Just ASK for What You Want!

If you don't go after what you want, 

you'll never have it. 

If you don't ask, 

the answer is always no. 

If you don't step forward, 

you're always in the same place. 

~ Nora Roberts

Accept Yourself!

When you know yourself you are empowered.

When you accept yourself you are 

invincible. 

(Multi-colored meteorite)

~ Tina Lifford

SELF-EMPOWERMENT

Don't wait for others to empower you.  If you know what you are doing, claim it and move forward.  Permission, from others, not required.

Are we really ever wasting time?

"Creativity is the residue 

of wasted time." 

~ Albert Einstein

Einstein's education was disrupted by his father's repeated failures at business. In 1894, after his company failed to get an important contract to electrify the city of Munich, Hermann Einstein moved to Milan, Italy, to work with a relative. Einstein was left at a boarding house in Munich and expected to finish his education. Alone, miserable, and 

repelled by the looming prospect of military duty when he turned 16, Einstein ran away six months later and landed on the doorstep of his surprised parents. His parents realized the enormous problems that he faced as a school dropout and draft dodger with no employable skills. His prospects did not look promising.

HAPPINESS...is the KEY! GET THE KEY!

Success is not the key to happiness. 

Happiness is the key to success.

 If you love what you are doing, 

you will be successful. 

~ Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer (January 14, 1875-September 4, 1965) was born into an Alsatian family which for generations had been devoted to religion, music, and education. His father and maternal grandfather were ministers; both of his grandfathers were talented organists; many of his relatives were persons of scholarly attainments...

...Having decided to go to Africa as a medical missionary rather than as a pastor, Schweitzer in 1905 began the study of medicine at the University of Strasbourg. In 1913, having obtained his M.D. degree, he founded his hospital at Lambaréné in French Equatorial Africa, but in 1917 he and his wife were sent to a French internment camp as prisoners of war. Released in 1918, Schweitzer spent the next six years in Europe, preaching in his old church, giving lectures and concerts, taking medical courses, writing On the Edge of the Primeval Forest, The Decay and Restoration of Civilization, Civilization and Ethics, and Christianity and the Religions of the World.

Calm during the storm.


Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?

~Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy
