"Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth." -Ralph Waldo Emerson Almost feels like we are playing dog games and now I want to play with my dog Mimi. I like to toss her toy around and make her bite it as I drag the toy around. She loves playing and I like

"If I feel depressed I will sing. If I feel sad I will laugh. If I feel ill I will double my labor. If I feel fear I will plunge ahead. If I feel inferior I will wear new garments. If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice. If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come. If I feel incompetent I will think of past

"As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins." - Albert Schweitzer I get mysterious thoughts all the time and always something bizarre. Sometimes, I think aliens are coming after me and it's as if I could see them in the sky. Other times, it's as if I'm in the movie Titanic trying to find a way to

"The habit of persistence is the habit of victory." - Herbert Kaufman One day I plan on reaching to the highest point of Mount Everest which is the highest mountain above sea level. It has been my dream as a kid and hopefully one day I can go there to actually conquer my dream. Mount Everest is a mountain in the Himalayas. It is about 23,600 feet above sea

"The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't." - Henry Ward Beecher Let's first figure out what perseverance and obstinacy means according to the dictionary. Perseverance - persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. Obstinacy - the quality or condition of being obstinate; stubbornness. Now, it is clear that you most likely

"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." - Anthony Robbins This is perhaps common sense and it is always why I tell people to do new things in life. This is what you have to think about: what have you done to be where you are now? If you are not satisfied than it is clear that you have to do different things

"We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse." - Ralph Waldo Emerson I like to think and prospect life towards on giving because it's a good feeling. When you give something to someone knowing that you got them happy is a good type of day. Also, sometimes you just brighten their day with positive energy and that goes on with them for

"A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm." - Charles M. Schwab I really think that we can all succeed on everything we do and there really is no reason to not succeed. As we are in the era of the year 2000's there is everything we need to accomplish. There is no such excuse of failure during this era as all tools and

"Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future." - Charles Kettering I guess it is true as much as you can imagine is just as much as you can progress. I mean if you can't imagine any more than what you are imagining than how much more can you progress other than what you are imagining. This said, it is important

"The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions." - Antony Jay This makes me think of people who are not appreciative of life. Kind of like never happy or always something negative to say. Instead of seeing the good, they always see the bad. Even when making food, they are making with negative outcomes and negative thoughts which destroys

"Creativity has more to do with the elimination of the inessential than with inventing something new." - Helmut Jahn Sure, this is true but creativity to me is like a work of art. This is kind of mind twisting quote and seems a bit confusing. I think Helmut Jahn is referring to creativity getting rid of what's nonimportant. This said, there is more to creativity than we may just

"Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity that you are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach - how you look at things." - Osho When it comes to Osho it is always something creative to think about it. Always something that makes you wonder in your mind that is very smart. Let's take a look at some more quotes by Osho: “The moment you

"Home is the only place you don’t go ‘to’. You go 'to’ school, you go 'to’ work’ but you don’t go 'to’ home, you just go home." This is a quote that is anonymous, and it just is so true. When you are home you always say that you have to go to here and there. But you never really say that you have to go to home. In

"The only certainty is that nothing is certain." - Pliny the Elder Come to think about it this kind of doesn't make sense. At the same time, it does and it's kind of like that a tricky quote. It's kind of like a catch to something that you don't know if it exists or not. As I like to think of it there is an outcome or a different

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." - Socrates Well, what can I say other than that it is absolutely true. More quotes I wanted to share from Socrates: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” – Socrates “Wisdom begins in wonder.” – Socrates “True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.”

"Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts." - Alan Cohen This is absolutely true and that we need to appreciate everything that we are going through. For whatever you are going through, there is always someone else going through the same thing. If you have problems like depression or anxiety, well guess what?

"Who forces time is pushed back by time, who yields to time finds time on his side." - The Talmud Well, when it comes to time one thing is for sure that it's just a ticking clock that keeps ticking and there is no going back. Every tick just brings us closer to the future and then with just a blink of an eye we realize twenty years has

"In a gentle way, you can shake the world." - Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi It's kind of sad how everything may seem right than out of nowhere there is an Earthquake that shakes the world apart. Something keeps bringing me to the same thought that God is doing it on purpose for whatever reason it has in its mind. Same with the dinosaurs and they once ruled the Earth and

"Those who are highly evolved, maintain an undiscriminating perception. Seeing everything, labeling nothing, they maintain their awareness of the Great Oneness. Thus, they are supported by it." - Lao Tzu No matter what Lao Tzu say's it's always right. Now, I kind of want to climb the mountain and go for an adventure walk just to clear my mind. For two decades now I have been going hiking which

"How much do you engage yourself in what's truly real and important in life? That's the individual question." - Ted Danson What I think Ted Danson is saying is that we need to not waste time on stupid stuff that don't matter. Instead, we need to work on things that matter. An example would be such as going to school instead of chasing boyfriends or girlfriends. Taking the time

"War settles nothing." - Dwight D. Eisenhower This is absolutely a no brainer, I mean who really would think that war is the answer? What good is there killing one another just for land. There is nothing good that comes from war and instead there should be a different way to settle things. No one is wanting to go to war so why even have a war. Many countries

"Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth." - Ludwig Boerne I don't know what to say about this one as it's a bit tricky. Losing an illusion can really be depressing if you had it for your whole life. However, I know couple people who have lost one of their eye and they get used to it during time. They put a fake eye which might

"Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is." - Thomas Szasz When it comes to boredom there is nothing negative I can say as I like to do nothing. Being bored works for me and its relaxing time if you really think about it. On top of that, many people take boredom as a feeling of joy during relax times. It's kind

"What if we just acted like everything was easy?" - Mary Anne Radmacher What I want to get to with this quote is about acting. For example, let's say you are having a bad day and nothing is really working out for you. In that case, you start showing facial expressions that you are not really in the mood of greatness. In other words, when people look at you

"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled." - Plutarch Anyone remember ever having a Kindle from Barns & Noble? It is a device where you can read books on it and it's as if it doesn't exist anymore as cell phones and tablets have advanced in the past years. Did I say Barns & Noble? Well, it might be Amazon but
