Thank you

As our lives unfold, we discover the richness that it holds. Too often, when we are younger, we are very busy getting 'here' and running 'there' that we don't pay attention to each moment.  It is the simple things in life that count.

When someone offers you a cut in line, take it graciously. If you are invited to a party, go and have fun. If you buy a new outfit, wear it out. When a compliment is bestowed, say 'thank you.'

I hear many slang terms for 'thank you.' However, I rarely hear 'thank you' at all. I know that 'it is my job' and that it is 'no problem' for you to do something for me. I also understand that 'be cool' is nice. 'Yeah, man, sure thing and whatever' do acknowledge an act of kindness but sometimes a simple "thank you" expresses more than you know.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"It is the simply things in life that unfold to reveal the true beauty of living." tc

Great Round of Life

It is important to learn from the spiritually wise of the past, otherwise we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes in the future. No ‘one way’ has all the answers. Search for wisdom and light then, you will know when you find the Truth.


Buddha said:

“An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.”


“There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”

Hindu Scripture says:

“Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?”
                                                                                                                                          - Sai Baba

“The Self is the hub of the wheel of life,
And the sixteen forms are only the spokes.
The Self is the paramount goal of life.
Attain this goal and go beyond death!”
                                - Prashna Upanishad


Lao Tsu, Founder of Taoism said:

Anticipate the difficulty by managing the easy.”

“When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.””

Jesus said:

“It is more important what comes out of your mouth, then what goes in.”

“Love thy neighbor as thyself.”

Wise leaders of the past have valid insights into how we ought to live. However, I caution you in taking any one individual's viewpoint as The Way.  Your Way is as personal and unique as you are. Find your Truth within the Great Round of Life, within yourself!

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“Learn from the past, Grow in the present and Be in the future.” tc
