“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.”
― Gilda Radner
Trust yourself. Create the kind of life you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into the flames of achievement.
~Foster C.McClellan
“Alright, the secret of happiness is simple: find out what you truly love to do and then direct all of your energy towards doing it. If you study the happiest, healthiest, most satisfied people of our world, you will see that each and every one of them has found their passion in life, and then spent their days pursuing it. This calling is almost always one that, in some way, serves others. Once you are concentrating your mind power and energy on a pursuit that you love, abundance flows into your life, and all your desires are fulfilled with ease and grace.”
~From the book “The Monk who sold his Ferrari”
Just saw this on a friend’s facebook page… what a great poster!
“This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don’t like something, change it. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once; seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Live your dream, and wear your passion. Life is short.”
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you learn to appreciate them when they’re right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself…and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” ~Marilyn Monroe
That’s right, I watched the horror movie at the theatre for the first time tonight. Yup, I sat through the entire movie “Scream 4“. For those who know me well, you know how much I hate anything “scary”. I can’t even go into those “cheesy” haunted houses at the amusement parks, not that I know whether its really cheesy or not since I have never been to one. If someone asked me what’s the scary movie I ever watched — I say “Green Miles” … so you get the picture. ^^
I couldn’t agree with Morgan Spurlock more. It’s definitely not easy to take risks but I learned how important it is to take a risk and grab the opportunity that comes on my way to move forward in life.
“We need to encourage people to take risks. We need to encourage people to not be afraid of opportunities that may scare them.. Ultimately moving forward, we need to embrace fear!” ^^
“What I always believe is that.. If you take chances and if you take risks, that in those risks will come opportunity. I believe that when you push people away from that, you pushing them more towards the failure. I believe when you train your employees to be risk averse, then you’re preparing your whole company to be reward challenged.”
What an inspirational speaker!
So fascinating! Astonishing, data-rich research with deep implications for how we learn.
I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine about coming up with “one” brilliant idea that will change our lives. ^^ That one idea you hoping to have one day.. One idea that will make you the most successful person in the world!!!! I know I know, what can I say — I am a very ambitious girl with a dream of becoming super successful one day. Who doesn’t want to become successful in their lives anyways?
As I was watching a CBC TV show “Dragons Den” with a friend of mine, she told me about this site called “FML: Your everyday life stories” and I thought what a simple but a brilliant idea!!!!! Why didn’t I think of that?!
Check it out if you haven’t. I am not saying this could have been that brilliant idea that I am waiting for but it is definitely an idea that will attract lots of people. Let’s keep thinking for that one brilliant idea we all need!
