and I quote - Change

If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

Lao Tzu

and I quote - Happiness

“Happiness comes from counting our blessings, appreciating little things – a flower by a stream, seagulls circling over the ocean, laughter of little children, a call from a friend, a challenge met. Happiness comes from celebrating the moment - not waiting for all our problems to be solved. Happiness comes from cultivating a thankful heart.”
Anon

and I quote - Courage

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.

Eleanor Roosevelt

and I quote - Listen

So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

and I quote... look around

Looking for and enjoying beauty is a way to nourish the soul. the universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh-baked bread. Beauty is everywhere. 

Matthew Fox
