Open When You Need Motivation Part 13

And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history — money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery — the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.

Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary.

Make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past. Sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn't what you get for it, but what you become for it. Shake things up today! Be you,  be free, share.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

The strongest people find the courage and caring to help others, even if they are going through their own storm.

If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.

I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.

Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.

Kindness is not a business. True kindness expects nothing in return and should never act with conditions.

What you have to decide... is how you want your life to be. If your forever was ending tomorrow, would this be how you'd want to have spent it? Listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed. You know that more than anybody. So don't be afraid. Be alive.

Getting something and having the wits to use it... those are two different things.

If I am to be fallen into love, I will. And if as a result I will appear to be stupid, disillusioned, and of poor judgement, I will. And I would be damned if I cared what other people think. For I would rather be thought of as all of these things, than not love. If in loving, I become the naked woman on the horse, I will ride that horse with my head held high. This is my spirit. I am unbreakable.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.

Oh the places you'll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored! There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all.

We're here, and then we're gone, and it's not about the time we're here, but what we do with the time.

Do not let arrogance go to your head and despair to your heart; do not let compliments go to your head and criticisms to your heart; do not let success go to your head and failure to your heart.
