Reflections

I was just sitting at my desk reflecting on what it is that I am constantly searching for in my pursuit of life’s happiness. What rewards do I long for and what path in life do I follow to get there. Then I thought about some of the quotes that I often turn to when I need to lift myself up or find inspiration to accomplish a task that I have taken on. That is when I realized that I already have the rewards that I am looking for in life and that is the Love that I get from my wife, family, and friends, and yes the Lord and Savior. All other things in life that I seek are just material things that I really do not need but rather just desire to have. Take a few minutes to read through the following famous quotes and see if they inspire you too.

Quote of the Day: "Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to." -- Greg Anderson

Quote of the Day: "It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity." -- Horace


Quote of the Day: "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which, in prosperous circumstances, would have lain dormant." -- Horace

Quote of the Day: "Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it." -- Horace

Quote of the Day: "Nine-tenths of wisdom is appreciation. Go find somebody's hand and squeeze it, while there's time." -- Dale Dauten

Quote of the Day: "Forget the resolutions. Forget control and discipline...too much work. Instead try experimenting. Go in search of something to fall in love with...something about yourself, your career, your spouse." -- Dale Dauten


Quote of the Day: "Never talk defeat. Use words like hope, belief, faith, victory." -- Norman Vincent Peale


Quote of the Day: "...if the next generation is to face the future with zest and self-confidence, we must educate them to be original as well as competent." -- Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Quote of the Day: "Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities--that's training or instruction--but is rather a making visible what is hidden as a seed... To be educated, a person doesn't have to know much or be informed, but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life... One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated." -- Thomas Moore

Quote of the Day: "The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have." -- Norman Vincent Peale

Quote of the Day: "I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness or abilities that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." -- William Penn

Quote of the Day: "When you become detached mentally from yourself and concentrate on helping other people with their difficulties, you will be able to cope with your own more effectively. Somehow, the act of self-giving is a personal power-releasing factor." -- Norman Vincent Peale

Finally the one that I find most inspiring in the search to improve my own life and my pursuit of the right path of life to follow is found in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson;

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us”---Ralph Waldo Emerson on Perseverance.

Have A Great Life!!
