In Service of Others
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
>>>>Mahatma Gandhi<<<<<<<<< If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching, or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain. >>>>>>>Emily Dickinson<<<<<<<<<< Now my friends I am opposed to the system of society in which we live today, not because I lack the natural equipment to do for myself comfortable knowing that there are thousands of my fellow men who suffer for the barest necessities of life. >>>>>>>>Eugene V. Debs<<<<<<<<<<<< At the close of life, the question will be not how much you got, but how much have you given, not how much have you won but how much have you done, not how much have you saved, but how much have you sacrificed. It will be how much have you loved and served, not how much were you honored. >>>>>>>>>Nathan C. Schaeffer<<<<<<<<<<<<

Thoughts
Ready or not, someday it will come to an end. There will be no more sunrises. No minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass on to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.

Worry is like a rocking chair it gives you something to do but it gets
you nowhere. God will always take care for you.
If A is 1 B is 2 Z is 26 the L O V E is 54 and F R I E N D S H I P is 108. Interesting Friendship is twice greater than love.
Two things that you must do to be happy. Forget the good you do to others and forget the wrong others do unto you.
If you live your life according to what people say thinks or expect you then you never really life your life you only walk in the shadow of their footsteps.
Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. M. Cicero
Silence is a state of mind quite removed from the mere absence of noise.
A still mind is wise and free, free from worry, speculation, regret, past hurts ...
the whole list that make one feel weak and old.
Courage does not always roar
Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying
"I will try again tomorrow."

Life
At the end of the road looms death nullifying all we had invested while alive.
But should we fall into despair or appreciate that one life?
After all we can find meaning in how we engage life
And life is not me but us, not isolation but engagement, not next
travel but this travel.

Live Today
I will live this day as if it is my last. The cluster of today I shall fulfill today.
Today I shall hold my children while they are young; tomorrow they will be gone, and so will I.
Today I shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses; tomorrow she will be gone and so will I.
Today I shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow he will no longer cry for help, nor will I hear his cries.
Today I shall give myself in sacrifice and work: tomorrow I will have nothing to give and there will be none to receive.
I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is my last, it will be my greatest monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will make very hour count and each minute. I will trade only for something of value. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best.
I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall on my knees and give thanks.
