Life

It is said an eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him with the words, ‘And this, too, shall pass away.’ How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction! -  Abraham Lincoln

The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible. There is some place where your specialties can shine. Somewhere that difference can be expressed. It’s up to you to find it, and you can. - David Viscott

Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today? -  Mary Manin Morrissey
