Quotes!

[Alissa]

I love quotes!
They can inspire us and have such a huge impact in such few words.
Here is mine for the day:

"It is not your passing inspirations or brilliant ideas so much as your everyday habits that control your life"
paramahansa yogananada

I love this one. It is especially good for me because i usually have about 2-3 new ideas a day -as in major life altering ideas such as where to travel, business ventures, and then a bunch of light bulb moments and im always changing what i do daily, which i think is a good thing in a way, but sometimes my "brilliant ideas" and "passing inspirations" take me away from being in the moment and being conscious of the now.

Any other ones you guys like....

From the Eternal Grandmaster.......creator of our style of taekwondo:

"Today not possible; tomorrow possible."

I use this with the kids all the time. They are familiar with it due to their involvement in taekwondo but I want them to see how it applies to all aspects of our lives.

kristi explain this one ???

my strenght lies in my willingness to be vunerable..i like this one..to remind me that being open and having all my feelings isnt a wimpy thing..

[thunderdancer]

ooooh wow, holding myself back here :)

Ok, my over riding quote that always comes to heart 1st is...

"We must be the change we wish to see in the world"
- Ghandi

[Kristi]

Wow Thunderdancer....I like that one!

Marigold ~ do you mean explain my quote? If so it means you many try and fail today but there is always tomorrow.......what you can do now can be done later if you get up try tomorrow. Never give up!

Ok, couldn't stop there.

There are more of my favourites although I get a lot of inspiration and 'messages' from songs too. Here are a few of my long time faves....

"If you don't care where you are,
then you ain't lost."

"Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love." ~ Rumi

As you sail through this day, find wonder in the many passages awaiting you and awake to the journey of life. ~ Flavia

"Let the little fairy in you fly!" ~ Rufus Wainwright

"Courage is not the absence of fear,
but rather the judgment that
something else is more important than fear"
~ Ambrose Redmoon

Breathe yourself love
~one of my poet friend's magnetic poems

[Kristi]

Life is NOT a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, "Wow! What a ride!!!!"

Another reason for you to sign up for martial arts!

[thunderdancer]

NICE Kristi - was that your own words? I love it!

I'll be back in here with more, I know it

[Kristi]

Can't claim that. Not sure who wrote that. I keep a journal of things that inspire me or make me laugh or make me think......or all the above. I never could keep a daily journal. I just find cool things and jot them down it this book. I reread it when I am feeling blue. It puts my priorities in order.

This really speaks to me right now in my life! Thanks so much Thunderdancer!
I am going back into counseling to face some things I have been so afraid to face.
And this little saying gives me perspective and courage.

thank you so much for sharing this.

i think this one is great and from someone we all know

"Now, I realize that with my history, I can't afford to mess around. As I say, I'm ONE bad decision away from being the miserable person I used to be. So I just don't allow flexibility in my eating plan. I can't, I can't afford to lose control. I love my life right now! Food used to torture me, food caused constant anxiety in my life. I'm free from all of that now. I never want to go back."

[marigold]

[Kristi]

Sue's quote-----It really helped me. I have it posted inside a cabinet door in the kitchen. That's where I hang inspirational stuff.

[thunderdancer]

Just read an awesome quote...

I think the world would be a better place if everyone remember to play and be silly.
