~ Living in an age of advertisement, we are perpetually disillusioned. The perfect life is spread before us every day, but it changes and withers at a touch. ~ ~ Fearlessness comes with the birth of this new understanding: The only reason life changes as it does is to reveal the secret Goodness underlying those same changes. ~ ~ The only thing worried thoughts have the power to change is what the next thing will be for you to worry over! ~ ~ The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance. ~ ~ The quickest way to change your attitude toward pain is to accept the fact that everything that happens to us has been designed for our spiritual growth. ~ ~ If you're not making mistakes, you're not taking risks, and that means you're not going anywhere. The key is to make mistakes faster than the competition, so you have more changes to learn and win. ~ ~ Today we're seeing that climate change is about more than a few unseasonably mild winters or hot summers. It's about the chain of natural catastrophes and devastating weather patterns that global warming is beginning to set off around the world.. the frequency and intensity of which are breaking records thousands of years old. ~ ~ All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster. ~ ~ Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to find intellectual capital - the world's best talents and greatest ideas. ~ ~ That is the happiest conversation where there is no competition, no vanity, but a calm, quiet interchange of sentiments ~ ~ Boredom is the keynote of poverty -- of all its indignities, it is perhaps the hardest of all to live with -- for where there is no money there is no change of any kind. ~ ~ It's how we spend our time here and now, that really matters. If you are fed up with the way you have come to interact with time, change it. ~ ~ People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing. A leader's job is to help people have vision of their potential. ~ ~ We have a powerful potential in our youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends. ~ ~ When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change. ~ ~ The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer. ~ ~ To get away from one's working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one's self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change. ~ ~ Early in life, I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose honest arrogance and have seen no occasion to change. ~ ~ It's the most unhappy people who most fear change. ~ ~ All change is not growth as all movement is not forward. ~ ~ Nothing contributes to the entertainment of the reader more, than the change of times and the vicissitudes of fortune. ~ ~ Hip-hop is supposed to uplift and create, to educate people on a larger level and to make a change. ~ ~ I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself? ~ ~ We perceive and are affected by changes too subtle to be described. ~ ~ Behind all creation is silence. Silence is the essential condition, the vital ingredient for all creation and all that is created. It is a power in its own right. The artist starts with a blank canvas - silence. The composer places it between and behind the notes. The very ground of your being, out of which comes all your thoughts, is silence. The way to silence is through meditation. When you arrive in your own silence you will know true freedom and real power. Stop, take a minute, and listen to the silence within you today. Then be aware of what disturbs your inner silence. It could be negative thoughts, memories, sensations. And when you are aware, you will know what is draining your creative power, and you will know what needs to change...on the inside! ~ ~ No great movement designed to change the world can bear to be laughed at or belittled. Mockery is a rust that corrodes all it touches. ~ ~ Swinging at daisies is like playing electric guitar with a tennis racket: if it were that easy, we could all be Jerry Garcia. The ball changes everything. ~ ~ For that is our unyielding faith - that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it. ~ ~ Love is an attempt to change a piece of a dream-world into reality ~ ~ If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only. Do not say, I love her for her smile . . . her look . . . her way Of speaking gently
. . . for a trick of thought That falls in well with mine, and, certes, brought A sense of pleasant ease on such a day- For these things in themselves, Beloved, may be changed, or change for thee- and love so wrought, May be unwrought so. ~ |
