"A new door will appear for you today. It may be wide open, like a job offer or an invitation, and you can just walk through it. Or perhaps it is open just a crack, and you'll have to make an effort to enable yourself to peek inside. It may be a smile from someone who has been distant or an opportunity to learn something new. Look ...for the opportunities, expect them, make a choice. It's all up to you! Enjoy the possibilities!"

REALLY loving....
"It is easy to say, 'I love you.' It is more challenging to actually love, because when times get hard, or people behave in ways that hurt or disappoint us, or they continue to make bad choices and hurt themselves, that is when our love is put to the test. True love is forgiving, encouraging, patient, helpful, empathetic and enduring. These are the actions that give real meaning to, 'I love you.'" - Regina, from Romancing Your Soul

Choosing "Not".....
"There is nothing positive to be gained by allowing our ego to box with other people's egos. The truth is we cannot control or change anyone but us. Therefore, it is not in our best interest to base our behavior on what other people say, or believe, or how they choose to behave. Rather it is OUR choosing NOT to allow ego to lead that is most important to our happiness and satisfaction."` Regina Cates
Making the Positive Bloom....
"People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong.
Why not try and see positive things,
to just touch those things and make them bloom?"
- Thich Nhat Hanh

The Beauty of Life........
"The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love."
...- Jennifer Edwards

The Way to View Problems.....
"View all problems as challenges.
Look upon negativities that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow.
Don't run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence.
You have a problem?
Great.
...More grist for the mill. Rejoice, dive in, and investigate."
- Bhante Henepola Gunaratana
