There’s only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving—and that’s your own Self.

Aldous Huxley

From the timeless, genius wisdom of Helen Keller:
“Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.”

When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

Marcel Proust

“High on a mountain overlooking the sea,

I strained with all my might,

To catch a glimpse of the ships approaching,

The beacon of light.

“The searching beam gives direction

Of where the land might be.

It reminds me of the guard I keep

when you are away from me.

“I stand like the mighty lighthouse,

The waves crashing at my feet…

My light of love cascading,

guiding you home to me.

“Wherever you may wander,

Remember that whence you return…

To follow the beacon of my love

That through eternity will burn.”

(an excerpt from the poem “The Lighthouse” by Marge Tindal)

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are—it is our CHOICES.

(from the popular “Harry Potter” series)

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Albert Einstein

When people believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

Norman Vincent Peale

Accept—then ACT. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it…This will miraculously transform your whole life.

Eckhart Tolle
