Opportunity ~ Oct. 11, 2011

A lot of great things today . . . even some blog posts in this post that weren't shared on facebook. I hope you will check them out.  

Quotes

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


You could wait for the world to invite you to the banquet and the ball. Or you could just show up in your red dress and your headdress ready to boogie. ~ Tama Kieves

If an opportunity scares you, that's God's way of saying you should jump at it. ~ Anna Quindlen

Change is a challenge and an opportunity, not a threat. ~ Prince Phillip of England


~ I like this one . . . Not a big fan of change, in fact, I tend to resist it. But, I'm also willing to admit that it is part of life; and that we are constantly changing.  My birds, however, really not big fans of change.  We received a stand up cage on wheels, that is a bit bigger than their other one.  Two of our birds have changed cages before so are adjusting nicely now, the other two . . . not so much.  We have had a bit of yelling and screaming I know they will settle in, but they, like a lot of us, are creatures of habit.  Our habits comfort us and help us feel like all is right in the world.

Life, death, and the hero within us all ~ "But I prefer to listen to the hero. And what I hear the hero say – in a moment when I am still, and quiet within – is this: “You are a spiritual being and you are alive forever more.”"

How to Give Yourself a Second Chance ~ It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between we fear . . . It’s like being between trapezes.  It’s Linus When his blanket is in the dryer. There is nothing to hold on to. ~ Marillyn Ferguson
