Einstein brilliance

There are moments when one feels free from one's own identification with human limitations and inadequacies. At such moments one imagines that one stands on some spot of a small planet, gazing in amazement at the cold yet profoundly moving beauty of the eternal, the unfathomable; life and death flow into one, and there is neither evolution nor destiny; only Being.

Albert Einstein

"Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?"

"Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the LORD.

God in All

If you cannot see God in all, you cannot see God at all.

Joy

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are…

Be thankful for what you don't get

If you don ' t get everything you want, think of the things you don ' t get that you don ' t want.

A Candle loses nothing if it is used to light another one.

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

When people talk about you...

"If no one is talking about you, you can't amount to much."

William C. Cranwell

"If no one is talking about you, you must not be doing anything good."

Do Not Worry About Anything

4
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Paul, Phillipians

Pain isn't necessarily gain.

I've been running regularly since age 20, almost 40 years, and have never had a problem or injuries. I recommend jogging pleasurably, not running against time or competing with others informally or in marathons, and changing shoes every 4-6 months as the bounce begins to wear out. Make it fun and I think your body will take care of the rest. Pain is not necessarily gain.

Worry about nothing

Worry about nothing. Pray about everything.

Paul

We did not get here by ourselves.

If you see a turtle on a fence post, you know he did not get there by himself.

Walk with the Wise

He who walks with the wise grows wise...

Proverbs

When you are going through hell, keep going.

When you are going through hell, keep going.

The world is your teacher

When you grow up on a farm, the world is your playground and nature is your teacher.

Just takes one seed...

One seed of corn can multiply enough in just eight years to feed all of the Earth's inhabitants for one year.

Pastor Chip Roberson

Before you let one word leave your lips...

Before we say anything, the words should pass through three gates:

TRUE

NECESSARY

KIND.

Now few of us will remember this wisdom every time we begin to talk, but if we can just not say one thing that causes pain one time, the world is a better place.

We are greater than any problem

"The question is not, Do you have a problem? The question is, Does the problem have you?"

Power of Prayer

There is no greater power in the Universe than the power of prayer.

Ferrari Mind

Far more important to have a Ferrari mind in a Model T body than a Model T mind in a Ferrari body.

We spend far too much time building our body and too little time perfecting our mind.

Easwaran

Environmental Pressure

"A child is better off in a good neighborhood and a troubled family than he or she is in a troubled neighborhood and a good family."

The Tipping Point

Power of Positive Thinking

One of the most successful and persuasive money managers, Tom Gau, in answer to whether he was happy, bounced off his chair and said:

"Very. I'm probably the most optimistic person you could ever imagine. You take the most optimistic person you know and take it the hundredth power, that's me. Because you know the power of positive thinking will overcome so many things..."

The Tipping Point

As we sit still on this rock called earth...

As we sit still on this rock called earth, we are in constant movement and never ever even think about it. While we think we are still, we are actually moving:

1,000 MPH around the earth's axix,

which is moving 66,000 MPH around the sun,

which is moving 558,000 MPH around its Milky Way galaxy,

which is moving 666,000 MPH around its local group of galaxies,

which are moving...

Make Yourself So Happy

Make yourself so happy that when others look at you they become happy too.

Winston Churchill's Wisdom

Winston Churchill had a great response for hate-mailers back in his pre-Internet era. He'd send the correspondent a letter containing only a single line, which stopped them in their tracks every time: 'Dear Madam: You may very well be right.'

Focus

"I just focus on what is happening between the white lines," Seattle Seahawks quarterback at 2006 playoff game, in response to a question about whether he thought the team would win the conference title.
