No matter how strong or clever,
Some one will sneer if you pause to hear,

There are those who will never admit it.
- Ella Wheeler Wilcox

- Hilary Clinton

Don't aim at success.
The more you aim at it and make it a target,

the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication
to a cause greater than oneself.
- Viktor E. Frankl

Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.

is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.

Our only path to happiness lies in being open
to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

When we come into the present,
we begin to feel the life around us again,

our pain, our desires, our grief,
our loss, our secret hopes our love -
everything that moves us most deeply.
- Jack Kornfield

Important ideas can come from unexpected places.
We tend to label people - Genius, Idiot,

It is equally important to avoid accepting any idea
merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

for people will hear them and be influenced
by them for good or ill.

and take action on those choices - Today.
