Totally Insane with Joy
"When someone you love walks through the door, even if it happens five times a day, you should go totally insane with joy."
Stop. Look. Go.
"How can each one of us find a method for living gratefully, not just once in a while being grateful, but moment by moment to be grateful. How can we do it? It's a very simple method."
Think Differently with Gratitude
"Gratitude encounters interruptions as invitations, deepens and expands horizons for re-envisioning reality, and cultivates depth perception for how we see other people."
~ Laura Russell
Fast Asleep
“Your eyes are open,
Your body's moving,
Your lips are speaking,
But you're far from awake.”
From Sleepwalker by Cloud Cult
We Protect What We Fall In Love With
"Beauty and seduction are nature's tools for survival, because we protect what we fall in love with. It opens our hears and makes us realize we are part of nature and that we're not separate from it."
~ Louie Schwartzberg
Grateful for Annoying People and Difficult Situations
"Conventional gratitude is based on distinguishing what we like from what we do not, good fortune from bad fortune, success from failure, opportunities from obstacles. By practicing conventional gratitude, we may begin to better appreciate times of good fortune and opportunity. But what about all the obstacles, unpleasant people, and difficulties in our life? "
~ Acharya Judy Lief
Find Something to Push Yourself Out of Your Comfort Zone
“If you want to have any success at it, you've got to be able to push through your own pain barriers.
So what I'd like to encourage all of you to do is find something to push yourself out of your comfort zone.
Believe me, I know that's not an easy thing to do or to want to do, but when the time comes that you have to rely on those things and you have no choice—what literally might be life and death—you can draw on those things to get you through those times."
~ Blake Haxton
