quote by William James

Seek out that particular mental attitude which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, "This is the real me," and when you have found that attitude, follow it.

quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes

The great thing in this world is not so much where we are but in what direction we are moving.

quote by Rollo May

The hallmark of courage in our age of conformity is the capacity to stand on one's convictions-- not obstinately or defiantly  (these are gestures of defensiveness, not courage) nor as a gesture of retaliation, but simply because these are what one believes.

The Choice is Mine

The Choice Is Mine  

I welcome this new day.
It is mine to shape and to mold.
This is a new day, mine to use,  
to fill, to live as I see fit.
How it unfolds is up to me.
The choice is mine.    

I can be miserable,  
or I can have a great day.
I can doubt, or I can have faith.  
I can feel depressed,
or I can express the joy
that is inherent within me.  
I can wallow in self-pity,
or I can help someone in need.
I can accept defeat,
or I can strive to succeed.  
I can fear, or I can trust
. . . myself, others, God.  
I can complain about aches and pains,
or I can affirm God's  perfect life within me.  
I can dwell on loss,  
or I can seek new interests,
new joy in living.  
I can criticize others,  
or I can accept and bless them,  
and enjoy happy and harmonious relationships.  I can harbor old grudges,  
or I can forgive.  
I can speak of lack,
or I can affirm God's never-failing supply.
I can give up, or I  can make a fresh start.
I can go it alone,
or I can depend on God.  
My happiness, or lack thereof,
depends upon my attitude.  
The choice is mine.

quote by Erica Jong

                      Advice is what we 
        ask for when we already know the answer 
                     but wish we didn't.
