Buddha Quotations

A generous heart, kind speech and a life of service and compassion ar the things which renew humanity!

The true "way" cannot be used to look into the heart of another, and can only be appreciated and found on one's own. By Henry Chang

Dream Big, Stay Positive, & Believe...

Believe that there is a field of positive energy surrounding you, just waiting for you to engage it. Go play in this field. Embrace it. Give it a chance to empower you and to love you back. Believe the best of yourself and others. Be open o every important wish in your heart; be clear about your purpose. Don't let your dreams fall through the cracks. Fantasize. Play. Work. Set realistic goals. Give yourself every chance you deserve. Think "possible", not "impossible". Believe that life is on your side. Count every single blessing. Let yourself be moved to dance and sing and celebrate. Keep a joyful heart. go back to where you've been to understand yourself better, but don't stay in the past. Live each moment. Always smell the roses, but look ahead to where you're going and make good plans. Swing your arms. Skip your steps. Set yourself free from the don'ts. Enjoy. Believe. Life is good, and it's going to get better! -Donna Fargo

As You Reach for Your Dreams

May the days be good to you: comforting more than crazy and giving more often than taking. May the passing seasons make sure that any heartaches are replaced with a million smiles and that any hard journeys eventually turn into nice, easy mles that take you everywhere you want to go. May your dreams do their absolute best to come true. May your heart be filled with the kindness of friends, the caring of everyone you love, and the richness of memories you wouldn't trade for anything. May life's little worries always stay small. May you get a little closer every day to any goals you want to achieve. May any changes be good ones and any challenges turn out to be for the better. May you find time to do the things you've alway's wanted to do! And may you be happy...FOREVER! Author, Douglas Pagels

Remember What Is Most Important

It's not having everything go right;

it's facing whatever goes wrong.

It's not being without fear;

it's having the determination to go on in spite of it.

What is most important is not where you stand,

but the direction you are going in.

It's more than never having bad moments;

it's knowing you are always bigger than the moment.

It's believing you have already been given everything you need to handle life.

It's not being able to rise above them.

It's the belief in your heart that there will always be more good than bad in the world.

Remember to live just this one day and not add tomorrow's troubles to today's load.

Remember that every day ends and brings a new tomorrow full of exciting new things.

Love what you do, do the best you can, and always remember how much you are loved!

-Vickie M. Worsham

Hold your head high, walk proudly, and remember when you've done the best you can do, there is nothing anyone can say to take that away from you. Keep they song in your heart, and memorize it well. Play it over and over; soon others will take notice and look up to you. Some may even ask you for advice. You have what it takes to succeed. You're a person of integrity, wisdom, and faith. If nagging doubts ever enter your mind, the kind where you question if what you're doing is right, pause for a momet, close your eyes, and just do what you need to do...believe, believe, believe. --Kris Ackerman

Always Be True to Yourself and Your Dreams!

Be true to your dreams, and keep them alive. Never let anyone change your mind about what you feel you can achieve. Always believe in yourself!

Be true to the light that is deep within you. Hold on to your faith, hope, and joy for life. Keep good thoughts in your mind and good feelings in your heart. Keep love in your life, and you will find the love and light in everyone!

Be giving, forgiving patient, and kind. Have faith in yourself. Be your own best friend, and listen to the voice that tells you to be your best self!

Be true to yourself in the paths that you choose. Follow your talents and passions; don't take the roads others say you must follow because they are the most popular. take the paths where your talents will thrive - the ones that will keep your spirits alive with entusiasm and everlasting joy!

Most of all, never forget that there is no brighter light than the one within you. Keep on being true to yourself!

Follow Your Destiny, Wherever It Leads You

There comes a time in your life when you realize that if you stand still, you will remain at this point forever. You realize that if you fall and stay down, life will pass you by. Life's circumstances are not always what you might wish them to be. The pattern of life does not necessarily go as you plan. beyond any understanding, you may at time be led in different directions that you never imagined, dreamed, or designed. yet if you had never put any effort into choosing a path, or tried to carry out your dream, then perhaps you would have no direction at all. Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction your life has taken, accept the fact the direction your life has taken, accept that there is a path before you now. Shake off the "whys" and "what ifs", and rid yourself of confusion. Whatever was--is in the past. Whatever is --is what's important. The past is a brief reflection. The future is yet to be realized. Today is here. Walk your path one step at a time--with courage, faith, and determination. Keep your head up and cast your dreams to the stars. Soon your steps will become firm and your footing will be solid again. A path that you never imagined will become the most comfortable direction you could have ever hoped to follow. Keep your belief in yourself and walk into your new journey. You will find it magnificent, spectacular, and beyond your wildest imaginings. By Vicki Silvers

You CAN do Anything!

Don't look at where you are; just see how far you've come. We all make mistake sometimes, but don't stop now. The dawn is closer than you think. Yesterday will soon fade away, and every day is a brand-new beginning. Open your heart and receive all the love and hope so many people feel for you, as well as all their prayers. Never let go. never give up. the future is yours to decide. the pattern of your life is your for the making. Let your promise shine through. Give everything to you dreams; give luck a chance. You are stronger than you realize, brave than you may think... and loved more than you will ever know. Written by Linda E. Knight
