Memorial Day Quotes plus Video!

Today in the US we celebrate Memorial Day. The holiday began after the Civil War, and at that time was known as “Decoration Day.” While it was originally founded to honor the soldiers who died in the Civil War, today, Memorial Day is a day to honor all of the Americans who have died in military service. This week's quotes are dedicated to those men and women who gave their lives so that, we might be free.

"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."

Joseph Campbell

"I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day.  I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it.  We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did."

Benjamin Harrison

Quote of the Week; May 4, 2015 ~ The Power Of Choice; And you get to choose your favorite quote on choice!

"You chose. You chose. You chose. You chose to give away your love. You chose to have a broken heart. You chose to give up. You chose to hang on. You chose to react. You chose to feel insecure. You chose to feel anger. You chose to fight back. You chose to have hope. You chose to be naïve. You chose to ignore your intuition. You chose to ignore advice. You chose to look the other way. You chose to not listen. You chose to be stuck in the past. You chose your perspective. You chose to blame. You chose to be right. You chose your pride. You chose your games. You chose your ego. You chose your paranoia. You chose to compete. You chose your enemies. You chose your consequences. Choose to let go. Choose dignity. Choose to forgive yourself.
​ 
Choose to forgive others.
​ 
Choose to see your value.
​ 
Choose to show the world you’re not a victim.
​ 
Choose to make us proud.
​ ​
 
You chose. You chose. You chose. You chose.
"​

"We have these brief lives, and our only real choice is how we will fill them. Your attention is precious. Don’t squander it. Don’t throw it away. Don’t let companies and products steal it from you. Don’t let advertisers trick you into lusting after things you don’t need. Don’t let the media convince you to covet the lives of celebrities. Own your attention — it’s all you really have."

Jonathan Harris

What Is Life? They say it’s from B to D. From Birth to Death, But what’s between B and D? It’s a “C” So what is a “C”? It is a Choice. Our Life is a matter of choices, Live well and it will never GO WRONG.
