...RAINBOW'S END

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 09:45 EST

Somewhere there's a rainbow's end

Just beyond your dreams,

Across the bridge of make-believe

Where the bright sun beams.

Here the days are fair and bright

In this magic land,

And the mem'ries of the past

Reach out to clasp your hand.

In this sweet enchanted land

Skies are always blue,

And there's magic in each dream

For they all come true.

Is there really such a land

From which all cares depart?

It exists as long as you

Keep dreaming in your heart.

.........LEARNING

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 10:46 EST

I have learned laughter from plunging

And leaping young mountain streams;

Friendship and courage from oak trees,

Beauty and magic and dreams.

I have learned love from the whisper

Of winds through the summer hours.

I have learned hope from refreshing

And friendly midafternoon showers.

I have learned grace from the rivers,

Poise from the cliffs and peaks.

I have learned always to listen

For wisdom when beauty speaks.

I have learned patience from watching

The beavers and ants and bees;

I have learned music and rhythm

From swaying and windblown trees.

I have learned peace and its quiet

Deep in the heart of the night,

Up where the new moon is sailing

The skies in a crescent flight.

I have learned awe through the subtle

Soft lights of an afterglow....

I have found wonder and worship

In the sky where the star stream flow.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY..PERSONAL GREATNESS

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:48 EST

MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES MONTHS AND YEARS TO TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES. ACTUALLY, YOU CAN LITERALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE IN AN INSTANT BY MAKING A SINGLE DECISION NEVER TO GO BACK TO THE WAY YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING ------NO MATTER WHAT. WHAT TAKES MONTHS, YEARS AND SOMETIME DECADES IS THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED TO LIVE BY THAT DECISION.

PERSONAL GREATNESS

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:07 EST

WE ARE NOT OUR THOUGHTS. INSTEAD, WE ARE THE CREATORS OF THE THOUGHTS THAT FLOW THROUGH OUR MINDS AND, GIVEN THIS FACT, WE CAN CHANGE OUR THOUGHTS IF WE CHOOSE TO DO SO. JUST AS YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, YOU ARE NOT YOUR MOODS. YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF THE MOODS YOU EXPERIENCE, MOODS THAT YOU CAN CHANGE IN A SINGLE INSTANT. IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO, YOU CAN FEEL PEACE IN A MOMENT OF STRESS, JOY IN A TIME OF SADNESS AND ENERGY DURING A TIME OF FATIGUE.

DAILY INSPIRATION......AUTHENTICITY

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 17:37 EST

IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE AND LIVE WITH ALL THAT YOU DESERVE, YOU MUST RUN YOUR OWN RACE. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS WHAT YOU SAY TO YOURSELF, BEING CONFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN.BE TRUE TO YOU. THAT'S A KEY SOURCE TO HAPPINESS.

WHAT IS A SOULMATE?

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:34 EST

IF YOU HAVE FOUND A SMILE THAT IS THE SWEETEST ONE YOU'VE KNOWN,

IF YOU HAVE HEARD, WITHIN A VOICE,THE ECHOES OF YOUR OWN,

IF YOU HAVE FELT A TOUCH THAT STIRS THE LONGING OF YOUR HEART,

AND STILL CAN FEEL THE CLOSENESS IN THE MOMENTS YOU'RE APART,

IF YOU HAVE FILLED WITH WONDER AT THE WAY TWO LIVES CAN BLEND

TO WEAVE A PERFECT PATTERN THAT IS SEAMLESS, END TO END,

IF YOU BELIEVE SOME THINGS IN LIFE ARE SIMPLY MEANT TO BE,

THEN YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR SOULMATE, YOUR HEART'S OWN DESTINY.

....DESTINY AND LIFE'S PURPOSE

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 11:37 EST

FROM TODAY ONWARDS, TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE. DECIDE, ONCE AND FOR ALL, TO BE THE MASTER OF YOUR FATE. RUN YOUR OWN RACE. DISCOVER YOUR CALLING AND YOU WILL START TO EXPERIENCE THE ECSTASY OF AN INSPIRED LIFE.

YOU TRULY CANNOT AFFORD THE LUXURY OF EVEN ONE NEGATIVE THOUGHT. A WORRISOME THOUGHT IS LIKE AN EMBRYO: IT STARTS OFF SMALL BUT GROWS AND GROWS. SOON IT TAKES ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN, STOP FEEDING WHAT DOESN'T SERVE YOU.

....DESTINY and LIFE'S PURPOSE

EVERY SECOND YOU DWELL ON THE PAST YOU STEAL FROM YOUR FUTURE. EVERY MINUTE YOU SPEND FOCUSING ON YOUR PROBLEMS YOU TAKE AWAY FROM FINDING YOUR SOLUTIONS. AND THINKING ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS THAT YOU WISH NEVER HAPPENED TO YOU IS ACTUALLY PREVENTING ALL THE THINGS YOU WANT TO HAPPEN FROM ENTERING INTO YOUR LIFE.

....BEST PRACTICES

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 09:05 EST

BECOME A PERSON OF ACTION, ONE OF THOSE INDOMITABLE SOULS WHO GOES OUT AND HUNTS DOWN HIS GREATEST LIFE. DO THE BEST THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO DO. AND THEN LET GO AND ECCEPT WHATEVER COMES TO YOU WITH A HAPPY HEART AND PERFECT CERTAINTY THAT THIS IS WHAT NATURE INTENDED FOR YOU.

......PERSONAL GREATNESS

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 11:58 EST

SUCCESS ON THE OUTSIDE MEANS NOTHING UNLESS YOU ALSO HAVE SUCCESS WITHIN. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WELL-BEING AND BEING WELL- OFF. THE PERSON WITH A RICH INNER LIFE IS THE RICHEST OF ALL.

.....EVENING MOOD

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 09:51 EST

A CRESENT MOON RIDES THE DEEPENING SKY,

STARS CATCH ON CLOUD WISPS DRIFTING BY,

ONE FIREFLY FLICKERS HIS COUNTING LIGHT,

CICADAS WHIRR AGAINST THE NIGHT,

A BREEZE RUFFLES THE CROWN OF THE APPLE TREE,

EARTH YIELDS SCENTED PROMISE OF THINGS TO BE,

AND THE COMPLETING THE LOVELY EVENING MOOD,

THOUGHTS OF YOU RING MY SOLITUDE.

.....INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE

FIND YOUR CAUSE,AND THEN DO YOUR WORK WITH PRIDE AND LOVE----LOVE IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE FORSE FOR GOOD. IT'S THE MOST POWERFUL THING IN THE WORLD.

........THE LITTLE THINGS

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 23:28 EST

IT REALLY IS THE LITTLE THINGS

THAT MEAN THE MOST OF ALL.....

THE " LET ME HELP YOU WITH THAT" THINGS

THAT MAY SEEM VERY SMALL,

THE "I'LL BE GLAD TO DO IT" THINGS

THAT MAKE YOUR CARES MUCH LIGHTER,

THE "LAUGH WITH ME, IT'S FUNNY" THINGS

THAT MAKE YOUR OUTLOOK BRIGHTER.....

THE "NEVER MIND THE TROUBLE" THINGS,

THE "YES, I UNDERSTAND,"

THE INTEREST AND ENCOURAGEMENT

IN EVERYTHING YOU'VE PLANNED.....

IT REALLY IS THE LITTLE THINGS,

THE FRIENDLY WORD OR SMILE,

THAT ADD SUCH HAPPINESS TO LIFE

AND MAKE IT MORE WORTH WHILE.
