Blame is a Cop Out

A man can fail many times,
but he isn't a failure until
he begins to blame somebody else.
- John Burroughs

No one "does it to you."
You do it to yourself through other people.
- Anonymous

When you blame others, you give up your power to change.
- Robert Anthony

Those who are dedicated to a life of wisdom
understand that the impulse to blame
something or someone is foolishness,
that there is nothing to be gained in blaming,
whether it be others or oneself.
- Epictetus

It is an act of great Courage to forsake all Blame.
Take responsibility for your whole life -
regardless of circumstances.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

********
Peace and Joy Come Only From Within

'Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
- Percy Bysshe Shelley

The works of man do not endure. Ancient Egypt thrived for thousands of years before its civilization was overthrown. America, at less than 300 years, isn't even out of diapers. Security and happiness cannot come from physical things, whether cars, homes, or seemingly indestructible monuments of civilization. Lasting joy can only come from within and from connection with Spirit.

When you find peace within yourself,
you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.
- Peace Pilgrim

It is important to expect nothing,
to take every experience,
including the negative ones,
as merely steps on the path,
and to proceed.
- Ram Dass

Peace comes from within.
Do not seek it without.
- The Buddha

Pay Attention and Look Closely

The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass,
it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
- Henry Miller

The more you look, the more you see.
- Robert M. Pirsig

Reason, observation, and experience;
the holy trinity of science.
- Robert Green Ingersoll

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one.
Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own.
It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.
- Paulo Coelho

Look closely... See with new eyes...
Don't just pass by what is familiar without a thought.
Pay attention and look closely.
There is beauty - there is discovery -
there in a whole new world hiding
beneath the face of the familiar.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

*******
Seek Win-Win Solutions

When we seek to discover the best in others,
we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.
- William Arthur Ward

Most of us think about succeeding in terms of someone else failing --
that is, if I win, you lose; or if you win, I lose.
Life becomes a zero-sum game.
... [In contrast,] Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one.
Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks
mutual benefit in all human interactions.
Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying.
- Stephen R. Covey


Your mother really did know the secret to a better world:
"Play nicely together. Don't fight."

Today's affirmation:
I feel unity with Spirit and with all that is.
My life is richer for sharing my being with all those I meet.
Each experience, however it appears at the time,
highlights and strengthens the fabric of my life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

********
Your Attitude Defines Your Life

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
- Norman Vincent Peale

The greatest discovery of any generation
is that a human being
can alter his life by
altering his attitude
- William James

Attitude is Everything.
- Charles Swindoll

We can let circumstances rule us,
or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.
- Earl Nightingale

Whatever happens to you, your attitude determines the quality of your life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

********
Our Vision is Always Biased by What We Expect or Fear to See

Choose the World You See,
and See the World You Choose.
You have a choice
about the perspective you take on life.
See tragedy, and the world is tragic -
see beauty, and the world is beautiful.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

People seem not to see that
their opinion of the world
is also a confession of character.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
- John Lubbock

It all depends on how we look at things,
and not how they are in themselves.
- Carl Jung

Our Vision is Always Biased by What We Expect or Fear to See.

Might an Inconvenience be an Adventure Instead?

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered.
An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.
- G. K. Chesterton

Take a chance! All life is a chance.
The man who goes farthest is generally
the one who is willing to do and dare.
- Dale Carnegie

This time, like all times, is a very good one,
if we but know what to do with it.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is lived in the mists;
little is fully visible; less is certain.
Yet rejoice in the unknowing,
and let all of life be a wonderful adventure.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

What worries you, masters you.
- John Locke

*******
Allow Others to be Imperfect, and Love Them Anyway

Happiness lies in accepting everyone
in our lives EXACTLY as they are.
We cause ourselves untold misery whenever
we believe others to be imperfect and try to change them.
This is the number one rule for a happy relationship.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Being human, we are imperfect. That's why we need each other.
To catch each other when we falter.
To encourage each other when we lose heart.
Some may lead; others may follow; but none of us can go it alone.
- Hilary Clinton
[As always, I chose quotes based on the inspirational value of the specific quote, and not on the life of the person quoted.]

We come to love not by finding the perfect person,
but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
- Angelina Jolie

Love is sometimes shown
in the things you don't say,
don't keep track of, and don't notice.
...
The greatest kindness is often shown
in letting things go.
None of us is perfect,
but we can all be perfect friends
and perfect partners by allowing
those that we love to be imperfect.
- Neale Donald Walsch

Faith That A New Day Will Dawn

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want...
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me
- Psalm 23

Faith has to do with things that are not seen
and hope with things that are not at hand.
- Saint Thomas Aquinas

Faith is the bird that feels the light
and sings when the dawn is still dark.
- Rabindranath Tagore
The antidotes for worry are gratitude, action, service, and faith.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

There is nothing that wastes the body like worry,
and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed
to worry about anything whatsoever.
- Mohandas Gandhi

*****
Life is a Journey - Enjoy the Journey.
Life is not a race to test
who can finish first or who can end up with the most loot.
Rather, life is best enjoyed as a meander -
watching the view to left and right - above and below -
as the days slowly move past in dress review.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

It is better to travel well than to arrive.
- The Buddha

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward
is to move toward perfection.
March on, and fear not the thorns,
or the sharp stones on life's path.
- Khalil Gibran

The journey between what you once were
and who you are now becoming
is where the dance of Life really takes place.
- Barbara De Angelis

Create Your Own Day Today

Fear not for the future,
weep not for the past.
- Percy Bysshe Shelley

History is a relentless master.
It has no present, only the past rushing into the future.
To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
- John F. Kennedy

The mind exists in time, in fact the mind is time;
it exists in the past and the future.
And remember, time consists of only two tenses,
the past and the future.
The present is not part of time,
the present is part of eternity.
- Osho

Life cannot be lived fully or joyfully if
our thoughts are focused on regretting the past,
preoccupied with anticipating the future,
or lost in the mind-fog of unconscious habitual behavior.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I Create Today As a Celebration of My Life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

*******
Thou Shalt Not Covet

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house;
you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife,
nor his male servant, nor his female servant,
nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.
- Exodus 20:17

Beware! Jealousy is a green-eyed monster.
- William Shakespeare

The jealous are troublesome to others,
but a torment to themselves.
- William Penn

The envious person grows lean
with the fatness of their neighbor.
- Socrates

Of the seven deadly sins, only envy is no fun at all.
- Joseph Epstein

A good life isn't measured in material goods.
There is no quicker path to misery than coveting your neighbors' stuff.

Both Roots and Wings

Those who can see value only in tradition,...
deny man's ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
- Stephen Bayley

There are two lasting bequests we can give our children
One is roots, the other is wings.
- Hodding Carter

I prefer to choose which traditions to keep and which to let go.
- Theodore Bikel

Honor tradition, but
Do not be constrained by tradition.

In matters of conscience,
the law of the majority has no place.

20 Voltaire Quotes to Improve your Rational Thinking

Voltaire was a man of reason, a deist who loathed fanaticism, superstition, idolatry and mostly the fact that men are capable of killing each other to defend a religious doctrine that they scarcely understand.

His attitude toward religion and authorities was not well received in France and as a result, he was twice sentenced to prison and once to temporary exile to England.

Voltaire’s best-known work is Candide. The satirical novella of the human condition published in 1759, was a best-seller from the moment it appeared and was translated into every possible language.

Voltaire said of himself that he “wrote to act” and his greatest desire as a philosopher was to change people’s way of thinking and behaving. He strongly believed in reason, tolerance, freedom of speech and a free and liberal society.

Here are 20 Voltaire quotes that create a lasting impression.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

The mirror is a worthless invention. The only way to truly see yourself is in the reflection of someone else’s eyes.

Cherish those who seek the truth but beware of those who find it.

Common sense is not so common.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

Let us cultivate our garden.

Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road.

The more often a stupidity is repeated, the more it gets the appearance of wisdom.

Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.

Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.

Doubt is an uncomfortable condition, but certainty is a ridiculous one.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Don’t think money does everything or you are going to end up doing everything for money.

It is clear that the individual who persecutes a man, his brother, because he is not of the same opinion, is a monster.

The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

May God defend me from my friends: I can defend myself from my enemies.

Men are equal; it is not birth but virtue that makes the difference.

21 Ernest Hemingway Quotes to Use as Guiding Principles

Leaving behind an impressive body of work written in an iconic style, Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway is one of America’s greatest writers.

Hemingway’s succinct and clean prose style was imitated by many other authors, especially in the 20th century. He used short and simple sentences, leaving aside any verbosity that would imply further interpretation or emotional rhetoric.

Much of Hemingway’s work was inspired by the war and his characters embody his own values and way of thinking — intense masculinity and confidence that harmoniously coexist with sensitivity. Based on this he created a set of principles known as the ‘Code Hero’ which he defined as ‘a man who lives correctly, following the ideals of honor, courage and endurance in a world that is sometimes chaotic, often stressful, and always painful.’

By writing masterpieces like ‘A Farewell to Arms‘ or ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ and by living an adventurous life, Hemingway earned himself a fame surpassed by few.


Here are 21 Ernest Hemingway quotes to help you become a more virtuous person.

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

Let him think that I am more man than I am and I will be so.

Courage is grace under pressure.

The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.

Never confuse movement with action.

So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.

When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.

Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.

Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.

No, that is the great fallacy: the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful.

The first and final thing you have to do in this world is to last it and not be smashed by it.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.

People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.

Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry: Worry never fixes anything.

Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.

Stop Wasting Time. 50 Reminders From One of History’s Most Powerful Figures

There’s an inconsistency that sneaks into our relationship with time. There never seems to be enough of it in the day. We’ll get to it later, we say. Maybe we say yes to too many things, maybe there’s comfort in pushing things to later, or maybe we’re just unaware that our priorities are misplaced. The Stoics talk about deciding what’s essential. They all do. Marcus Aurelius is relentless about it though.

Not born into the royal lineage, Marcus Aurelius was chosen for the throne. At a time when Rome was dealing with horrible plagues and foreign attacks, Marcus likely would have rathered the time to pursue his intellectual interests in subjects like Greek and Latin, but mostly, Stoicism. Still, he became Rome’s greatest leader.

Every night, Marcus Aurelius sat down to write. He decompressed, reviewed the day and decided how he could improve. Those writings survive to us today published as Meditations. He wrote incessantly about brevity, living presently, and identifying then removing nonessentials—reminders to live a good and full life.

We waste time, we busy ourselves, we prioritize trivialities. Marcus Aurelius weighed every sentence he spoke and every action he took with a question: “is this necessary?” When the answer to that question is exclusively, “yes,” you will have enough time in the day.

Below are 50 quotes from Meditations. They’re all reminders, originally to self, but now to us to make the most of this life, to expend time on only what is essential, to stop wasting time.

Pearls of the Koran: Adversity, patience and action

God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad: "Truly, with adversity comes relief " (Quran, 94: 5)

[ English ]

God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad: " Truly, with adversity comes relief " (Quran, 94: 5), which teaches us to always see the good side in misfortunes and to have hope. He also received these inspired words: " Be patient, that the promise of God is true, ask forgiveness for your sin and glorify the praises of your Lord in the evening and at night "(40:55).

This highlights the importance of practicing patience and humility, while asking for divine protection. But the Qur'an also teaches us to be active and to make decisions (especially to improve our character and our actions): " God does not change what is in people until they change what is within themselves " (13: 11), that is to say that we have the responsibility on how we react to things and what path we choose.
