Friends - five thought-provoking quotes on this...
"Live each day as if it's your last', that was the conventional advice, but really, who had the energy for that? What if it rained or you felt a bit dull? It just wasn't practical. Better by far to be good and courageous and bold and to make difference. Not change the world exactly, but the bit around you. Cherish your friends, stay true to your principles, live passionately and fully and well. Experience new things. Love and be loved, if you ever get the chance."
"It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important.
You have to do the right thing.
It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there will be any fruit.
But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing.
You may never know what results come from your action.
But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
Keep your thoughts positive because your
thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive because your
words become your behavior.
Keep your behavior positive because your
behavior becomes your habits.
Keep your habits positive because your
habits become your values.
Keep your values positive because your
values become your destiny.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him.
If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
Meditate.
Live purely. Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon, come out
from behind the clouds!
and... Shine"
