—  Zig Ziglar

Friday Afternoon Ponderables

"The world that you look out on, and so often see turned upside down, that world is within you. That person who you don’t like running into, that strained relationship in any unwanted moment, is not outside of you. The reason that you can’t get along with other people has nothing to do with the other people. Sure, they’re rude. Sure, they’re cruel, spiritually asleep, aggressive, all those things, but so are you. Your feelings about the world you see, with all of its confusing colors and schemes, are all reflections of your own internal life. You meet and see only yourself wherever you go. Nothing else. And that’s such an important lesson."

--Guy Finley
 
"What makes people weak? Their need for validation and recognition."

--Paulo Coelho 
 
"Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on."
 
--Iyanla Vanzant

"If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves."

--Thomas Edison

Thursday Afternoon Quotes

"Your life is right now! It’s not later. It’s not in that time of retirement. It’s not when the lover gets here. It’s not when you’ve moved into the new house. It’s not when you get the better job. Your life is right now. It will always be right now. You might as well decide to start enjoying your life right now, because it’s not ever going to get better than right now—until it gets better right now!"

--Esther Hicks


"It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see."

--Henry David Thoreau


"If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years, how man would marvel and stare."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wednesday Night Ponderables

"A vital question to ask yourself frequently is: What is my relationship with the present moment? Then become alert to find out the answer. Am I treating the Now as no more than a means to an end? Do I see it as an obstacle? Am I making it into an enemy? Since the present moment is all you ever have, since Life is inseparable from the Now, what the question really means is: What is my relationship with life?"

--Eckhart Tolle

"All meditations are nothing but efforts to bring you to the present. When you live in the present moment, with no past hanging around you, with no future projection, you are free from life and death, you are free from body and mind. You are free — simply free — you are freedom."

--Osho

"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."

--Henry David Thoreau

Tuesday Afternoon Ponderable

"The dark night of the soul is a profoundly good thing. It is an ongoing spiritual process in which we are liberated from attachments and compulsions and empowered to live and love more freely. Sometimes this letting go of old ways is painful, occasionally even devastating. But this is not why the night is called ‘dark.’ The darkness of the night implies nothing sinister, only that the liberation takes place in hidden ways, beneath our knowledge and understanding. It happens mysteriously, in secret, and beyond our conscious control. For that reason it can be disturbing or even scary, but in the end it always works to our benefit."

--Thomas Moore

Pretty much...

Monday Quotage

"If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it." 
 
--Regina Brett

"Your problem is how you are going to spend this one and precious life you have been issued. Whether you’re going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are."

--Anne Lamott

"No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself. No man is free who cannot command himself."
--Pythagoras
