It is the morning

It is the morning

 of your life

 and all your dreams

 are just

 the

 beginning.

You set the rules

You

 set the rules

 for you,

 love

 true love

 is the only answer

We are naturally unbounded

We are naturally unbounded

 and do not

 need to accept boundaries

You don't always have to pretend to be strong

You don't always have to pretend

 to be strong,

 there's no need to prove

 all the time

 that everything is going well,

 you shouldn't be concerned

 about

 what other people are thinking,

 cry if you need to,

 it's good to cry out all your tears.

 (because only then will you be able to smile again!!)

You cannot change

You

 cannot change

 what

 you

 refuse to confront

!!!

Part of loving people

I guess

 that's just part of loving people:
 You just 
have to give things up.

Sometimes

 you
 even have to give them up.

- Lauren Oliver -

Each choice

Each choice

 we make causes a ripple effect

 in our lives.

 When things happen to us,

 it is the reaction we choose

 that can create the difference

 between the sorrow

 of our past

 and the joy

 in the future.

What you actually experience

What you actually experience

 is

 up to you.

 It could be

 what you planned to experience,

 or

 it could be

 something else,

 depending upon what you choose.

People come into our lives

"Whether people come into our lives

 for a reason,

 a season

 or

 lifetime,

 they all touch our spirit."

~ Enza Currenti ~

All it takes for evil to win

All it takes for evil to win,

 is for good people to do nothing!

The greatest danger for most of us

"The greatest danger

 for most of us

 is not that our aim is too high

 and we miss,

 but that it is too low

 and we reach it."

- Michelangelo -

I am totally independent

“I am totally independent

 of the good

 or bad

 opinion of others."

~Deepak Chopra~

Sometimes the paths we take

"Sometimes the paths we take

 are long and hard,

 but remember:

 those are the ones that lead

to the most beautiful views.".... Lori

People can affect me

People can affect me

 but they can't lead me.

 This is my life!

When I woke up this morning lying in bed

When I woke up this morning lying in bed, I was asking myself,

 'What are some of the secrets of success in life?

 I found the answers right there, in my very room.

 The fan said.............Be Cool.

 The Roof said...........Aim High.

 The window said.......See the World.

 The Clock said..........Every minute is precious.

 The Mirror said..........Reflect before you act.

 The Calender said............Be up-to-date. 

The door said............Push hard for your goals. 

And I went out 

with more confidence in my life!

In order to fly

"In order to fly,

 all one must do

 is simply miss

 the ground." - Douglas Adams

Whatever happens, whether blessing or challenge

"Whatever happens, whether blessing or challenge,

Find your heart beat

Tune into the LOVE frequency

Channel the waters of your inner being

'And surrender - go with the flow'

Join in the 'dance of life'

As you move to the rhythm of mother nature

FOR as sure as sunset follow a day of light

So too each dawn will follow a night of darkness

The seasons of your life

Will continually resonate to the cycles of your destiny

The cycles of life, the tides of the ocean will merge as one

Anticipating waves of inspiration to awaken the soul."

~ Enza Currenti ~

The longer you wait for something

The longer you wait for something,

 The more you appreciate it when you get, Because anything worth having

 is definitely worth waiting for.

The voice within

The voice within

 is the loudest voice with which I speak,

 because

 it is the closest to you.

 It is the voice

 which tells you

 whether everything else is

 true

 or

 false,

 right or wrong,

 good or bad

 as you have defined it.

 It is the radar that sets the course,

 steers the ship,

 guides the journey 

if you

 but

 let it.

I choose to live by choice

I choose

to live by choice, not by chance;

to make changes, not excuses;

to be motivated, not manipulated;

to be useful, not used;

to excel, not compete;

my self-esteem, not self pity;

to listen to my inner voice,

 not random opinions of others

Everyday is a celebration

Everyday is a celebration

 because instead of waiting

 for happy endings,

 we open our eyes

 to the wonder of life,

 to see the humor

 and

 magic in each moment.

 Be delighted

 in the way things turn,

 amazed at the beauty of it all.

A pessimist, A philosopher and An optimist

"A pessimist

 sees only the dark side of the clouds,

 and mopes;

 A philosopher

 sees both sides,

 and shrugs;

An optimist

 doesn't see the clouds at all

he's

 walking on them."

We seem to be always searching

"We seem to be always searching

 for

 "our true purpose"

don't forget

 to stop and realize

 that what you are doing right

 now has purpose!"

Nothing that is worth knowing

"Nothing

 that is worth knowing

 can be

 taught!"

- Oscar Wilde -

Full of negative on the inside

Those

 who always have negative

 things to say

 are simply full of negative

 on the inside.

 They're trying to share

 their pain.

The best way to get someone’s attention

"Sometimes the best way to get someone’s attention is to stop giving them yours."

Ladies: stop blaming men

Ladies: stop blaming men, take responsibility for your failures. Blaming anyone for the bad in your life, only hurts you. - Gentlemenhood

Pursue the things you love to do

"Pursue the things you love to do.

 Research,

 learn,

 network,

 answer opportunity's knock.

 Work won't be such a headache

 when its your dreams."

- GentlemanTheory -

You’re not scared of the dark

You’re not scared of the dark,

 you’re scared of what’s in it.

 You’re not afraid of heights,

 you’re afraid of falling.

 You’re not afraid of people around you,

 you’re just afraid of rejection.

 You’re not afraid to try again.

 You’re just afraid of getting hurt

 for the same reason.

 Take courage because in the end,

 you aren't truly afraid of what you think you're afraid

 of...

The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery

The deepest secret is that life

 is not a process of discovery,

 but a process of creation.

 You are not discovering yourself,

 but creating yourself anew.

 Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are,

 seek to determine

 Who

 You Want to Be.

Your best music is still inside you

Your best music is still inside you. – The only way for us to have long-term happiness and success is to live by our highest principles, to consistently act in accordance with what we believe our life is in fact about. That music you hear inside you motivating you to take risks and follow your dreams is your instinctive calling to the true purpose in your heart and mind. Don’t ignore it. Be enthusiastic about all that you do, and the possibilities that lie ahead. Have the courage to pursue your calling. Don’t die with your music still in you.

Bill Gates Commencement speech

Bill Gates recently gave a Commencement speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! 

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. 

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. 

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. 

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity. 

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes; learn from them. 

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room. 

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life. 

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time. 

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.  

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

When we are no longer

‎"When we are no longer

 able to change a situation,

 we are challenged

 to change ourselves."

~Victor Frankl~

Everybody wants the world to change

"Everybody wants
               the world to change,
      but nobody
                                       wants to change!"

Employ your time in improving yourself

"Employ your time in improving yourself

 by other man's writings,

 so that you shall gain easily

 what others have laboured hard for."
