      I have a portfolio of fav quotes but here's one I really seek to live up to on a daily basis.

      The Outward Bound co-founder, Kurt Hahn, made this thought-provoking belief statement:

      "We are all better than we know and if only we can be brought to realize this, we never may be prepared to settle for anything less."

    I Have a Lot of Special Qotes but the one uppermost in my mind today is
    Believing is "Seeing" We See What We Believe in our external World. But on the contrary most of us were taught that we should only believe the things we can see with our eyes . This is by the way a revolving Door. Inorder to get the Images in our external world corresponding to the Images in our minds Then we need to start on the inside. Believe the picture we have created in our minds and it will most certainly show-up on the outside.

    My personal quote:

    We are all ONE CREATION, ONE LIFE, ONE ENERGY with mother nature, the Earth, the Universe and GOD. We are all made of one basic substance; the atom. Or millions of them make up each organism, each cell in each organism if you wish.

    How about we simply choose to love everyone including Mother Nature as she is our life source, as given us by God.

    Kind regards and have a great year,

      "Every great person has challenges. It's not what happens to you that matters, it's how you respond that counts. So choose to respond courageously. Remember to be hopeful and forgiving. And act with purpose. Because with a little time and effort, you can accomplish anything."

        The Secret of Getting Things Done --Verse 63 Tao Te Ching

        Act without acting on.
        Work without working at.

        Enter bountifulness when it is still insufficiency.
        Answer with kindness when faced with hostility.

        Begin a difficult task in its easy stage
        because large problems grow from small ones.

        Begin a large task in its formative state
        because complex issues originate from simple ones.

        But beware of those who promise quick and easy solutions!
        Accept problems as challenges.

        In this way, the sage accomplishes great tasks
        without ever having to struggle with them.

        -Blake

    "I learned this, that if you advance confidently in the direction of your dreams, and endeavor to live the life which you have imagined, you will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. You will put some things behind, you will pass an invisible boundary, new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within you; or the old laws will be expanded, and interpreted in your favor in a more liberal sense, and you will live with the license of a higher order of beings."

      This is a GREAT one and one that I've enjoyed for years.

      The Man in the Arena: By Teddy Roosevelt at the Sorbonne in Paris on April 23 1910. His speech is well known for an extended passage, which has become quite famous over the years.

      "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
