Thursday 13 - My 3rd

Thirteen good quotes:

1- "I am no more lonely than a single mullein or dandelion in a
pasture, or a bean leaf, or sorrel, or a horse-fly, or a bumblebee.
I am no more lonely than the Mill Brook, or a weathercock, or
the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a
January thaw, or the first spider in a new house."
-Henry David Thoreau, naturalist and author (1817-1862)

2- "Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. It is
not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs."
-- Vaclav Havel

3- "Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in
eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our
hand -- and melting like a snowflake." -- Marie Beyon Ray

4- "It is only possible to live happily ever after on a day to day
basis." -- Margaret Bonnano

5- "Every human action, whether it has become positive or
negative, must depend on motivation." -- Dalai Lama

6- "You are what you think. You are what you go for. You are what
you do!"-- Bob Richards

7- "A good intention clothes itself with power."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

8- "The key is to not resist or rebel against emotions or to try to get
around them by devising all sorts of tricks; but to accept them
directly, as they are." -- Takahisa Kora

9- "Emotions are energy in motion. They bring us information if we
are willing to experience them. Unfortunately, many of us are
afraid of the energy of emotions and so we automatically resist
them.And when we refuse to experience our emotions, we block
them up.They become trapped and that entrapment drains our
energy and brings continuing discomfort.

"Don't let emotions push you into action or reaction. Just STOP and
PAY ATTENTION. Allow them to be and to speak to you. Once they
are acknowledged, their energy is released.

"Instead of resisting any emotion, the best way to dispel it is to
enter it fully, embrace it and see through your resistance."
-- Deepak Chopra

10- "We have to become more conscious of our feeling-world. By
learning to identify the `emotional baggage' and manage our
feeling-world reactions, we can view life based on current
information instead of being held captive by our past."
-- Doc Childre

11- "Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge."
-- Audre Lorde

12- "When guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it and let it
go. The past is over. It is time to ask what can we do right, not
what did we do wrong. Forgive yourself and move on."
--Bernie S. Siegel

13- "If we don't forgive ourselves for our mistakes, and others for
the wounds they have inflicted upon us, we end up crippled with
guilt. And the soul cannot grow under a blanket of guilt, because
guilt is isolating,while growth is a gradual process of reconnection
to ourselves, to other people, and to a larger whole."
-- Joan Borysenko


And now, just for fun, and just for good measure, here is a French proverb:

"Light burdens borne far become heavy."
