In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. Dancers are the athletes of God. ~ Albert Einstein ~ One of…

THE WAY OF LOVE
I choose the way of Love and I am lifted up by Angels. Slow down and get quiet enough to listen to your inner guide (a.k.a your intuition or your truth), and spend less time listening to other people’s opinions or the loud, critical voice inside your own mind. One of the best practices for…

SEIZE THE DAY – FOCUS ON TODAY
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the “present.” ~ Babatunde Olatunji ~ “In magic – and in life – there is only the present moment, the now.

SUCH IS LIFE
When one door of happiness closes, another opens. But we often took so long at the closed door, that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing…
BE MORE CHILDLIKE
People may fail time and time again, but they become failures only when they begin to blame someone else. It is not what you gather but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived and person you have become. To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it, so…

SPEAK KINDLY
Kind words are the music of the soul. ~ F. W. Faber ~ Kind words in a conversation with others will show that you care, regardless of the message you are trying to give. Being kind doesn’t mean that you can’t make your point. Being kind doesn’t mean that you can’t be direct. By being…

OPEN DOOR
When one door closes, another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. ~ Alexander Graham Bell ~ Open doors, doors that we thought would always be available to us, do close. But there are plenty…
