Welcome to the Quote of the Week! This week's quote is from the song, Conviction of the Heart by Kenny Loggins. The song is about the environment, but for me it is also about being connected (synchronicity), figuring out what is important and the contribution I want to make.

Conviction of the Heart
One with the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe it will start
With conviction of the heart

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...
"Attention is also known as mindfulness, awareness, concentration, recollection. It is a primary practice, and not just alphabetically. We must stay alert or we risk missing some of the critical elements of life — moments of grace, opportunities for gratitude, evidence of our connections to others. The good news is that attention can be practiced anywhere, anytime, in the daily rounds of our lives.
Begin by doing one thing at a time. Keep your mind focused on whatever you happen to be doing at the moment. It is through the mundane and the familiar that we discover a world of ceaseless wonders. Train yourself to notice details."

Conviction of the Heart (Song Lyrics)
On which the earth raise the sky
On which every thing in life
Where are the dreams that we once had?
This is the time to bring them back
What were the promises
Caught on the tips of our tongues?
Do we forget or forgive?
There's a whole other life
Waiting to live when
One day we're brave enough
To talk with conviction of the heart
And down your streets I've walked alone
As if my feet were not my own
Such is the path I chose
Doors I have opened and closed
I'm tired of living this life
Fooling myself, believing we're right when
I've never given love
With any conviction of the heart
One with the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe we'll survive
If we only try
How long must we all wait to change?
This world bound in chains that we live in
To know what it is to forgive
And be forg-i-i-iven
Too many years of taking now
Isn't it time to stop somehow?
Air that's too angry to breathe
Water our children can't drink
You've heard it hundreds of times
Say you're aware, believe and you care
But do you care enough?
Where's your conviction of the heart?
Ohh
One with the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe it will start
With conviction of the heart
With the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe it will start
With conviction of the heart
One earth, one sky
Only one world
Only one chance, for one life
When will we live?
(With conviction of the heart)
One child, one dream, the only one life
(One with the earth, with the sky)
You got one chance for one life
(I believe it will start)
When will we live?
(With conviction of the heart)
Only one earth, only one sky
(One with the earth, with the sky)
Only one world
(One with everything in life)
We've only got one chance to live in one life
I believe
(I believe)
It's all we got to start when we begin with some conviction of the heart
(It will start with conviction of the heart)
Kenny Loggins
