Positive Motivation and Momentum To Start 2011

2011 will offer many opportunities for change and challenges for both personal and professional growth.  As these opportunities and challenges enter our lives, it is helpful to maintain a balanced perspective towards the positive outcomes that are developed from creating sustainable change.  With this in mind, here are some thoughts to consider:

"The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for."

- Dostoyevsky

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds:  Your mind trancends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world.  Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed of yourself to be."

- Patanjali

"I expect to spend the rest of my life in the future so I want to be reasonably sure what kind of future it's going to be.  That is my reason for planning."

- C.F. Kettering

"People are like stained-glass windows.  They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."

- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

"I don't know what your destiny will be but one thing I know:  the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to server."

- Albert Schweitzer
