"There are more ways than one to die.
We die a little each time we hold ourselves
back from becoming
our authentic self.
We die a little each time we go in denial.
We die a little each time we allow ourselves
to be talked out of
our dreams.
We die a little each time we refuse to heed
the call of our heart
that is yearning for love, for
intimacy, for joyful passion.
We die a little each time we are too afraid
to live."
- Barbara DeAngelis
"It's never too late--in fiction or in life--to
revise."
- Nancy Thayer
"Let the beauty we love be what we do"
- Rumi
"Don't be satisfied with stories, how things
have gone with
others. Unfold -
your own myth....."
- Rumi
"Go within every day and find the inner strength
so that the
world will not blow your
candle out."
- Katherine Dunham
"You can always cope with the now,
But you can never cope with the future
-- nor do you have to.
The Answer, the Strength, the Right
Action, or the Resource will
be there when you need it, not before, not after."
- Eckhart Tolle
"If you get rid of the pain before you have
answered its
questions, you get rid of the
self along with it."
- Carl Jung
