Thought is the wind, knowledge the sail, and mankind the vessel. -Augustus Hare
A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself. -James Allen
From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life. -Arthur Ashe
The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering. -Ben Okri

There are two wolves in you... one who is kind and nice and caring; the other who is mean and jealous and callous.
Which wolf grows in you?
The one you feed.

Time for another dose of positive inspiration. I really like the wolf analogy and the garden analogy too Warrior Woman, it's so very true.

“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” ? C.S. Lewis
"You think you’re not pretty. There’s always someone uglier. You want more money. People are in poverty. You want a boyfriend. Someone doesn’t even have parents. You’re hungry. A child is starving. You want to go to the mall. Someone is looking for anything they can wear just to stay warm. You’re chilly. Others are frozen. You just want to die. Most people want to live. So don’t waste your time on things that you think you want because there is always someone out there who needs it much more than you could ever possibly know." --- Unknown
"You’ve got to dance like there’s nobody watching. Love like you’ll never be hurt. Sing like there’s nobody listening. And live like it’s heaven on earth." – William W. Purkey
"This is your life. Do what you want and do it often. If you don’t like something, change it. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over-analysing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Life is simple. Open your heart, mind and arms to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Life is short, live your dream and wear your passion." --- Unknown

Time for another shot of positive reinforcement
When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. -Harriet Beecher Stowe
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. -Robert Louis Stevenson
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul. -Democritus
The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises. -Leo Buscaglia

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it.
Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.
Love the people who treat you right.
Pray for the ones who don't.
Life is too short to be anything but happy.
Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
