Think Big, Play Big

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

You are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.  We are all meant to shine, as children do.  We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. 

It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

–  author Marianne Williamson, in her book “Return to Love”

Commit to Success

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.  Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans :

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.

–  explorer WH Murray, who wrote the passage during one of the first Himalayan expeditions

Success

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.  This is to have succeeded.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

What Do You Do When Things Screw Up…

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

After You Have Done Everything You Possibly Could ?

Yes, nothing.

I’m not trying to kid you.  Don’t think that I’m belittling the catastrophic moment when all hell break loose, or dismiss this as insignificant.  There’s a hella significance in this one word –> 

Don’t get angry.  Don’t curse or blame.  Don’t get depressed.  Don’t fret.  Don’t be resigned.  Don’t give up.  That’s right, do nothing.  

Even though you may have done everything you possibly could, things may just screw up.  Even if you are the best expert in your field, there will come a rainy day and that’s not of your making.  This is part and parcel of the phenomenon called life

Just move on.
