"She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails." Elizabeth Edwards

 

DAILY INSPIRATION
The best teams master the basics; the ingenious plays come after. In the spiritual life, you should focus on mastering the basics. Daily prayer, spiritual reading, regular confession and receiving the Eucharist

 

WE ALL DO DAMAGE, BUT CHARACTER IS DETERMINED BY HOW WE REPAIR IT.

 

It seems that all my bridges have been burnt
But you say that's exactly how this grace thing works.
It's not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with every restart

~Buddha

 

thanks for that quote my friend!

'Happiness is mental harmony; unhappiness is mental inharmony.'

'Purity of heart is, in one word, to be innocent—like a child. Just think of what a child is like, an innocent child. Not all children are innocent, as everybody must have noticed. Some are more innocent than others; some have very little innocence Just imagine the most innocent child that you ever saw and then try to be like that. We shouldn’t become childish. Be mature, be wise, but at the same time be childlike.'

 

"The Warrior of the Light has learnt that it is best to follow the light. He has behaved treacherously, he has lied, he has strayed from the path, he has courted darkness and everything was fine, as if nothing had happened. Then the abyss suddenly opens up. One can take a thousand steps in safety, but a single step too many can put an end to everything" (Paulo Coelho).

 

PAULO! I meant to read The Alchemist about a month ago but never got around to it, perhaps I will read it now since I don't start working again till Tuesday!

 

Beautiful song, some lyrics caught my ear (bolded):

"Falling Awake" by Gary Jules

Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages.
Monkeys in my heart
Are rattling their cages.

Found a way to blue
And another ghost to follow
Said "it's only up to you"
And that's the hardest pill to swallow.

You never get to choose
You live on what they sent you
And you know they're gonna use
The things you love against you

One foot in the grave
One foot in the shower
There's never time to save
You're paying by the hour

And that's just the way it goes
Falling awake
And that's just the way it goes

 

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
-Winston Churchill

 

Here are some great lines from a podcast I used to listen to call Think Act Get. It explores different topics to help you think differently and approach your work in a more productive and holistic way. Here are my fav quotes!

The bad news is time flies the good news is you're the pilot.

Winners make a habit of doing what losers don't want to do. Celebrate anything difficult!

Guilt is something you do when you're bored. Attention is your biggest weapon.

Don't tippy toe around life so you can get to death safely.
