“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove, but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.”

Open your heart - open it wide; someone is standing outside and that person is JESUS.

“Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on; 'Twas not given for thee alone, Pass it on; Let it travel down the years, Let it wipe another's tears, 'Til in Heaven the deed appears - Pass it on. ”

When asked the question, what is consciousness? we become conscious of consciousness.
And it is this consciousness of consciousness that we take to be consciousness.
This is wrong.

The values we live by are worth more when we pass them on,pass it on

~1~ Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it
~2~ Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.
If you're alive, it isn't.

Zeal without knowledge is fire without light, zeal without prudence is frenzy.

“Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.”

“Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.”

People catch our spirit just like they catch our colds-by getting close to us.

I have these to say about Contentment;

" The secret to contentment does not lie in adding to a man's possessions, but rather in taking away from his desires"

" Contentment makes poor men rich, discontentment makes rich men poor"

" Money is a universal passport to everywhere except heaven and to everything except joy"

Are you a chronic procrastinator and always finding it difficult to initiate an action? Please listen to these;

"Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome"

"He who deliberates fully before taking a step will spent his entire life on one leg"

"These are procrastinators at their best; they did nothing in particular and did it very well"

this is a wonderful thread, heres my first post:
[b][/b] A man'S LIFE is only as good as the QUALITY of his THOUGHTS.

These will help your attitudes and also help you understand the attitudes of others;

"The greatest generational discovery in life is that human beings can alter his life by altering his attitudes"

"Attitudes are internal feelings or assumptions that express themselves in our outward responses and behaviours"

"Your outward responses often communicate what you are thinking inside"

"Your attitude towards something makes all the difference in how you see it and respond to it"

“We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.”

“The love of our neighbor in all its fullness simply means being able to say, "What are you going through?"”

Greatness is not a state, a title or a position you occupy but it is a process.

Greatness is the way you live your life. Long before David became king in Israel, while he was still a shepherd boy in the bush, he was described as “…a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him”

“The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt.”

“If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life, it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth.”

We cannot tailor make the situations of our life,but we can
tailor make the attitudes to fit them before they arrive

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity, It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

“Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.”

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

[size=15pt]Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.[/size]

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.”

“Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.”
