Embrace your vulnerabilities and negative feelings ~ they could open doors to greater opportunities in life! 

Welcome to the Quote of the Week! ~  Eva Pierrakos's quote encourages us (me) to confront those less pleasant feelings, so we can uncover the inner strengths that have been within us all along.

Through the gateway of feeling your weakness lies your strength.
Through the gateway of feeling your pain lies your pleasure and joy.
Through the gateway of feeling your fear lies security and safety.
Through the gateway of feeling your loneliness lies your capacity
to have fulfillment, love, and companionship.
Through the gateway of feeling your hopelessness lies true and justified hope.
Through the gateway of accepting the lacks of your childhood lies your fulfillment now.

 For the Good for all... and with harm to none... Welcome to the Quote of the Week!

Inspiration is everywhere if you look for it!  This recycled Quote of the Week classic was discovered on an embroidered sign I saw in a Long Beach Island, NJ Deli back in 2010. It encourages a mindset shift from constant longing for more to a deep gratitude and appreciation for what is already present in your life.

 

"Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want

but the realization of how much you already have."

Anonymous

 Life gets a lot easier when we can just let things be.  Welcome to the Quote of the Week; where you can find inspiration, enlightenment, insight and motivation.  This week's quote by Carl Rogers, encourages us to value and respect each person's intrinsic qualities without the need for judgment or control.

"People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be. 

When I look at a sunset as I did the other evening,  

I don’t find myself saying, ‘Soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, 

and put a bit more purple along the base, and use a little more pink in the cloud color.’  

I don’t do that.  I don’t try to control a sunset.  

I watch it with awe as it unfolds."  

Carl Rogers

 Welcome to the Quote of the Week;  Your weekly spiritual snack for mind, body & soul.  Nishan Panwar  thought-provoking reflection urges us to cherish each moment, and make the most of our time on earth.  So seize the moment!

Every minute someone leaves this world behind.
We are all in “the line” without knowing it.
We never know how many people are before us.
We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.

So while we wait in line -
Make moments count. 

Make priorities. 

Make the time.

Make your gifts known. 

Make a nobody feel like a somebody.
Make your voice heard. 

Make the small things big.
Make someone smile. 

Make the change. 

Make love.
Make up. 

Make peace. 

Make sure to tell your people they are loved.
Make sure to have no regrets.  

Make sure you are ready.

Nishan Panwar

 Welcome to the Quote of the Week!   This week's quote by the late, great Tina Turner encourages us  to take inventory of our lives, identify what no longer serves us, and bravely release it. By doing so, we can open ourselves up to a world of possibilities allowing our authentic self to shine through.

“Sometimes you've got to let everything go–purge yourself. 

If you are unhappy with anything...whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. 

Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”

Tina Turner (RIP)

Looking for that inner place of peace and joy?  Then welcome to the Quote of the Week!  This week's quote this week suggests that true beauty emerges from the resilience and personal growth fostered by confronting and overcoming life's challenges. 

 

  

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known 

defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found 

their way out of the depths.  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."
