"Man cannot do right in one department of life whilst he is occupied in
doing wrong in any other department. Life is one indivisble whole." -Mohandas Gandhi
"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, fabulous'? Actually, who are you not
to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is
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 is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let
our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Marianne Williamson
"Think of life as a game. But, there are no timeouts, and no subsitutions.
And, the clock is always running. Life is not a dress rehearsal. Life is
not a drill. This IS it! Live life to the fullest! Make every moment count!"
-Paraphrased from several sources
"Imagine there was a bank that at the stroke of midnight, it would credit
your account with $86,400. The money would be yours to spend however you
like. The only 'drawback' is that you could not accumulate the money.
The bank does not allow you to carry any balance. Any money unspent would
disappear, and your account would be set to $86,400 at the next stroke of
midnight. Further, the bank does not allow you to have an overdraft.
Well, this bank really exists! And, you already have an account there!
It is called LIFE. At midnight, you are given 86,400 seconds in the
upcoming day to do whatever you like. You can spend your time doing
meaningful things, trivial things, or just wasting it. Every second matters.
