Control your destiny

I believe that you control your destiny
That you can be what you want to be
You can also stop and say, No
I won’t do it
I won’t behave his way anymore
I’m lonely and I need people around me,
Maybe I have to change my methods of behaving
And then you do it

Leo Buscaglia Quotes

We must look for ways
To be an active force in our own lives
We must take charge of our own destinies
Design a life of substance
And truly begin to live our dreams.

Les Brown Quotes

Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler
Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing
It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say “no.”
I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions
I only know that it is irresistible.

Aleister Crowley Quotes

Thoughts lead on to purposes
Purposes go forth in action
Actions form habits
Habits decide character
And character fixes our destiny.

Tryon Edwards Quotes

Who knows what true loneliness is ?

Only in a house
Where one has learnt to be lonely
Does one have this solicitude for things
One’s relation to them
The daily seeing or touching
Begins to become love
And to lay one open to pain.

Elizabeth Bowen Quotes

young beautiful girl on a black background photo

A lonely man is
A lonesome thing
A stone
A bone
A stick
A receptacle for Gilbey’s gin
A stooped figure
Sitting at the edge of a hotel bed
Heaving copious sighs
Like the autumn wind

John Cheever Quotes

Attractive man on white sheet. Isolated. photo

Who knows what true loneliness is
Not the conventional word
But the naked terror?
To the lonely themselves it wears a mask
The most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion
Now and then a fatal conjunction
Of events may lift the veil for an instant
For an instant only
No human being could bear a steady view
Of moral solitude
Without going mad.

Joseph Conrad Quotes

A  bald male holds the back of his head. Over a black background. photo

What torments my soul is its loneliness
The more it expands among friends
And the daily habits or pleasures
The more
It seems to me
It flees me and retires into its fortress
The poet who lives in solitude
But who produces much
Is the one who enjoys those treasures
We bear in our bosom
But which forsake us when we give ourselves to others
When one yields oneself completely to one’s soul
It opens itself to one
And then it is that the capricious thing a
Allows one the greatest of good fortunes…
That of sympathizing with others
Of studying itself
Of painting itself constantly in its works

Eugene Delacroix Quotes

Young beatiful woman meditating in a sea  photo

A mind at peace…

Photograph of a beatiful woman in a sarong meditating on the beach in Hawaii photo

When one is rising
Standing
Walking
Doing something
Stopping
One should constantly concentrate one’s mind on the act
And the doing of it
Not one ones’ relation to the act or its character or value…
One should simply practice concentration of the mind on the act itself
Understanding it to be an expedient
Means for attaining tranquility of mind
Realization, insight, and wisdom.

Bhikshu Ashvaghosha Quotes

Small humain silhouette face to the immensity : pryer and meditation photo

When we believe that God is Father
We also believe that such a father’s hand
Will never cause his child a needless tear
We may not understand life any better
But we will not resent life any longer.

William Barclay Quotes

Silhouette of a beatiful woman meditating on a rock by the sea photo

For those who wish to climb the mountain of spiritual awareness
The path is selfless work
For those who have attained the summit of union
With the Lord
The path is stillness and peace.

Bhagavad Gita Quotes

Beautiful woman in white doing yoga outdoors with water reflection. photo

Peace does not dwell in outward things
But within the soul
We may preserve it in the midst of the bitterest pain
If our will remains firm and submissive
Peace in this life springs
From acquiescence to, not in an exemption from, suffering.

Francois de Salignac Fenelon Quotes

Trust in your preparation…

So much of our time
Is spent in preparation
So much in routine
And so much in retrospect
That the amount of each person’s genius
Is confined to a very few hours.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

Young student reading a book photo

Wherever we are
It is but a stage on the way to somewhere else
And whatever we do
However well we do it
It is only a preparation
To do something else that shall be different.

Robert Louis Stevenson Quotes

Portrait of a styled professional model. Theme: education, student, books, business, intellect. Shot in studio.  photo

Life is the only art
That we are required to practice
Without preparation
And without being allowed
The preliminary trials
The failures and botches
That are essential for training.

Lewis Mumford Quotes

Education is a social process
Education is growth
Education is, not a preparation for life
Education is life itself.

John Dewey Quotes

Young girl studying for graduation photo

Enjoy every new experience

There is a need
To find and sing
Our own song
To stretch
Our limbs
And shake them
In a dance
So wild that nothing can roost there
That stirs the yearning
For solitary voyage.

Barbara Lazear Ascher Quotes

The love for work
Needs to be re-enthroned
In our lives
Every family should have a plan
For work
That touches the life
Of each family member
So that this eternal principle
Will be ingrained
In their lives

M. Russell Ballard Quotes

I have had
More than half a century
Of such happiness
A great deal of worry and sorrow too
But never a worry or a sorrow
That was not offset by a purple iris
a lark
a bluebird
or a dewy morning glory

Mary McLeod Bethune Quotes

There is no evil angel but Love.

Life is given for wisdom, and yet we are not wise; for goodness, and we are not good; for overcoming evil, and evil remains; for patience and sympathy and love, and yet we are fretful and hard and weak and selfish. We are keyed not to attainment, but to the struggle toward it.~ Thornton T.Munger

What keeps me going is goals.

Decide what you want and write your goals. Then convert your goals into positive, present tense statements called affirmations. Affirm your goals each day until they become part of your subconscious mechanism.
