Do it Now!!

 

If there was ever a time to dare, to make a difference,
To embark on something worth doing, IT IS NOW.

Not for any grand cause, necessarily... But for something that tugs at your heart,
Something that's your inspiration, something that's your dream.

You owe it to yourself, to make your days here count..

You are.........

         You are Strong......when you take your grief and teach it
to smile. 

You are Brave......when you over come your fears
and help others to do the same.

             You are Happy......when you see a flower and are thankful
for the blessing.

              You are Loving......when your own pain does not blind you
to pain of others.

               You are Wise......when you know the limit of your wisdom.
 

You are True......when you admit there are times
you fool yourself.

         You are Alive......when tomorrow's hope means more
to you then yesterday;s mistakes.

       You are Growing......when you know what you are
but not what you will become.

        You are Free......when you are in control of yourself
and do not wish to control others.

    You are Honorable....when you find your honor is
to find honor in others.

      You are generous....when you can take as sweetly
as you can give.

  You are Humble....when you do not know how
humble you are.

            You are Thoughtfull....when you see me as just as i am
and treat me just you are.

              You are mercifull....when you forgive in others the faults
condemn in yourself.

You are Beautiful.....when you do not need a
mirror to tell you.

   You are Rich....when you never need more then
what you have.

You are YOU...when you are at peace with
who you are not.

Live for Now!!

There are two days in every week that we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
 

One is yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the power in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed nor can we erase a single word we've said for yesterday is gone!

The other day we shouldn't worry about is tomorrow with its impossible adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance.

Tomorrow is beyond our control and tomorrow's sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, however it will rise and until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow for it is yet unborn.

This leaves only one day - today.

Any person can fight the battles of just one day, it is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people to despair, it is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. 

 


So therefore . . . Live and enjoy one day at a time and that day is today.

ONE!!

One star can guide a ship at sea..
One heart can know what is true...
One flower can wake the dream...
One tree can start a forest...
One bird can herald spring...
One smile begins a friendship...
One laugh will conquer gloom...
One vote can change a nation...
One handclasp lifts a soul...
One word can frame the goal...
One word must start a prayer...
One sunbeam lights a room...
One candle wipes out darkness..
One hope will raise our spirits...
One step must start each journey..

Two Wolves Within Us!!

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that


goes on inside people.



He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves inside us all."



"One is Evil.


It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,


self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."



"The other is Good.


It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,


benevolence, empathy, gene


rosity, truth,


compassion and faith."



The grandson thought about it for a minute and


then asked his grandfather Which wolf wins?



The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
