“This week has come with many important realizations. Chief among them is this, learn to say “No.” I have often found that “maybe” is one of the most damaging words, laying hope where there was never any to be had. If we truly love those around us and wish to give of ourselves in service, it will do much to maintain the relationship if we are up front in letting our loved ones know when it is impossible for us to extend our hand. Many are so afraid of hurting their friends that it is difficult for them to deny assistance. When I have had the opportunity to be in need I have always respected those who immediately made it known that they were in no position to help. Likewise, I make it a habit to do the same for any who come to me. If I can serve, I will. If I can find someone else who can serve, in the case that I cannot, I will. If I cannot serve you for some reason and I cannot find anyone else who can, I will let you know promptly so you can seek resolution elsewhere.
For, as often, the closing of one door is what allows us to see the door that has just opened before us. And were it not for that closure, we would never have seen the other opportunity near us.”
2. “In a world that is a mere reflection
of the collective consciousness of
humanity, we can see that the state of
the average mind is currently filled
with fear, anger, confusion, hatred,
poverty, hunger, and war.”
Joshua S Phair - 2013
4. “I have carefully chosen a six word mantra for which I will be collecting
and posting quotes on a daily basis. Once a week, I will use them to create
a Slideshare presentation. These quotes that I am collecting and sharing
are from six vital themes that need to be shared at this time, in a joint
effort to inspire, enlighten and motivate the human mind and heart. Only
by doing this, can we begin to dispel the fog that hangs over the world,
clouding the judgments, emotions and potential of mankind; and thereby
regain the proper and full ability to unite us again in peace and love and
come together to solve the problems that we face as humanity, Lest we
perish or lose ourselves.”
Enjoy them and spread the love…

8. "Perhaps the most valuable result of
all education is the ability to make
yourself do the thing you have to do,
when it ought to be done, whether you
like it or not; it is the first lesson that
ought to be learned; and however early a
man's training begins, it is probably the
last lesson that he learns thoroughly."
Thomas H Huxley
1825-1895
Biologist
9. “It's not how much
