Grateful for another day

26 Jan
Today I am grateful for another day. I just read a sign that stated "Every day above ground is a good one!" Therefore I decided that I should be grateful for another day above ground.

Grateful for Quotations

19 Jan
Today I am grateful for all the millions of quotations that so succinctly describe the world as we know it. Last week's quotation went over big so I dug up another favorite for you:

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought."

Buddha

What does this mean to you? "Find your true weakness & surrender to it. #Feldenkrais

18 Jan

I am deeply moved by this quote and also find it easy to stay at the surface of it. 

"Find your true weakness and surrender to it. Therein lies the path to genius. Most people spend their lives using their strengths to overcome or cover up their weaknesses.

Those few who use their strengths to incorporate their weaknesses, who don't divide themselves, those people are very rare. In any generation there are a few and they lead their generation."   ~ Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais

How can we use this concept? What does it mean to you?

Think of the human body with all its manifold divisions

15 Jan

4   Think of the human body with all its manifold divisions. Which part of it does a man love best? Does he treat them all with equal affection, or does he have favorites? Don’t they all serve him equally? And do these servants then govern themselves, or are they subdivided into rulers and subjects? Surely there is some thing in charge that rules them all.

    But whether or not we ascertain its functions matters little to the thing itself. For coming into existence with my mortal body, its mandate will also terminate with the exhaustion of my body. To be harassed by the wear and tear of life, and to pass rapidly through it without possibility of arresting one’s course—is not this pitiful indeed? To labor without ceasing, and then, worn out and not living to enjoy the fruit, to depart, suddenly, to one knows not where—is not that a just cause for grief ?

Embrace the Challenge of Change

15 Jan
“One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.” 
― Martin Luther King Jr.
