Quotes
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance
to draw back, always ineffectiveness, concerning all acts of initiative
(and Creation). There is one elementary truth the ignorance of
which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment
one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All
sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have
occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising
in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings
and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would
have come their way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin
it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin
it now.
~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, “Who am I to brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we’re liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
~Marianne Williamson
Take full account of what excellencies which
you possess,
And in gratitude remember how you would hanker after them , if you
had them not.
~Marcus Aurelius
Cherish your visions and your dreams as
they are the children of your soul;
The blue prints of your ultimate accomplishments.
~Napoleon Hill
The great discovery of my generation is
that man can alter his life
Simply by altering his attitude of mind.
~William James
To laugh often and much; to win the respect
of intelligent people and the
Affection of children... to leave the world a better place…
to know even
One life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Invision what you want to happen and let
the universe work out the details.
~Judith James
Look no further than yourself. Your power
was with you all along.
~Glenda the Good Witch (Wizard of Oz)
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor
the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual
inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else
believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
So then, to every man his chance…
to every man, regardless of his birth, his shinning golden opportunity…
to every man his right to live, to work, to be himself, to become
whatever his manhood and his vision can combine to make him…
This, seeker, is the promise of America.
~Thomas Wolfe
The more virtuous any man is, the less easily
does he suspect others to be vicious.
~Cicero
The road to happiness lies in two simple
principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can
do well, and when you find it, put your whole soul into it…every
bit of energy and ambition.
~John D Rockefeller III
Every man’s work, whether it be literature
or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always
a portrait of himself.
~Samuel Butler
Each day I live, I want to be
A day to give the best of me
I’m only one, but not alone
My finest day is yet unknown
I broke my heart for every gain
To taste the sweet, I faced the pain
I rise and fall, yet through it all , this much remains
I want one moment in time
When I’m more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I’m racing with destiny
Then in that one moment on time
I will feel, I will feel eternity
I’ve lived to be the very best
I want it all, no time for less
I’ve laid my plans,
Now, lay the chance here in my hands
Give me one moment in time
When I’m more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I’m racing with destiny
Then in that one moment on time
I will feel, I will feel eternity
You’re a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that moment in time, make it shine
Give me one moment in time
When I’m more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I’m racing with destiny
Then in that one moment on time
I will feel, I will feel eternity
~Whitney Houston
Poetry
My tears
Of letting go of my past
What is known – felt
And moving forward
Into that archetypal world
From whence I came
And which
I have always known
I step tentatively upon
The shore of Power, Courage and Passion
To be here and express
That eons old pattern
That has pulled me forward
From before the birth
I shall not fail—
As it is my Destiny
~Judith James
Out beyond the ideas of right and wrong-doing
There is a field…I’ll meet you there
~Jelaluddin Rumi
Appreciation
Like a Butterfly Kiss
Is
Magical
~Judith James
This above all
To thine own self be true
And it must follow
As the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man
~William Shakespeare
Inside a Cocoon
Of my own making
I cast off
This worms outer shell
To emerge beautiful
With wings to fly
I now search
Only for
Love and nourishment
~Judith James
You don’t need time
To be who you are
~Judith James
Perhaps love
Is the process of
Me leading you back
To your Self
~Unknown
When you realize Self
You release fear & limitation
The more Self you have
The less deceit you need
The more Self you have
The less manipulation you use
The more Self you have
The less armor you need
~Linda Lombardo
My Spirit
Like a spring sprite
Floating through
Endless fields of flowers
Doth disdain
Being captured, imprisoned
In so beautiful
Yet, limited form
What were the god’s thinking
In this confining act of creativity
Let the soul soar
On it’s mission
Filling this form with Light brilliance
So that all can recognize
Their Self same fire
The Power to create worlds
~Judith James
You are here
To enable the Divine Purpose
Of the Universe to unfold
That…is how important you are
~Eckhart Tolle
"And what is it to work with love?
It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart
even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.
It is to build a house with affection even as if your beloved were
to dwell in that house.
It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest
with joy even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit.
It is to charge all things you fashion with the breath of your own
spirit...
~Kahlil Gibran
