"Notice how successful athletes 'psych themselves' up. They don't talk down to themselves. They tell themselves they can do it. They visualize a positive outcome. Whether running a marathon, sprinting to the finish, skating the 500 meter, the athlete sees the positive and moves forward to meet the challenge. The winner overcomes the distance with a better time and wins.
Would it be easier to do this if one was being negative?
I think the answer is clear."

"As humanity's knowledge of life unfolds, we observe that we are related to all beings on a root level through DNA. We are related to the plants and birds. We have in common the same DNA sequences as the roses we bring to our lover or the coffee tree that supplied our morning wake up call. The genome of a chimp is 98% identical with that of a human being. The emerald green slug (Elysia chloritica) eats a type of algea (Vaucheria littorea) and thereby is able to become solar powered through the harnessing photosynthesis. As you walk through the park, the jungle, by the river or on the beach, all the creatures you encounter share some part of yourself and you share some part of them."

"I am part of the wonderful tapestry of life as it is part of me. I walk with joyful awareness of this truth giving thanks for the creatures that nurture and nourish me, both plants and animals. I am my fellow's keeper."

"If you live to be 95 years old, then you will experience 34,675 days of life. Over the next five years, you will experience 1825 days. Each day, morning will come and at some point you will rise from sleep. What is getting you out of bed? Why are you getting up when you do? Are YOU choosing when you get up? Are YOU making the choice about your first conscious moments? Or is the time that you rise dictated by someone or something else? Perhaps it is time to begin the day with an affirmation, followed by meditation, then your bath and then your prayers."
Affirmation:
"Awakening into consciousness, my mind is set in motion. I give my mind direction under my own volition. I choose strength, character and thus my actions are divinely guided to success."

As an adult, we can choose to learn how to love and be loved in ways that are understandable to our mates and to ourselves. Love cannot be compelled, nor can it be suppressed. Love is the glue of the universe. Love is that which is deepest and most noble."~A'lan

Far beyond delusive thinking, they attain complete nirvana."~The Heart Sutra

" Jun[20] = ""Love’s way of dealing with us is different from conscience’s way. Conscience commands; love inspires. What we do out of love, we do because we want to do it. Love is, indeed, one kind of desire; but it is a kind that takes us out of ourselves and carries us beyond ourselves, in contrast to the kind that is self-seeking—a kind that includes the desire for the “extinguishedness” of Nirvana. Love is freedom; conscience is constraint; yet, in two points, our relation to love is the same as our relation to conscience. We are free to reject love’s appeal, as we are free to reject conscience’s command; yet love, like conscience, cannot be rebuffed with impunity. Rebuffed, love will continue to importune us; and this for the reason for which a violated conscience does. Love’s authority, like conscience’s, is absolute. Like conscience, too, love needs no authentication or validation by any authority outside itself. Speculations about love’s credentials, or lack of credentials, cannot either enhance or diminish love’s absoluteness."~Arnold Toynbee

" Jun[27] = ""To love is not a passive thing. To love is active voice. When I love I do something, I function, I give.

" Jul[3] = ""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 be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and 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... As we let our light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others."~New Thought minister Marianne Williamson, quoted by Nelson Mandella in his 1994 inaugural address as President of South Africa.
