“This is the new year the new you.
You can pass through another year, coasting on cruise control. Or you can step out of your comfort zone, trying things you have never done before, & make 2018 the year that you elevate from where you are & soar high.
Make it happen!”

One Word One Year Project
Now that the winter solstice has passed, New Year's Day is almost here!!! So, it may be time to reflect on the past 12 months (be gentle with yourself) and more importantly, come up with your guiding WORD or PHRASE for 2018! (a Quote of the Week Project since 2008!)
This word will guide you and sum up the essence and focus for the next 365 days of your life. Hopefully it will inspire you on what you want "TO BE" as opposed to what you need "TO DO" and maybe it will allow you to step back and look at the BIG picture:
What do I want to feel this coming year?
What kind of experiences do I want to have?
What results, effects, or changes do I want to see?
What will be your word or phrase that will guide you through 2018? Please Share!
A poster with your word will be created and emailed to you free of charge (normally it's $49.99)

A Bonus Quote of the Week Classic...
At the end of each year, I ask myself two questions:
What do I want to create in this New Year?
And, perhaps even more importantly,
What do I want to let go of?

Burn Brightly Today!
“A single candle can fight against any darkness and light up a room. Its glow can be seen for miles in the gloom of dusk. A single candle can comfort our spirit in a storm as its flame tangos with the shadows and flickers with resilient hopes. A single candle can show us the way simply by standing by our side. A single candle can inspire nostalgia and warm our very souls. So too… can a single person.
Burn brightly today.”
Jason Versey

Insist on yourself
“Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance

The Obstacle is the Way
“Our actions may be impeded, but there can be no impeding our intentions or dispositions. Because we can accommodate and adapt. The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
Marcus Aurelius

"Almost nothing important that ever happens to you happens because you engineer it. Destiny has no beeper; destiny always leans trench coated out of an alley with some sort of 'psst' that you usually can't even hear because you're in such a rush to or from something important you've tried to engineer."

"Live a good life.
If there are gods and they are just,
then they will not care how devout you have been,
but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone,
but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the
memories of your loved ones."
Marcus Aurelius

Our job is to ...
"Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can."
Thomas Merton

“You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away.”

Live More, and Live more Intensely
“The fear of death is fear of time. And the fear of time is, deeply down, fear of unlived moments, of an unlived life. So what to do? Live more, and live more intensely. Live dangerously. It is your life. Don’t sacrifice it for any sort of foolishness that has been taught to you. It is your life: Live it! Don’t sacrifice it for words, theories, countries or politics. Don’t sacrifice it for anybody. Live it! Don’t think that it is courageous to die. The only courage is to live life totally; there is no other courage.”
Osho

A reminder to LIVE
Immediately and Gratefully
Returning to Life after being Dead
"When I am feeling dreary, annoyed, and generally unimpressed by life, I imagine what it would be like to come back to this world for just a day after having been dead. I imagine how sentimental I would feel about the very things I once found stupid, hateful, or mundane. Oh, there’s a light switch! I haven’t seen a light switch in so long! I didn’t realize how much I missed light switches! Oh! Oh! And look — the stairs up to our front porch are still completely cracked! Hello cracks! Let me get a good look at you. And there’s my neighbor, standing there, fantastically alive, just the same, still punctuating her sentences with you know what I’m saying? Why did that bother me? It’s so… endearing."
Amy Krouse Rosenthal
(April 29, 1965–March 13, 2017)

The way is long -- let us go together
The way is difficult -- let us help each other
The way is joyful -- let us share it
The way is ours alone -- let us go in love
The way grows before us -- let us begin

If I Had My Life to Live Over
"If I Had My Life to Live Over, I'd dare to make more mistakes. I'd relax, I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I'm one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had it to do over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat and a parachute. If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies."

The Light is who we Truly are!
"Everyone has this giant, luminous being that is their true self… Everyone is a sleeping giant, so to speak, waiting to hear the call, waiting to surrender to it, waiting to act on it. We’ve gotten caught up in thinking we are what we look like,
the physical, the exterior. We think we’re the lamp shade.
We’ve forgotten that we are the light—the electricity and the luminosity that lights up every man, woman, and child.
The light is who we truly are.”
Michael

Living Gratefully
"Living gratefully begins with affirming the good and recognizing its sources. It is the understanding that life owes me nothing and all the good I have is a gift accompanied by an awareness that nothing can be taken for granted."

"Good things as well as bad, you know, are caught by a kind of infection, if you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them."
