When life gives you lemons... ... make lemonade!

"Cease your complaining and fretting. The cause is in yourself, and where the cause is, there is the remedy. ...Alter your outlook on life, and your outward life will alter."
~James Allen

Check out Alex Boye's song "Lemonade" based off of the proverbial phrase: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

Your life...

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone elses' life.

Don't be trapped by dogmaa- which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

Don't Let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Everything else is secondary.

~Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

Sad or Happy

If you want to be sad, no one

in the world can make you be happy.

But if you make up your mind

to be happy, no one and nothing on earth

can take that happiness from you.

~Paramhansa Yogananda

author of Autobiography of Yogi

Don't Give Up

Don't ever give up. Don't ever give in. Don't ever stop trying. Don't ever sell out. And if you find yourself succumbing to one of the above for a brief moment, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer, and start where you left off. But never, ever, ever give up.

Happiness

Happiness is not in our circumstances, but in ourselves.  It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of the fire.  Happiness is something we are.

~John B. Sheerin
