Nothing.
Are there
things you would like to change?
Of course.
The beauty
of right now is that
it gives you a place to start
and the
wisdom of knowing where to go.
There is
nothing wrong with right now.
It is a
magnificent point in time.
Any
problems you sense with this moment
are based
on your own interpretation.
Nothing is
wrong unless you choose to make it so.
Choose
instead to see and to live
the
rightness and the goodness of this moment.
Transcend the petty concerns
which have held you back in the past.
Free
yourself to live at your best.
Drink in
the beauty and energy of right now.
A world of possibilities stretches out in
front of you.
They all begin right now.
Life is already filled with abundance,
and right
now is your chance to make it.

Life,
he realize,
was much like a song.
In
the beginning there is mystery,
in the end there is confirmation,
but
it's in the middle
where
all the emotion resides
to
make the whole thing
worthwhile.
~ Nicholas Sparks
"I wanted
to change the world.
But I have found
that
the only thing
one can be sure of
changing is
oneself."
~~Aldous Huxley
“But if everything
was always smooth and perfect,
you'd get too used to that,
you know?
You have to have
a little bit of
disorganization
now and then.
Otherwise,
you'll never really enjoy it
when things go right.”
~ Sarah Dessen
How far you go
in life
depends on your
being
tender with the young,
Compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with
the struggling,
And tolerant of
the weak
and the strong
Because,
someday you will have
been all of these.

“The truth is,
unless you let go,
unless you forgive yourself,
unless you forgive the
situation,
unless you realize
that that situation is over,
you cannot move
forward.”
~ Steve Maraboli
Life will
break you.
Nobody can
protect you from
that, and
living alone won't either,
for solitude will also break you
with its yearning.
You have
to love.
You have
to feel.
It is the
reason you are here on earth.
You are
here to risk your heart.
You are
here to be swallowed up.
And when it happens that you are broken,
or
betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near,
let
yourself sit by an apple tree
and listen
to the apples
falling
all around you in heaps,
wasting their sweetness.
Tell
yourself you tasted
as many as
you could.
~ Louise Erdrich
