QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
~Albert Einstein
THOUGHT OF THE DAY
I believe- that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I believe- that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I believe- that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. I believe- that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I believe- that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I believe- that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I believe- that you can keep going long after you can't. I believe- that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. I believe- that either you control your attitude or it controls you. I believe- that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. I believe- That money is a lousy way of keeping score. I believe- that my best friend and I can do anything Or nothing and have the best time. I believe- that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up. I believe- that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. I believe- that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. I believe- that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. I believe- that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I believe- that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. I believe- that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. I believe- that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do. I believe- that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a Secret. It could change your life forever. I believe- that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I believe- that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people you don't even know. I believe- that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you will find the strength to help. I believe- that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being. I believe- that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
POEM FOR THE DAY
You ask me who I am I will tell you
I am the one who has walked here before
and I am the one who will walk here after
You ask me who I am I will tell you
I am the ancient ones of olde
And I am the ones yet to come
You ask me who I am I will tell you
I am the mother Earth, I am the goddess
I am the Father sun, I am the great hunter
You ask me who I am I will tell you
I am you and you are me
We are all children of the Divine
You ask me who I am I will tell you
I am your son, daughter, father and mother
I am your brother, sister, neighbor and friend
You ask me what I am I will tell you
I am earth, fire, air, water and spirit
I am a perfect balance of nature within
You ask me what I am I will tell you
I am the trees and the sky
I am the rivers and the ground beneath your feet
You ask me what I am and I will tell you
I am not evil and I do not worship satan
I am not to be feared I am not what you think
You ask me what I am and I will tell you
I am a teacher, leader, and healer
I am part of the wheel of life
You ask me what I am and I will tell you
I am Me and I walk the path less traveled
I am Me and I am PROUD
