Seize the Moment? Seize the day? Carpe Diem? Maybe not according to the movie Boyhood. This weeks' quote are from the lines at the end of the movie. I am thinking that I may have to think a bit about my approach to life!
___________
Mason: Yeah… Yeah, I know. It’s constant. The moments… It’s just—It’s like it’s always right now, you know?
From the movie, Boyhood
__________
Ugh. This quote presents another lesson for me ~ Can I stop pretending that I am in control and let the moments seize me? I hope so! What do you do? Do you seize the moment or do you let the moment seize you?

Wishing you a most beautiful day, wherever this may find you!!!!! OPA!

Welcome Back to the Quote of the Week. A little practical advice from Thubten Chodron is this week's Quote of the Week!
__________
“It can be difficult to accept others and to accept ourselves. “I should be better. I should be something different. I should have more.” all of this is conception; it’s all mental fabrication. It’s just the mind churning up “shoulds,” “ought tos,” and “supposed tos.” all this is conceptual rubbish, and yet we believe it. Part of the solution is to recognize that these thoughts are conceptual rubbish and not reality; this gives us the mental space not to believe them. When we stop believing them, it becomes much easier to accept what we are at any given moment, knowing we will change in the next moment. We’ll be able to accept what others are in one moment, knowing that they will be different in the next moment. This is good stuff for everyday practice; it’s very practical."

Welcome Back to the Quote of the Week. It is now time to meet the challenges of a brand new week! If there was a theme to this week's quotes it would be, "It's an inside job!"

Abraham-Hicks, Getting Into the Vortex
__________
"The possibility of making this your best year ever exists in every moment, because having the best year of your life depends not on some outside accomplishment but on allowing the greatest expression of yourself to be unveiled. Having the best year of your life is about becoming the person you always wanted to be. It's about embracing a vision of yourself at your best and developing the qualities that will take you there."

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic (from 2006)....
"Every life you touch will touch you back. Treasure every sunrise, every raindrop that hits your nose, every slobber of your dog, the feeling of sand between your toes. Be moved by the tears of a child, and try to fix the cause. Be grease, not glue. Breathe deep, exhale slowly, and never miss a chance to help another while on your journey here."

Starting
the week off on a positive note can be very difficult. We know
it shouldn't be, but it is. And sometimes it takes more than just a
potent cup of coffee to kick our raggedy butts into gear. It may take
the latest edition of THE QUOTE OF THE WEEK!

From the Quote of the Week Files; January 5, 2015
“And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been, full of work that has never been done, full of tasks, claims, and demands; and let us see that we learn to take it without letting fall too much of what it has to bestow upon those who demand of it necessary, serious, and great things.”

One Word; One Year Exercise
Happy New Year Everybody! Now that 2014 is over it is time to “Shake it off. Just shake it off!” (according to Taylor Swift) and begin the new year with a word(s) (not a resolution) that will serve as a compass on who you want to be or how you want to live.
For 2014 my word was Synchronicity (it served me well and I will miss it) and In the past my words have been: Expand, Gratitude, Possibilities, Openness, Memento Mori, Grace and 525,600 (which represents the number of minutes we have in a year).
My 2015 Word (Mantra) for the Year is the Greek word OPA! as it is described by Alex Pattakos (see below). While OPA! has different meanings depending on the context that it is used, for me it will serve as a reminder to be aware and embrace the positive nature of the present moment. So to all Quote of the Week members, I say "OPA!"
What about you? What will be your word(s) that will guide you through 2014? Please Share!
