Good Morning, Good Afternoon or Good Evening and Welcome to the Quote of the Week. It is time to get away from the all important details of day-to-day life, take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, kick off your shoes and enjoy reading today's quote on Gratitude!
__________

"Gratitude encourages intuition and abundance. This week and every day be thankful for who and what is in your life — instead of complaining about what you don't have. Appreciate all the abundance and goodness that's around you, whether big or small. Be thankful for your health, children, sunny days, your garden, family, best friends, or even the person who let you jump ahead in line at the bank. The more joy you begin to notice and appreciate, the easier it is for your intuition to lead you to even more happiness and prosperity."

John Holland

"Understanding and Love are not two separate things, but just one. To develop understanding, you have to practice looking at all living beings with the eyes of compassion. When you understand, you cannot help but love. And when you love, you naturally act in a way that can relieve the suffering of people."

Thich Nhat Hanh

With love and many blessings!

These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classsic...

There Is More In Valladolid, Spain, Christopher Columbus died in 1506. There stands a onument commemorating the great discoverer. An interesting feature of the memorial is a statue of a lion destroying one of the Latin words that had been part of Spain's motto for centuries. Before Columbus made his voyages, the Spaniards thought they had reached the outer limits of the earth. Thus, their motto was "Ne Plus Ultra," which means, "No more beyond." The word being torn away by the lion was "Ne" or "No," making it read "Plus Ultra." Columbus had proved that there was indeed "more beyond."

__________

"Our time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. "

Steve Jobs

Welcome to the Quote of the Week! Your weekly Spiritual Snack for the Mind, Body and Soul. Living the life you want is the theme of this week's quote. Enjoy!
__________

Deep within each one of us there is an inner longing to live a life of greatness and contribution – to really matter, to really make a difference. We may doubt ourselves and our ability to do so, but I want you to know of my deep conviction that you can live such a life. You have the potential within you. We all do. It is the birthright of the human family. All of us can consciously decide to leave behind a life of mediocrity and to live a life of greatness, at home, at work and in the community. No matter what our circumstances may be, such a decision can be made by every one of us, whether that greatness manifests by:

- choosing to have a magnificent spirit in facing an incurable disease,
- making a difference in the life of a child, giving that child a sense of worth and potential,
- becoming a change-catalyst inside an organization, or
- becoming an initiator of a great cause in society.

We all have the power to decide to live a great life, or even simpler, to have not only a good day but a great day. No matter how long we've walked life's pathway to mediocrity, we can always choose to switch paths. Always. It's never too late. We can find our voice.

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."

Dr. Seuss
__________

A Recycled Quote of the Week...

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."

Jack London

What would happen if you discoverd who you really are? Derek Walcott in his poem, Love after Love, thinks it would be like two different people meeting for the first time and making friends. Enjoy!
__________

Love After Love

The time will come when,
with elation,you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life,
whom you ignored for another,
who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

Derek Walcott

Welcome to the Quote of the Week! Your weekly spiritual snack for mind, body & soul. __________

"No effort is ever wasted, although some pay dividends later than you think... Do not imagine that you 'wasted your time' because something didn't turn out right. There is no such thing as 'waste' in the Universe. Everything -- everything -- yields benefit... It's true. And your life will show you this. So don't decry the 'effort that failed.' All things lead to your highest good. You just may not know it yet".
