One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that was going on inside himself.
He said, "My son, it is between 2 wolves.
One is evil:
Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego...
The other is good:
Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith..."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied,
"The one I feed."

Don't die with your music still inside you
Dr. Wayne Dryer
Trust your instincts, they are never wrong, but don't confuse that with your emotions, they are frequently wrong
My Mentor
If you can conceive of a thing, you can be that thing, no matter how lofty the aspiration. Otherwise their would be no purpose for the dream to begin with.
It is better to have others believe you are a idiot, than to open your mouth & remove all doubt.
Again my mentor
It is none of your business what others think of you
Whether you think you can or think you can't, either way you are right - Henry Ford
All that we are is the result of what we have thought - Budda
As a man thinketh, so he is - Christ
If you change your mind, you change your world

Well, to be Silly, I could say, "Do unto Others Befor they Undo You".
I'll give you some thing to do for Inspiration:
Get up in the Morning, right after the sun Rises and Keep on Watching, there will be a Moment (not quite one minute) of Time when the Whole Sky Lights Up (Laws of Physics) and if there are alot of Clouds, some very Beautiful Colors will Appear.
Down in Florida, they do the Oppsite, with the SunSets! Then they Clap when it is over (or used to).

When he has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. Job 23:10
You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others.
If you don't have enough time for your family, you can be 100 percent certain you are not following God's will for your life.
Patrick M Morley
The heart has reasons which reason cannot understand.
Blaise Pascal
Yea, though I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.

This is a very well known poem so you might already know it...
by MARY STEVENSON..
"FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND"
One night a man had a dream, he dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life, for each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed at many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord you said that once i decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way, but i have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when i needed you most you would leave me".
The Lord replied:
"My son my precious child,
I love you and i would never leave you.
During your times of trials and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that i carried you"
I also like this proverb:
When the pupils ready,
the teacher will appear....

1. What is done is done and could not have been done in any other way. (In other words, FORGET THE PAST and live for tomorrow!)
2. One man's treasure is another man's trash.
3. What you don't know, honestly, cannot hurt you. It is only till you know that the pain begins.
4. A pessimist is never disappointed.
