My reflection:
“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting – a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, and every fair sky, and every fair flower and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

My reflection:
“If you wear out your body, where are you going to live?
You only get one, and it has to last you a long time, so it’s important to learn sooner, rather than later, how to take care of this wonderful human machine we have.” J. Victor McGuire, PhD

My reflection:
“Life is short. In choosing a path make sure you first identify those things that you can do. Then, reduce your choice further by zooming in on what you really want to do. Finally, select those things that you really, really want to do- and then do them.” Ohad Kamin

My reflection:
“There is no need to give up your serenity for the sake of getting something accomplished. In fact, accomplishment comes more surely when your efforts are calm and your spirit is peaceful.
Consider how very much more you can get done when your energy is not being sapped away by a frenzied mind. True serenity is not the absence of action, but rather action with integrity, confidence, and a steadfastness of purpose.
The world may very well be swirling around you in a constant turmoil. But you don’t have to adapt that turmoil as your own.
 The more frenzied and hurried life becomes, the more serene and unperturbed you have the opportunity to be. Whatever you can accomplish in a hectic and chaotic state, you can accomplish much more powerfully with peaceful calm determination.
When you’re confronted with turmoil, respond with serenity. It will lift you to a higher level of experience and accomplishment.”  Ralph S. Marston, Jr.
