TAKE A STAND!

What do you truly believe in? Where does your heart lie?
What are you willing to make a solid commit to
that will make a difference in this life?
If you don't know, why not?
If you do know ... what are you doing about it?
Take a stand, and take action!

TALENT

We've all been blessed with talents -
some to heal with medicine, some to heal with a touch or a word,
some to design, some to build,
some to write, some to sing -
and if you haven't already discovered yours,
take the time to find them
(we ALL have more than one)
and then pursue them with absolute passion!

Don't just settle for doing things that don't move your soul.
Our time on this earth is too precious
to waste in doing meaningless, mindless busy work.

Begin NOW!
Take whatever time you need -
a day, a week, a month, or even a year or more -
but strive to discover your talents,
and then pursue them passionately
and share them unselfishly.

The world needs more passionate people
discovering and sharing their talents,
and fulfilling their destiny.

Jace Carlton

Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates.
There's plenty of movement,
but you never know if it's going to be forwards, backwards, or sideways.

Whatever you are by nature, keep at it;
never desert your own line of talent.
Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed;
be anything else and you will be ten thousand times worse than nothing.

Sydney Smith

Take what talent you have
and work with it.
Don't work against it.

TEAMWORK

The question is not how well each person works,
but how well they work together.

CONQUERING TEMPTATIONS

Trials, temptations, disappointments --
all these are helps instead of hindrances, if one uses them rightly.
They not only test the fibre of a character, but strengthen it.
Every conquered temptation represents a new fund of moral energy.
Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit
makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before.

THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS

The storms of life can blow against us so powerfully
that, at times, we feel we just can't take any more.
Pain, sorrow, misfortune, ill health, loss of a loved one, loss of a job ...
any one of these can fell us with the power of a logger's ax.
But when more than one strike their blows
we often cry out, "Why me?"
Our faith can bring us to hope
that tomorrow will, somehow, be better than today.
Somehow a ray of sunshine
will break through the storms in our life.
Exercising our faith, through prayer,
can make it so.

THOUGHTS

The kind of life you live,
your disposition, your very nature,
will be determined by your thoughts,
of which your acts are but the outward expression.
Thought is the seed of action.

TIME

The chief beauty about the constant supply of time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour
are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.

Arnold Bennett

If you want to make good use of your time,
you've got to know what's most important
and then give it all you've got.

Lee Iacocca

Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love,
time is eternity.

Spending time with a grandparent - Caring
Spending time with your sweetheart - Romantic
Spending time with your children - Playful
Spending time with a friend - Relaxing

Seeing a smile on their faces - Priceless

Time is a created thing.
To say "I don't have time," is like saying
"I don't want to."

Lao Tzu

Don't say you don't have enough time.
We have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to
Helen Keller, Louis Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa,
Leonardo DaVinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.

Take time to listen
to the song of your soul
Take time to follow
your heart to its goal
now that I've lived more
I've learned to
Take time before
Time takes you

TODAY

Today is non-returnable.
Make it unforgettable!

Anonymous

I expect to pass through this world but once.
If, therefore, there be any kindness that I can show,
or any good thing I can do,
let me do it now;
let me not defer or neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again.

TRANSFORMATION

You'll see it when you believe it.

Wayne Dyer

You and I possess within ourselves,
at every moment of our lives,
under all circumstances,
the power to transform the quality of our lives.

A PRICELESS TREASURE

Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours.
They are one of the few things in this world that you get free of charge.
If you had all the money in the world, you couldn't buy an extra hour.
What will you do with this priceless treasure?
Remember, you must use it, as it is given only once.
Once wasted you cannot get it back.

Only by much searching and mining are gold and diamonds obtained,

TRUST

Trust in Divine timing.
Your future holds something far greater than your past.

Cheryl Richardson
Author and Lecturer

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul
for thinking bad things about him.
He said, of course not.
I said, well, I think you stink.
And he gave me a technical.
You can't trust 'em.

TRUTH

Being vulnerable doesn't have to be threatening.
Just have the courage to be sincere, open and honest.
This opens the door to deeper communication all around.
It creates self-empowerment
and the kind of connections with others we all want in life.
Speaking from the heart frees us from the secrets that burden us.
These secrets are what make us sick or fearful.
Speaking truth helps you get clarity on your real heart directives.

Sara Paddison

The Hidden Power of the Heart

You must speak straight
so that your words may go as sunlight to our hearts.
