living

Comfort zone: simply means the routine of one__ daily life _ it is a psychological state in which one feels familiar, safe, at ease, and secure.

Patience, more than the ability to bear pains or endure waiting, is to be calm no matter what happens _ constantly take action to turn it to positive growth opportunities _ and have faith to believe that it will all work out in the end while you are waiting.

Be the positive impact on someone__ life.

Strive to make small changes and learn something new daily, because there is always these experiences you have had to tap into for the future.

Do not let arrogance go to your head and despair to your heart.

Do not let the roles you play in life make you forget that you are human.

I__ barely human. I__ more like a creature; to me, everything gives off a scent! Thoughts, moments, feelings, movements, words left unsaid, words barely spoken; they all have a distinct sense, distinct fragrances! Both a smell and a touch! To inhale is to capture, to experience! I can perceive and I can __ouch_ in so many odd ways! And so I am made up of all these scents, all these feelings! An illumination of nerve endings!

I think that there are those who write of life being a skip on the sidewalk, a chocolate bar, a bowl of cherries... the problem with that is it ends up disappointing people. Because life is more like being on the tube in London; you never really know what could happen! But then there are those people who bring a box of chocolates to eat on the tube...so life, it isn't a skip on the sidewalk, but it is a matter of strength: "Can I bring my bowl of cherries to feast on while I stand here in the gutter?" that's the essence of life. Can you still put on your rose-colored glasses while your eyes are filled with tears, and see everything in rosy colors? That's the strength that fuels a true life. Can you think to bring your little box of chocolates with you while you sit on the tube running under the streets of London? Because you should. Because even if you don't know anybody, and you don't know what's gonna happen next, you should have your box of chocolates with you. You should eat your bowl of cherries. And that is what life is.

Don't let procrastination take over your life. Be brave and take risks. Your life is happening right now.

I hope I don't write TOO many books! When I look at authors who have written too many books, I wonder to myself "When did they live?" I certainly want to write BECAUSE I live! I know I don't want to write in order to live! My writing is an overflow of the wine glass of my life, not a basin in which I wash out my ideals and expectations.

If you always do what is easy and choose the path of least resistance, you never step outside your comfort zone. Great things don__ come from comfort zones.

Believe in your heart that you're meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles.

Be brave and take risks_ You don't have to have it all figured out to move forward.

Our key to greatness lies not in our ability to project ourselves to others as if we are putting ourselves onto a projector and creating an image of ourselves on a projector screen. Rather, our key to greatness lies in who we are which we can give to other people in a way that when they walk away from us, they are able to say in their hearts that they have taken away something with them quite extraordinary.

I looked long and hard for the paper roses! I found the reddest red ribbon, and a little golden card! We were all there together, many of us, in the same place; but I was the only one who found the paper roses, the only one who chose the reddest red ribbon, and the only one who topped off with a golden card. And so I learned that if people are unhappy, it is only because they don't know how to look for the paper roses, they don't see the reddest red ribbon, and they don't like the little golden cards. We are all in the same wrap-shoppe in this life. But we are different. Because some of us are looking for the paper roses, choosing the reddest red ribbon, and picking up the little golden cards.

Live a good life. More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

The more you can have control over your ego rather than let it run amuck, the more successful you__l be in all areas of life.

If you wait for a cake to be given to you so you will be happy- then you will be happy when someone gives you a cake. But if you buy a cake (or bake one) for yourself so you will be happy, you have found the way of happiness.
