Vision stands on the shoulders of what is actual to get a better view of what is possible.
Dare to dream of your great success. Become intimate with those things which deeply motivate you and regularly work toward the realization of that mission.
Even from the darkest night songs of beauty can be born.
Your responsibility is to be an explorer, not a tourist in this adventure that is your life.
Live as if this is all there is.
Today is a gift I honor by fully living it.
I will not be governed by the tyranny of immediacy.
Weariness comes, on some days, from lack of service to self.
In the garden of your days cultivate festivity, play and celebrations.
My husband melted my heart the day he asked me, "Can I participate in your wonder?" In whose wonder do you get to participate today?
Just another cold, misty morning inviting, "want to go again?"
I will dance a little. I will move with the wind. I will give my body to my love and celebrate that we have substance beyond the idea of ourselves. We can move. We can touch. This is my physical exclamation point. This is how I can awaken my mind to the possibilities in the day.
Change of any sort requires courage.
Acknowledgment, award, appreciation.
Take a deep breath and do the difficult thing first.
Great leadership is not the visit of an unexpected fate but rather a flame which is kept burning in spite of the winds of risk and opposition.
Wonder what opportunities you pass, unwittingly, because your hands are so busy clasping what you think you have always known.
In spite of unseasonable wind, snow and unexpected weather of all sorts - a gardener still plants. And tends what they have planted. . . believing that Spring will come.
The opportunity for greater courage comes in the most ordinary of moments.
Today. . . maybe I can take one step on that profoundly complex path to peace.
