Henry Ward Beecher gave us today’s quote: “Of all earthly music, that which reaches farthest into heaven is the beating of a truly loving heart.”
This touched me – of all earthly music – wow – the sounds of a loving heart – how are they manifested in us – with joyful tones, with laughter or [...]
Music to the world…
Love is unreasonable
Samuel Butler gave us today’s quote on love: “To live is like to love – all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct is for it.”
Loving is somewhat unreasonable – think of how strong an emotion love is – how much is hurts sometimes to see what we love leave or fade away – [...]
Love is in the air!
This weeks theme is a great one – to me and to mankind as well – it’s love. As I eagerly went through the quotes on love it became apparent that people put love into categories – the romantic love, the family love and the love for all others or of mankind – this week [...]
Accept only the best
To end the week on our theme of best I have two quotes – one is the famous one from Somerset Maugham who said, “It is a funny thing about life – if you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it.”
And then one more from Abraham Lincoln who said, “I [...]
Are you being your best?
I’ve been studying the Sedona Method lately, it’s all about releasing. Releasing the tension, the gunk we hold onto from out past, the stuff that gets in our way in the present. I like it, I’m just beginning and the goal is for it to help me be my best. So today’s quote which comes [...]
You can get better
John Farrar once said, “There is only one real failure in life that is possible, and that is, not to be true to the best one knows.”
This took me up – have I not been or done my best sometimes – I would have to confess that I have not – that I’ve sometimes allowed [...]
Weigh In: Interrupting
Hearing from YOU the people on: People Skills
Weigh in on: Interrupting
One of my friends is the most wonderful, bubbly, happy vivacious person you might be fortunate to meet. Her enthusiasm is contagious and we get together every week which is a highlight for me.
When she is jazzed (usually) and brimming with news (always) she has [...]
The very best you can…
Abraham Lincoln has something interesting to say about being the best. As a matter of fact there are two quotes from Abraham Lincoln today. I found it interesting that he is quoted twice in my quote book under this topic.
“I do the very best I know how – the very best I can; and mean [...]
Give the best of yourself
This week’s theme is best. The word best can conjure up a lot of different things – what is the best? How do we become the best and who is the judge? – We are the judge of our best – so let’s ratchet up our abilities this week to be [...]
Be a Light for Others
This last quote is a favorite of mine and is a Persian Proverb which says, “We come into this world crying while all around us are smiling. May we so live that we go out of this world smiling while everybody around us is weeping.”
This to me says, live, love, give, serve, and be a [...]
