NO MAN HAS A CHANCE TO ENJOY PERMANENT SUCCESS UNTIL HE BEGINS TO LOOK IN A MIRROR FOR THE REAL CAUSE OF ALL HIS MISTAKES. Napoleon Hill

Imagination is a faculty of the mind which can be cultivated, developed, extended and broadened by use.

“People who express gratitude create pools of generosity in the world around them.” ~Martha Beck

“Life is a garden, not a road. We enter and exit through the same gate. Wandering, where we go matters less than what we notice.” ~Kurt Vonnegut

“Let the hard things in life break you. Let them effect you. Let them change you. Let those hard moments inform you. Let this pain be your teacher. The experiences of your life are trying to tell you something about yourself. Don’t cop out on that.

Don’t run away and hide under your covers. Lean into it. What is the lesson in the wind? What is the storm trying to tell you? What will you learn if you face it with courage? With full honesty and – lean into it.” ~ Pema Chodron

Relax into the Day, the Month, the Quarter, the Year. Be aware of Yellow Lights and Green Lights, No need or advantage to Rush. Stay focused on what's in front of me, Stay in the Now. Enjoy the Moments, as they unfold. Notice the Stillness, and Be, and Be and Be

The Little Things Hold the Joy; Working in the Garden for the final harvest of the season, Walking the neighborhood, enjoying the fall colors, Writing in the early morning, Napping in the afternoons, Working the nuances of our business,..............See the Goodness, it is Abundantly Everywhere.

“The secret of a full life is to live and relate to others as if they might not be there tomorrow, as if you might not be there tomorrow. It eliminates the vice of procrastination, the sin of postponement, failed communications, failed communions. This thought has made me more and more attentive to all encounters. meetings, introductions, which might contain the seed of depth that might be carelessly overlooked. This feeling has become a rarity, and rarer every day now that we have reached a hastier and more superficial rhythm, now that we believe we are in touch with a greater amount of people, more people, more countries.

This is the illusion which might cheat us of being in touch deeply with the one breathing next to us. The dangerous time when mechanical voices, radios, telephones, take the place of human intimacies, and the concept of being in touch with millions brings a greater and greater poverty in intimacy and human vision.” ~Ana?s Nin

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them and the point is to live everything.

Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” —Rainer Maria Rilke,

We are all born with playfulness—and play we will, until we’re taught that life is serious. That there are very important things to be done, and that we must focus not on the present but on the future. “What do you want to do with your life?” we are asked. “No, not now,” they insist, “in the future?” So begins the shift.

Slowly we stop celebrating the glorious present and begin focusing on the future. And the reason for all of this? To be happy. Not now, silly. In the future. “Work hard now,” they reason, “and you’ll be happy later.” Happiness is stolen from us, and placed in an imaginary future that we can never reach. We become lost in illusion, or rather disillusion: that happiness resides in the future. A practical joke we’ve played on ourselves.

Get Out in Nature

Come to the wilderness and the animals will remind you about the celebration of life. Once food and shelter are secured, celebration, beauty, and love are all we need. Love is everywhere, beaming from the trees, the sunlight, the clouds, the mist. We must only grab ahold of it and run wildly, out into the world with playful glee, celebrating the glory and splendor of life. No guru. No method. No teacher.

Just come to Nature and the truth will find you. But if your mind is too busy you will never hear it. If you’re always trying to get somewhere you will never get it. Because here and now is where it all lies.
