Birth was not our choice

Death will not be our choice

But the way we live our life is our choice.

Absolutely our choice.

Brains aren't designed to get results; they go in directions.

If you know how the brain works you can set your own directions.

If you don't, then someone else will.

- Richard Wayne Bandler "All life is a chance. So take it!

The person who goes furthest is the one

who is willing to do and dare."

- Dale Carnegie You can never change the past but you can change the future How do I change?

If I feel depressed I will sing.

If I feel sad I will laugh.

If I feel ill I will double my labour.

If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.

If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.

If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.

If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.

If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.

If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.

Today I will be the master of my emotions. Let go Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday It is not yours to judge Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love?

Life is ten percent of what happens to me,

and ninety percent of how I react to it.

Charles Swindoll

George Sand: Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.

Joan Baez

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Life is a grindstone. But whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.

--L. Thomas Holdcroft

Life isn't about finding yourself.... Life is about creating yourself

George Bernard Shaw

I've looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all.

Jodi Mitchell

For it is Life, the very Life of Life.

In its brief course lie all the

Verities and Realities of your Existence.

The Bliss of Growth,

The Glory of Action,

The Splendor of Beauty;

For Yesterday is but a Dream,

And To-morrow is only a Vision;

But To-day well lived makes

Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,

And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.

Look well therefore to this Day!

Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

Kalidasa

"One day you will ask me what I love more..you or my life

And when I say, "My life", you will walk away from me

without knowing that you are my life"

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

and things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal;

Dust thou art; to dust returnest,

Was not spoken of the soul.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"To be alive, to be able to see, to walk...it's all a miracle. I have adapted the technique of living life from miracle to miracle."

-Arthur Rubenstein

"Many of life's failures are people who did

not realize how close they were to

success when they gave up."

- Thomas Edison

Life's journey is not to arrive safely at our grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn-out shouting, "Holy Smoke!!! What a ride!!!

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow.

Learn as if you were to live forever."

- by Mahatma Gandhi

"Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An

occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind,

but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new

vantage point." *Harold B. Melchart
