 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."

 Welcome to the Quote of the Week ~ Promoting Cosmic Wisdom at Bargain Basement Prices!!  

In his quote, Sartre suggests that true optimism emerges from despair and optimism arises when individuals rely on themselves and act for the greater good.

“With despair, true optimism begins: 

the optimism of the man who expects nothing, 

who knows he has no rights and nothing coming to him, 

who rejoices in counting on himself alone and 

in acting alone for the good of all.”

Jean-Paul Sartre
