Are you embracing life fully, rejecting fear, choosing to live expansively, and daring to transform each experience into a journey of growth and purpose? This week's Recycled Quote of the Week Classic from 2006 by Dawna Markova encourages us to do just that! 

"I will not die an unlived life. 

I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, 

to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, 

to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. 

I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed 

goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit." 

Dawna Markova

 Welcome to the Quote of the Week ~ Serving the Psycho-Spiritual Needs of People on the Go since 1984. 

This week's featured quote is from Jennie, an enigmatic bartender with a refreshing simple philosophy (see quote). This charismatic mixologist not only crafts drinks, serves food, and, most importantly, is a go-to source for a daily dose of positivity.

"If I woke up, why shouldn't I smile?"

 Seek and Embrace Your Glimmers! Welcome to the Quote of the Week! Glimmers take center stage in this week's reflection by Robert Ignatius.

"Amid life's distractions, discover inner peace in

the soft light of gimmers, not the loud chaos of triggers."

This week's Care Package ~ all about GLIMMERS!

What the heck are Glimmers...

Glimmers are those faint and subtle micro moments, which have the power to infuse our lives with joy, inspiration, and fulfillment, creating a sense of safety and calm in our nervous system. They encompass a wide spectrum, from acknowledging and cherishing life's blessings, to witnessing a rainbow, to discovering peace and serenity in nature, even to the simple pleasure of finding the last cookie in the jar, and everything in between.

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
