Were you Born with Wings?

"You were born with potential.

You were born with goodness and trust.

You were born with ideals and dreams.

You were born with greatness.

You were born with wings.

You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.

You have wings.

Learn to use them and fly."

Rumi

 A Thanksgiving Quote (from last year) worth repeating!

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. 

It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...

it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

Melody Beattie

 Gratitude: great to have, better to give!

 Cultivating Equanimity

(I'm trying!)

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, 

and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. 

It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity."

Carl Jung

  I can relate to this...
