You Are Not Your Thoughts
How many times have your said to yourself “today sure went by
fast”. It seems that our lives are so complex and so full of things to
do that we forget to feel the moments that together make up a
day. Moments are lost amid the clutter of everyday and they become
blurred by the activities we invent. It seems like activity is
more important than the moments in which they occur.
“Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to
recognize it as such.” Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to
improve the world.” Anne Frank, Diary of a Young
Girl, 1952
In seizing the moments of your life you extend their value and allow
each (MOMENT) to create magic. You see each (MOMENT) as a
miracle and know that within them lies the importance of life. Life is
not full of quantity time but full of quality time. It is up to each of us to recognize the quality within
each moment and to allow it to shine throughout our day. This alone will begin to change our world.
“Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to
solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never
return, and you may remain in ignorance.” William Wirt
‘In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look
around you.” Leo Tolstoy (1828 - 1910)
“Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.”
Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

Love & Respect
Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my boyfriend"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
Respect denotes both a positive feeling of esteem for a person or other entity (such as a nation or a religion), and also specific actions and conduct representative of that esteem. Respect can be a specific feeling of regard for the actual qualities of the one respected (e.g., "I have great respect for her judgment"). It can also be conduct in accord with a specific ethic of respect.
Attention is the most basic from of Love:
Through it we bless and are blessed
Love yourself first Self-criticism X
Self-doubt X Fear X Guilt X
Feeling discouraged X
Walk through these and you will gain
confidence to LoveYou gain the strength of the temptations you
resist
Love & Respect go hand in hand
One can’t be w.o the other
With love, see the true, magnificent value of what you have this day. With love, make it even greater.

ACCEPTANCE
“Deep down even the most hardened criminal is starving for the same thing that motivates the innocent baby: Love and acceptance”
• It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. Aristotle
“The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.”
"We can have more than we've got because we can become more than we are."
“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”
“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.”
“Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future.”
“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.”

FEAR
• “Video on Synthetic Happiness”• when we learn to accept things as they are we
find happiness. When we cease to strive for happiness in the future we find it in this moment. Getting what we want doesn't make us happy, being happy with what we have does. Craving causes misery, acceptance and peace makes us happy.
“Fear is faith that it won't work out.”
“Fear is the lengthened shadow of ignorance.”
“Fear has a large shadow, but he himself is small.”
FEAR:
F--FALSEE--EVIDENCEA--APPEARINGR--REAL
“Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. ”
“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”
“The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear - fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable. What he wants above everything else is safety. ”
Henry Louis Mencken
“There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.”
George S. Patton
“Fear is not our enemy. Fear may be good if understood.”
