It will never rain roses: When we want to have more roses we must plant more trees. – George Eliot
We reap what we sow. We must be clear about our intentions, our desires and our goals. We ought to know our life goals, even our Life Purpose.
How is it possible to get what we truly want when we don’t know what we want?
How would do you come to know what you deeply desire?
Recommendation: True Purpose
The highest reward for a man’s toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it. – John Ruskin
What do thee work for? What are thy becoming?
The United States celebrate Labor Day on September 6th, 2009! Celebrate the hard work that you do daily, and appreciate what you’ve accomplished already!

The problem with winning the rat race is you’re still a rat. – Lily Tomlin
We are all like rats aren’t we? We go milling about, with our nose to the ground (and grind), just like rats, looking for that elusive thing or person that will truly satisfy our deepest desires.
We satisfy some desires, are never deeply satiated, and move on to the next thing! We repeat this process while enjoying some bliss, enduring pain and experiencing loads of worry and anxiety.
What would happen if the rats stopped, looked around, even looked above? What’s the way out? Lot’s of questions to ponder and ruminate on!

I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dropped it carelessly, Ah! I didn’t know I held opportunity. – Hazel Lee
Opportunity abounds. We just need to know how to look and pay attention. What’s opportunity?
Treasure and enjoy all the moments you live and breathe, life is good!
Recommendation: Savor This Moment Embracing The Goodness In Everyday Life
Personal happiness arises from personal goodness. Only when
you are an internally good man or woman can you be a carefree
man or woman. – Vernon Howard
The root of all happiness lies in our being comfortable in our own skin. That comfort comes from a deep acceptance of ourselves. We’re more fully able to accept ourselves when we’re good.
Goodness means being truthful to ourselves and to all others. Goodness means taking care of ourselves and all those we encounter daily. Goodness means being loving to our own-selves plus all others.
When we thus become comfortable with us at a deep level, we can feel real good, we can truly be good. Goodness then emerges from our very being, others notice it.
Are you good?

The poet can only write the poems; it takes the reader to complete the meaning. – Nikki Giovanni
God is the master poet who writes profusely and with abandon. It is up to us to make meaning out of everything we see and experience. God’s there behind the scenes watching and participating in many more ways than one.
As we experience life and build our meaning and values, God finds that extremely powerful and valuable. He needs us as much as we need him. It takes two to tango and without us and our experience of living, relating and finding deep meaning, his whole creation would be for naught.
You are important to God, very important, always remember that, he can’t do without you, that’s how valuable you are.
Recommendation: God Is Closer Than You Think
If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going. – Professor Irwin Corey
What general direction are you headed with regard to your physical, mental and spiritual health?
Sometimes we feel that the future will take care of itself. Actually it does do that, all we have to do is fine tune our present. We must be happy and healthy now as far as possible, then the future takes care of itself.
Better to change direction as needed, NOW!
