  ~ Paulo Coelho

• Words of wisdom from Jim Rohn

  Date: 2010.04.21 | Category: Quotes | Response: 0

  What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of our life. Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish, we can start a new activity. Any day we wish, we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.

  We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform.

  And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence.

  The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed,”The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves.”

  We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today.

• Poem by a crabby old man

  Date: 2009.04.19 | Category: Quotes | Response: 0

  I have subscribed to a newsletter from http://philiphumbert.com a while ago. Mr Humbert sends a new letter every week with an inspiring and motivating content. Todays letter included a poem.
  An old man had died in a small hospital near Tampa, Florida, it was believed he had left of nothing value. Later, when the nurses went through his meager possessions, they found this poem. It so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.
  It’s since made its way into many publications and websites, and this old man, with apparently nothing left to give, is the author of a poem that is touching millions around the world. I hope you enjoy it!

  Crabby Old Man

  What do you see nurses? What do you see? What are you thinking when you’re looking at me? A crabby old man, not very wise, uncertain of habit, with faraway eyes?

  Who dribbles his food and makes no reply when you say in a loud voice, “I do wish you’d try!” Who seems not to notice the things that you do, and forever is losing a sock or a shoe?

  Who, resisting or not, lets you do as you will, with bathing and feeding, the long day to fill? Is that what you’re thinking? Is that what you see? Then open your eyes, nurse, you’re not looking at me.

  I’ll tell you who I am as I sit here so still, as I do at your bidding, as I eat at your will. I’m a small child of ten, with a father and mother, brothers and sisters, who love one another

  A young boy of sixteen with wings on his feet, dreaming that soon now, a lover he’ll meet. A groom soon at twenty, my heart gives a leap, remembering the vows that I promised to keep.

  At twenty-five now, I have young of my own, who need me to guide, and a secure happy home. A man of thirty, my young now grow fast, bound to each other with ties that should last.

  At forty, my young sons have grown and are gone, but my woman’s beside me, to see I don’t mourn.

  At fifty, once more, babies play ’round my knee. Again we know children, my loved ones and me.

  Dark days are upon me, my wife is now dead, as I look at the future, I shudder with dread. For my young are all rearing the young of their own, and I think of the years, and the love that I’ve known.

  I’m an old man now and nature is cruel, ’tis jest to make old age look like a fool. The body, it crumbles, grace and vigor depart, there now is a stone, where I once had a heart.

  But inside this old carcass, a young man still dwells, and now and again, my battered heart swells. I remember the joys, I remember the pain, and I’m loving and living, life over again.

  I think of my years, all too few, gone too fast, and accept the stark fact that nothing can last.

  So open your eyes, folks, open and see, not a crabby old man, look closer. See ME!!

  Remember this poem when you next meet someone who’s frail, who’s tired and weak. You might brush aside without looking too deep, at their young soul within, the life that they’ve lived, the desires of their hearts and the power of their dreams.

• Albert Einstein Quote

  Date: 2009.01.19 | Category: Quotes | Response: 0

  The enlightening words of the great physicist and Nobel Prize winner, Albert Einstein (1879-1955):

  “A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the ‘Universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.”

  A reggae singing lady called ~Neffi-I~ wrote these words of wisdom to me.

  “You will never accrue the wealth, experience the success, do the things you really want to do as long as you worry about it.
  Chances are you are thinking in terms of what you do not have and cannot do.
  Your good cannot get to you if your mind is filled with lack.
  You have no room for blessings if your words are laced with limitations. You will not notice or be open to new experiences if you are stuck in the old ones.
  What you want may be totally new to you. It may be way beyond your highest expectations. How can it get to you if you keep getting in the way?
  It’s time for you to move, realizing that the thing you are seeking is also seeking you. If not, you wouldn’t want it!
  That is the law of compensation, what you give out will be returned to you.
  Get rid of your bad thoughts, inferior attitudes and limited behaviors and good will be attracted to you.
  It’s not easy. It’s not magic. But it works, miraculously.”

  There are many people in the world teaching this wisdom but in different package. Anyone heard of The Secret? This is the same principle but Rhonda Byrnes call it The Law of Attraction. There are multiple coaches, spiritual leaders and even psychologists that teaches this message.

  In clinical psychology scientist have quite recently come to understand that our brain learns what we think and makes our usual thoughts go faster. So fast that we don’t even react on what we are thinking. The neurons transfer thougts in small paths, and the more we think the same thougt, the bigger the path grows. So you could say we like to have the same thoughts “as usual”. The backside is, that we prefer to have the same thoughts even if theese thoughts makes us feel stressed, depressed or just sad. So if we want to be happier and feel bether we need new thoughts that makes new paths. The more we think our happy thoughts the happier we get.
  As Neffi-I said above; it’s not easy, it’s not magic. But it works, miraculously.

  So… Don’t worry, be happy! Be grateful for what you have and for who you are. Be limitless. Welcome change and look for the possibilities.
  As Winston Churchill said: The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

  It does’nt matter if you think you can or that you can’t. Eighter way you’re wright!

  You can.

• Gratitude

  Date: 2008.10.01 | Category: Quotes | Response: 0

  Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
  It turns what we have into enough, and more.
  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
  Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

  ~Melody Beattie

  “Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.”

  “If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there’d be peace.”

  “If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal.”

  “We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.”

  “Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn’t insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.”

  “Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow.”

  “Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.”
