..I am only one, but I am still one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
~ Helen KellerNever underestimate the impact you have on the world every day. Change happens one kind act at a time. Sometimes the world focuses on the BIG events. However, it is the collective of all the small, positive acts done by the many that creates true change. Know that your life has purpose far beyond what you may ever know in this lifetime. YOU have value. YOU have choice. Choose to be a positive force in the world.Dali Lama - Instructions for Life--------------------------------------------------------

Masaru Emoto: Messages from Water: Water has a very important message for us. Water is telling us to take a much deeper look at our selves. When we do look at our selves through the mirror of water, the message becomes amazingly, crystal, clear. We know that human life is directly connected to the quality of our water, both within and all around us.
When the mind is silent and peaceful, it becomes very powerful. It can become a receptor of bliss and wisdom, enabling life to become a spontaneous flow and expression of joy and harmony. However . . . this inner silence cannot arise while there is a continual stream of disturbing thoughts and emotions. All this inner noise has to be removed before one can truly experience the soundless sound of inner silence. Practice breathing, relaxation in the real sense. You will start feeling the silence.-Swami Satyananda Saraswati
