For Your Consideration...Buddha

I've been reading quotes today, and I came across this one from Buddha. I like it a lot, and thought I would share it with you.

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

Big Happy Buddha

Every day, I get a quote from Big Happy Buddha. The one I got today was really good, so I thought I would share it with you:

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly."

---Buddha---

For your consideration

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God; your playing small doesn't serve the world."

For your consideration (Gide)

It is easier to lead men to combat, stirring up their passion, that to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace.

---Andre Gide---

Sand and Foam

Sand and Foam

"I am forever walking upon these shores

Betwixt the Sand and the Foam

The high tide will erase my footprints

And the wind will blow away the foam

But the sea and the shore will remain forever"

---Kahlil Gilbran---

(I took this picture on the black sand beach in Hawaii...mine and Nicol's footprints.)

For your consideration (Bhagavad Gita)

"It's better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection."

---The Bhagavad Gita---

For your consideration (Einstein)

"Imagination is everything! It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

---Albert Einstein---

For your consideration (unknown)

"Tension is what you think you should be. Relaxation is what you are." ---Unknown---

For your consideration

"Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night."
