Quote of the Day: April 8, 2013

it may be a girl or a boy
a new car or a shiny toy
it may be a colourful balloon
or even your favourite cartoon
but if you place your joy
in something so trite & transitory
and bereft of meaning to the soul
your happiness will be unfounded
left incomplete and never quite whole

true happiness
comes from within
so do the work
to find inside
what it is
that makes your soul smile
and your heart sing

no one and no thing
should define
your state of mind
let them simply enhance it
and let the real you shine

Quote of the Day: April 4, 2013

never give up
this is who you are
you had the dream
it's yours to redeem!

yes
it will take longer than planned
horrendous hurdles will come into play
there will be countless delays
all along your way
passers-by will stop and say
good luck! stil at it, eh?

but, you know.

passion, persistance and resilience
build respect
respect creates attention
attention expands connections
connections spawn new networks
new modalities creating new opportunities
unavailable to the uninspired

and then the crowd will declare,
whoa, what luck!
you'll shrug and say, maybe.
but you'll know,
it all comes down to
commitment and time

don't hesitate
it's never too late

Quote of the Day: April 3, 2013

change starts within
make a difference
inside your own self first

love yourself
heal yourself

only you can control you
and only they can control them,
but with inspired vision
a change can begin

"your wounds are your wisdom.
let them heal.
let them scar"

they make you who you are

Quote of the Day: April 2, 2013

there comes a time
when you know enough
to do what you gotta do
yet you resist, you decline
in the guise of
"more wisdom is needed!
before i could ever proceed"

but deep down you know
it's all up to you
and you can't fool
what your heart knows to be true

so how long will you wait?
for some, it's already far too late

take a deep breath
and become
that which you've been yearning

Quote of the Day: March 29, 2013

we are each
a universe unto ourselves
inside each of us
awaits infinite possibilities

we must spur upon us our awakening!
decrepit excuses, no more!

we must discard diatribes of old
ascend to our true great potential
and see the true nature of our being

and whence we do
new worlds shall be realized inside
time immortalized
by our endless energy
eternalized

this,
a conscious realization
of our life essence,
aware.

Quote of the Day: March 28, 2013

deep down
i think we all know
what it is what we have to do
to go where we wanna go
to be who we wanna be

but most don't listen
we refuse to hear
the call, that beckon
from our heart's true content

we ask for directions
and raise a fist in contempt
yet we fool ourselves
by believing our own folly
awaiting a simpler
less brambled path

but if we do the math
the answers become clear
our deepest desires
have always been right here
we've known it all along
they're right where they belong
deny them no more
let your soul sing its song
