Where are we going

  "The Law-of-Destination is straightforward and simple: It is not possible to arrive where we never take the time to go."

Heather K. O'Hara

Thoughts: TAKE THE TIME EVERYDAY to choose where our mind takes us. It is not necessary to go far off course at the whim of every gust that comes along. 

The wind is not in our control but we can make the world better by being steadfast in our values and staying kind in the face of storms.

"You know what matters?

Hope, Kindness.

You know how that spreads?

Through you.

You are hope for others

You are kindness too.

Share that today.

Rachel Marie Martin

Terrible is??

 “Everything terrible is something that needs our love.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

Thoughts: Hate and fear don't seem to be working 

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
Albert Einstein

"Imagination is more important than knowledge"
Albert Einstein

Opportunities

 "Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them."

Ann Landers

"You have to really be courageous about your instincts and your ideas. Otherwise you'll just knuckle under, and things that might have been memorable will be lost."
Francis Ford Coppola

Thoughts: A little courage and some hard work go a long way to make life interesting

Imagination

 

"You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus."

Mark Twain

Thoughts:

People tell me this is this and that is that, but what about everything in between? What about that is this and this is that? 

The way I see it is there is no point to staying stuck in one view point, the longer we're in one place the more we see confirmations of that view. 

Generally I'm not seeing this passive mode of thinking make us more productive or happy or motivated to change the world or any other action ... 

We don't need to be right or wrong to exercise our imagination, we don't need it to take us to a conclusion. We just need it to become a little more free, to become a little more alive, to take a few risks which open us up to a place in between the absolutes of this and that.

"The man who has no imagination has no wings."
Muhammad Ali

"Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you."
Joel Osteen
