Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what's urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.



Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time,' is like saying, 'I don't want to.

Forget concepts and philosophies. Forget methods and disciplines. Simply be yourself. Live, love, that is enough.

When I'm having trouble with someone, it's a sure sign that person is exactly the gift I am needing in my life. Sometimes it takes me years to write the thank you note, though.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 1:03pm On Aug 27, 2007
let me share this article with you.


Does it seem like your life consists of just "going with the
tide" - and that you have no particular destination? Do you
sometimes look at your life and ask, "Is this all there
is?"

Does the pursuit of material things sometimes seem
meaningless to you? Do you often feel as though life is
passing you by?

Is your time consumed by things that need to be done, rather
than things that are important to you? Do people put demands
and responsibilities on you that are opposed to what you
want for your life?

Have you been trying to live up to everyone else's
expectations while your own plans and dreams go
unfulfilled?

If you answered "Yes" to any or all of the above questions,
you're not alone. It's so easy for any of us to get "caught
up" in life that we forget how to truly live. There's more
wisdom than meets the eye in John Lennon's famous saying:
"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

Frankly, life is too short for us to waste most of it on the
acquisition of material things, in trying to impress people
we care little about, and on things that will have little or
no value to us when we look back on our lives during our
golden years.

In keeping with the theme of this newsletter, I'm here to
show you how to discover - and accomplish - your life's
purpose through the use of affirmations. Your life's purpose
may be defined as your personal mission, or your spiritual
path, or the cause for which you live, or how you plan to
make a difference, or what you want to leave behind after
you're gone - or anything that's truly important to you.

Here are affirmations that will help you not only discover
your life purpose, but also help get you deeply connected to
your spiritual self:

* Each day my life is filled with wonders and magic.
* I feel my divine connection to everyone and everything.
* The light of God is guiding me in everything I do.
* Every step I take leads me toward my Life Purpose.
* I now surrender to the will of God
* Divine guidance is with me always
* I now let miracles happen
* Divine wisdom unfolds within me now.
* I am now filled with the light and love of God.
* Everything I seek is seeking me now.
* I now call on the light of God to guide me.
* I am totally one with God.
* I choose to experience things that will reveal my true
Life Purpose.
* I am now acting upon my Life Purpose with joy and
passion.
* I now accept that my Life Purpose is to love myself
others.
* I am now free to do the things I love.
* I choose to do the things I love.
* I am fulfilled as a person.
* I am now clear on my goals and I have the strength to
follow through on them.
* I am in a constant state of fulfillment.
* I am certain that my path is always perfect for me.

Choose the affirmations that feel appropriate to you. Feel
free to create an affirmation that's suitable to you by
asking yourself these questions:

What do you want? And how will you know when you get it?

Those questions will put you on the right track to crafting
life purpose affirmations that strike an emotional chord in
you, or at least enable you to substitute words in any of
the above affirmations with words that have special meaning
to you.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 1:31pm On Aug 28, 2007
Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.



The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever
your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work.



What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 1:33pm On Aug 28, 2007
Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.




Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.




The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to
stop me.

"Always remember to be a General that regenerates the unregenerate generation"
Re: Quotes Of The Day by steroid: 11:38pm On Aug 28, 2007
If I were forced to condense my ideas on morality into a single sentence: 'Live consciously, take responsibility for your choices and actions, respect the rights of others and follow your own bliss.


You can only live once- but if you work it right, once is enough.


Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginnig, a struggle and a victory.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by steroid: 11:51pm On Aug 28, 2007
The spirit, the will to win and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.



Only a brave person is willing to honestly admit and fearlessly to face, what a sincere and logical mind discovers.



In this age, which believes that there is a shortcut to everything, thegreatest lesson to be learnt is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 10:06am On Aug 29, 2007
Focus your messages on the results you expect, not on the methods for doing the job.



A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it;
action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving.



Your purpose explains what you are doing with your life. Your vision explains how you are living your purpose. Your goals enable you to realize your vision.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 10:10am On Aug 29, 2007
People create their own questions because they are afraid to
look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the
road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk.




Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.




You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 1:53pm On Aug 31, 2007
Belief in yourself, belief in your abilities, will override fear almost every time. The only thing we are afraid of is what we are capable of accomplishing.



Every man dies. Not every man lives. The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the "buts" you use today.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 2:00pm On Aug 31, 2007
"The Hidden Superpowers Of Your Mind"

The mind is an infinite wonder. It has the fantastic ability to
transmute your desires into their physical counterparts. You can
do anything that your mind can conceive, as long as you have the
belief and will power to back it up.

Take the case of cancer patients who were given placebo pills.
These are just plain pills that have no healing capabilities.
So how did they get well?

The power came from their thoughts. They were told that these
pills contain the highest amounts of cancer-fighting ingredients
which can effectively cure them in a matter of days.

See how powerful your mind is?

They believed that their health will be restored. They have
registered in their minds that these pills will cure them of
their illnesses. In the process, the belief embedded within
their subconscious came to reality.

So how can you use your mind to achieve your dreams? One of the
most effective ways is to use the "as if" principle.

Act as if you are the person you want to be. Act as if you are
already in possession of whatever you long to have.

So what do you want to be? You want to be a lawyer, doctor,
athlete, or newscaster? Think, act, and feel like one. You'll
be much closer to your goal if you're constantly intact with
your objective. Be obsessed with your dream. It doesn't mean
that if you want to be Superman you'll fly out the window. Not
a good idea!

It's not enough that you act like one, but you have to actually
ACT. Do what needs to be done. You might get so lost in your
fantasy dream world that you've forgotten to take some action.
Let your visions encourage and motivate you to actualize your
purpose.

The problem with the people of the modern world is that they
are too preoccupied with worries, anxieties, and negative
emotions. As a result, they are adversely affecting their
state of health.

White lies have become prevalent nowadays in order to ease the
burdens or to persuade others to do things that they thought
are unattainable.

There was once a weightlifter who couldn't lift weights in excess
of 300 lbs. So his coach devised a clever idea and told him that
the barbell he has to carry weighs only 300 lbs. With all his
might, the weightlifter managed to put it above his head. After
he puts it down, the coach told him that he has just lifted 350
lbs. of weight! It's all in the mind!

A famous person once said, "Whenever you think you can or you
can't, you're right."

If you think you are poor, then you are; unless you properly
condition your thoughts to the positive mindset. I know it's
hard to think rich if your environment is not conducive to
such way of thinking. Use your imagination then! Visualize
your house to be a mansion, your old car to be a limousine,,
Well you get the picture.

There is absolutely no limit with what the mind can achieve. But
you have to combine belief, will power, and action with positive
thinking in order to arrive at your intended destination.

"Did you ever see an unhappy horse? Did you ever see bird that had the 0blues? One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses"
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 2:45pm On Sep 04, 2007
Nurture great thoughts, for you will never go higher than your thoughts.



Success demands singleness of purpose.



If you're proactive, you don't have to wait for circumstances or other people to create perspective expanding experiences. You can consciously create your own.

Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 3:31pm On Sep 08, 2007
Change before you have to.


It's takin' whatever comes your way, the good AND the bad, that give life flavor. It's all the stuff rolled together that makes life worth livin'.


Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard
effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve
any goal that is worthwhile.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 1:07pm On Sep 10, 2007
The greatest pollution problem we face today is negativity. Eliminate the negative attitude and believe you can do anything. Replace 'if I can, I hope, maybe' with 'I can, I will, I must.


It's takin' whatever comes your way, the good AND the bad, that give life flavor. It's all the stuff rolled together that makes life worth livin'.


The difference between a successful person and others is not a
lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of
will.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 12:23pm On Sep 11, 2007
You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.


Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and
effect.


If you expect the best, you will be the best. Learn to use one of the most powerful laws in this world; change your mental habits to belief instead of disbelief. Learn to expect, not to doubt. In so doing, you bring everything into the realm of possibility.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 1:06pm On Sep 12, 2007
No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.



Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great
was ever achieved.


We always attract into our lives whatever we think about most, believe most strongly, expect on the deepest level, and imagine most vividly.
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 1:54pm On Sep 12, 2007
Great is the power of habit. It teaches us to bear fatigue and
to despise wounds and pain.


The greatest things on earth have been done little by little.


We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to
neglect the needful duties of active life; for *it is only
action* that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
