When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

Every moment spent in negativity is paid for with something truly priceless. That something is life.

Feelings are determined by how one chooses to respond to various situations and events.

Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force.

Don't waste time on excuses. Just get it done.

What you are longing for is longing for you.

The best way to handle good fortune is to do something positive and useful with it. The best way to handle misfortune is exactly the same.
