When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

It's all in the journey and it's an imperfect world. Do your best to make sense. Think critically. Decide if it's fact or belief. Respond don't react. And, whether it's the road less traveled or the main drag, chances are good someone along the way has made an observation that might help you. Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from the stumbling, imperfect experiences of those who have traveled before - or are traveling with - us?

Charlotte Bronte on Authenticity
If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba on Awareness
Before you speak, think - Is it necessary? Is it true? Is it kind? Will it hurt anyone? Will it improve on the silence?

Peaceful Daily on Consciousness
Two Wolves.
One evening, an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
