“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style”

~ Maya Angelou

 

[Geoff-Allen]

"Everyone desires change, and at the same time we resist it. It becomes a tug of war between the ego and the soul. The reason is that all changes, positive or negative always produce chaos and the ego resists the chaos of change. When you learn to embrace chaos, you will master change. Depending on how much you cling to your ego, will determine how difficult change is for you. Let go, trust your soul to help you through the chaos of personal empowerment and growth. You'll be glad you did."

~ Michaiel Patrick Bovenes

"We teach children how to measure and how to weigh. We
fail to teach them how to revere, how to sense wonder and awe."

~ Harold Kushner

 

[Geoff-Allen]

"What an absolutely precious state awe is! When we are in awe, we approach the grandeur of the knowledge of our place in the universe. In experiencing awe, we allow the brilliance and wisdom of the child and the innocent to return to our awareness. When we are filled with awe, we are at peace with the knowledge that we do not and cannot understand everything. A peacefulness permeates our being, descending upon us with this knowledge. Awe lets us glimpse the vastness of creation with the awareness that we are part of it. Awe is a knowledge that transcends understanding. If we have trouble feeling awe, children are sometimes willing to help us."

Path to Happiness

Enjoy!

 

[Geoff-Allen]

One road to happiness is to cultivate curiosity about everything. Not only about people but about subjects, not only about the arts but about history and foreign customs. Not only about countries and cities, but about plants and animals. Not only about lichened rocks and curious markings on the bark of trees, but about stars and atoms. Not only about your friends but about that strange labyrinth we inhabit which we call ourselves. Then, if we do that, we will never suffer a moment's boredom.

~ Gerald Brenan
