Take a leap of confidence. 

I believe in the necessity for struggle by people at the bottom of any society -F.F. Piven

WORD OF THE DAY....

EXPLORE: Take the time explore places you’ve never explored before. Take a trip to a hidden cave, a new trail, or neighborhood. Explore friendships with people not in your immediate circle. Seize the moment to survey opinions and possibilities. What works for you?? What does not?? Always remember that the need to discover should never end. 

It is the duty of men to judge men only by their actions. Our faculties furnish us with no means of arriving at the motive, the character, the secret self. We call the tree good from its fruits, and the man, from his works. (sermon, October 15, 1826) 

  -R.W. Emerson 

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever -- this is a somewhat new kind of religion -Albert Einstein

    but it takes character and self control to be 
    understanding and forgiving -D. Carnegie

     There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success -G. Matthew Adams
