Go for long walks,
Indulge in hot baths,
Question your assumptions,
Be kind to yourself,
Live for the moment,
Loosen up, SCREAM,
Curse the world,
Count your blessings,
Just let go,
Just be.

Advice from a Tree
Dear Friend,
Stand Tall and Proud
Sink your roots deeply into the Earth
Reflect the light of a greater source
Think long term
Go out on a limb
Remember your place among all living beings
Embrace with joy the changing seasons
For each yields its own abundance
The Energy and Birth of Spring
The Growth and Contentment of Summer
The Wisdom to let go of leaves in the Fall
The Rest and Quiet Renewal of Winter
Why Complicate Life?
Missing somebody?…………….Call
Wanna meet up?………………..Invite
Wanna be understood?………Explain
Have questions?…………………Ask
Don’t like something?………..Say it
Like something?…………………State it
Want something?……………….Ask for it
Love someone?………………….Tell it
We just have one life.
Keep It Simple.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
~Mark Twain
How We Die
“All of this makes more precious each hour of those we have been given; it demands that life must be useful and rewarding. If by our work and pleasure, our triumphs and our failures, each of us is contributing to an evolving process of continuity not only of our species but of the entire balance of nature, the dignity we create in the time allotted to us becomes a continuum with the dignity we achieve by the altruism of accepting the necessity of death.
Never go to sleep angry.
Never go to sleep angry. Because you never know if you or the person you’re mad at will wake up the next morning. Always forgive someone. Because you never know if you’ll talk to them again. Things happen. Get over it. Always forgive. You may not forget. But it’s better than knowing you’ll never get to say sorry or I love you again.
~Unknown
Follow Your Bliss
“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”
Follow Your Heart
“.. almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
Life is too short
to wake up in the morning with regrets.
So, love the people who treat you right,
forgive the ones who don’t and
believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised
IT WOULD BE WORTH IT!
Bridging the Gap
The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change.. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl.. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.
