Do everything with a mind that lets go.
If you let go a little, you will have a little peace.
If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace.
If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom.
Your struggles with the world will have come to an end.
— Achaan Chah
Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey.
It reminds us to cherish each moment,
because it will never come again.
What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.
— Jean Luc Picard
In the entire history of the universe, let alone in your own history,
there has never been another day just like today.
And there will never be another just like it again.
Today is the point to which all your yesterdays have been leading since the hour of your birth.
It is the point from which all your tomorrows will proceed until the hour of your death.
If you were aware of how precious today is, you could hardly live through it.
Unless you are aware of how precise it is.
You can hardly be said to be living at all.
— Frederick Buechner
We are here to add what we can to life,
not to get what we can from life.
— William Osler
You must live in the present,
launch yourself on every wave,
find eternity in each moment.
Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land.
There is no other land;
there is no other life but this.
— Henry David Thoreau
The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.
No apologies or excuses.
No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.
The gift is yours-
Its an amazing journey- And you alone are responsible for the quality of it.
This is the day your life really beings.
— Bob Moawad
Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness.
Know how to give without hesitation,
how to lose without regret,
how to acquire.
— Anonymous
Let your boat of life be light,
packed with only what you need,
a homely home and simple pleasures,
one or two good friends worth the name,
someone to love and someone to love you,
a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two,
enough to eat and enough to wear,
and a little more than enough to drink;
for thirst is a dangerous thing.
— Jerome K. Jerome
You, whose day it is
get out your rainbow colors and make it
B E A U T I F U L.
— Traditional Nootka Song
With her own wings she flies...
