"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

~Melody Beattie, May You Be Blessed

"We determine whether something will be a blessing or a curse by the way we choose to see it."

~Kate Nowak

"My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement - success will follow."

Helen Hayes 1900-1993, Award Winning Actress

"Work is not always required of a man. There is such a thing as a sacred idleness. The cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected." Take some time today to experience "sacred idleness".

~George MacDonald, The Nature of Success

"Even though we often forget, we acknowledge it: making a difference is more important than making a dollar. Sure, a dollar puts food on the table and a roof over our head and four shiny wheels in the garage, but we know in our gut that more money won't matter as much in the end. What will matter are the people whose lives we touched along the way."

~Todd Duncan, Simple Truths of Selling
