SUPA DUPA QUOTES
"Life is part positive and part negative. Suppose you went to hear a symphony orchestra and all they played were the little, happy, high notes? Would you leave soon? Let me hear the rumble of the bass, the crash of the cymbals, and the minor keys." -- Jim Rohn
"I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars." -- Og Mandino SUPA DUPA QUOTES
"Count your blessings. A grateful heart attracts more joy, love, and prosperity." - Cheryl Richardson

"The problem with people living dead-end lives is that they think dead-end thoughts. People who enjoy creative and successful lives think creative and successful thoughts -- and then follow up on those thoughts with positive action." - Bob Baker

On Dreams and Hard Work:
Without dreams we have no focus, no drive, like a sailboat with no wind... That can get VERY BORING!! Lose our dreams and we will lose our minds. We need dreams to strive towards. To reach our dreams, we must first overcome our fear of not succeeding. They who never took a chance, never had a chance. On Bringing Out The Best In People: To unlock hidden wisdom around you, we should learn to bring out the best in people. Genuine wisdom and good karma will envelop us if we learn to bring out the best in others. If we have an overconfident sarcastic attitude, we will receive twice the defense mechanisms, and half the wisdom out of the people in our lives. On Getting Angry: We are the only ones who LET ourselves become frustrated and angry. Reflection in confusion leads to a growing, progressive mind, anger in confusion leads to a frustrated, stagnant mind. Why avoid getting angry? It is the essence of spiritual and financial progression that's why!! Yes it is human nature to get angry. But it is the embracing of anger, or the non practicing of reflection rather than anger that is to blame for much of our worlds communication problems, and world wars. Anger and frustration is the number one deterrent to metal enlightenment and spiritual growth. Conversely, reflection and meditation is the key to progress. The style of reaction to frustration in ones life largely determines their spiritual and financial wealth. A humble and reflective attitude opens the doorways to our dreams in our lives. We must train our minds not to get angry, but rather to always have an open mind with the wisdom to see past the anger. Striving for tranquility and reflection in life is a life long process. This is the essence of an Open Mind. On Being Judgmental: We should STOP justifying our own walks of life as the RIGHT walk of life, and START developing appreciation for everything, and everyone in our life. The more kind and open minded we are to others regardless of differences = the more knowledge we obtain = the more friends and business networks we will acquire = the more spiritual and financial prosperity we will enjoy in our lives. "Judge not before you judge your self" If we can show people that we spread our love and attention around to all people equally, and have maximum respect for all cultures and walks of life, we will be rewarded with genuine positive karma, and financial and spiritual success. One should always have an open mind to all walks of life, at all times, and be respectful to all cultures. Have you ever noticed that the more time you spend developing an appreciation for something in life, the more respect you have for it? The same way works for people and cultures and just about everything in life. On Being an "Open Minded" Person: From the day we are born we drift farther and farther and away from the purely compassionate state of being as when we are were new borns. Life's trials and tribulations confuse and anger us - TEST US. Life is a test which sends us through a labyrinth of tribulation which brings anger and confusion which closes our minds to the bigger picture...which is learning to be kind and compassionate in the face of frustration. What matters most in life is learning to be compassionate and kind, ABOVE ALL! - for that determines ones success in this life, and the next. Sometimes many are led so far astray that they escape their anger and confusion, And hence are not allowed to pass on to the next life. They must pass through this world again until they learn this all important lesson. On Life Being Fleeting: Here is another reason for us to always be compassionate and nice to people and try and avoid ever getting angry. Life is fleeting, people are here today and gone tomorrow. If we are unkind to our brother, friend, mother, one hour. They could walk out the door and be out of your life (death). Sadly, it takes several of these lessons before people realize this concept. By realizing that people are here today and gone tomorrow, the practice of being kind and accepting to all lifestyles at every second of the day becomes much easier for us. People are here one day and gone the next. Learning to spread love around equally to peoples of all walks of life is very rewarding. On Being Thankful In/For Life: In the words of Gandhi: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever." BE THANKFUL. Realization of a Thankful mindset is key. How nice it is to just be alive, to be loved with family and friends, to have the sun and the ocean and all the basic things in life that we take for granted everyday. If we focus on giving thanks for these things everyday, life becomes much easier. On Respecting Your Parents: Our parents are owed a special respect, for they sacrificed their own progression to raise us. By sacrificing their own progression to raise us, they are owed total and complete respect. Communication problems must heal at the family level, otherwise world wars will always be on the horizon. Conclusion: Be not short or cynical of others, for everyone is equal in gods eyes, for they could be here today, and gone tomorrow, for everyone is learning and no one is perfect. for it is your own shortcoming of your own development and appreciation of other walks of life that is to blame. be responsive, optimistic and helpful at all times the fool will scoff and shun ignorance while holding his knowledge up high, while the wise will smile with enlightenment, and be able to use humor to bring realization to the ignorance, the key to an open mind is realizing that your knowledge is limited and your curiosity should be limitless only they who are perfect may cast the first stone, only they who are all knowing may pass judgment on others the only way to fight ignorance is through love, compassion, understanding, empathy and humor. be not overconfident in your own walk of life, for there are countless other lessons that you have yet to learn. The wisest people will realize the true meaning of unconditional love and respect for all people of all walks of life. The wisest people understand the power of humility, and how much there is to know and move forward with an inquiring mind, which is free of cynicism, and full of respect and empathy for everything and everyone around us.
