38 Life Lessons I've Learned in 38 Years ~ 11. You can’t motivate people. The best you can hope for is to inspire them with your actions. People who think they can use behavioral “science” or management techniques have not spent enough time on the receiving end of either. Via Zen Habits

Quotes from other FB pages

TODAY
This day is a special day, it is yours.
Yesterday slipped away, it cannot be filled anymore with meaning.
About tomorrow nothing is known.
But this day, today, is yours, make use of it.
Today you can make someone happy.
Today you can help another.
This day is a special day, it is yours.

Vijaya Samarawickama, A Buddhist Reflects on Happy Living, 2004

Rise Above Negativity ~ Anything can change in an instant. Why not expect and believe that good things will happen? Why not believe that the world is changing for the better? We can’t see the whole picture. We don’t know what anything is for.  We do know that our perception influences our relationships, our actions, and our lives. Choose to see things differently.  Expect a miracle. 

How to Find Your Passion in the Next 5 Minutes ~ We all try to muddle our instincts. We second-guess our gut, our heart, and the personal knowledge-base that we spent years accruing. Possibly we have too much information at our fingertips. We think that there’s some other ‘thing’ outside of ourselves we could be doing.

Forget About Finding Your Passion ~ Our passions appear to us when we clear away everything that inhibits their expression. Do you have a picture in your mind about what your work life should, and shouldn’t, look like? Do you let fear hold you back? Our job is not to find our passion, but to find all the barriers within ourselves that keep us from realizing it. One by one, as these are seen and laid to rest, there is space for your life, your gifts to shine through naturally.

Quotes

Your work is to discover your work and then, with all your heart, to give yourself to it. ~ Buddha 

“If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.”

~ T. Alan Armstrong

Quotes

Be true and sincere and loving in your human relationships. ~ White Eagle

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Enter the day invigorated with the essence of possibility, go through it energized with a sense of purpose and joy and end it with the serenity of completion. ~ Darina Stoyanova

Tiny Wisdom: On the Joy of Mistakes ~ Today if you feel limited by the fear of making a mistake, remind yourself: This is part of the process, and you will ultimately feel happier with yourself if you find the courage to stick with it.

Tiny Wisdom: On Seeing ~  Today if you find yourself clinging to a negative story about a person or situation, ask yourself: What’s the payoff in holding onto this interpretation? Does it make you feel right? Or justified? Or safe? And more importantly: How might you be able to improve your state of mind or situation if you chose to see things differently?

The Flip Side ~ You can't have success unless you're prepared to have failure.

Quotes

One of the basic points is kindness.  With kindness, with love and compassion, with this feeling that is the essence of brotherhood, sisterhood, one will have inner peace. ~Dalai Lama

That best portion of a good man's life,-his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. ~ William Wordsworth

No kind action ever stops with itself.  One kind action leads to another.  Good example is followed.  A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.  The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves. ~ Amelia Earhart

Tiny Wisdom: On Simple Confidence ~   Confidence comes from knowing your competence but acknowledging it’s not solely responsible for creating your world. When you take that weight off your shoulders and realize that sometimes the twists and turns have nothing to do with what you did or should have done, it’s easier to feel confident in what you bring to the table.

3 Causes for Judging People (and How to Accept Yourself) ~  Rather than unconsciously delighting in the ego gratification of judging others, you let your reactions and judgments help you achieve greater self-understanding—and accordingly, greater happiness and success.

"Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are." Rachel Naomi Remen ~ Via The Illuminated Lotus

 

Remember that scene in The Jungle Book where Baloo starts singing:

"...You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene..."

Johnny Mercer ~ Via Inspirology
