All Heart February 26, 2008

A wise man once said,

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
- Confucius

I just had an amazing heart-warming conversation with someone today and as he spoke, his words overwhelmingly resonated deep in my core. There is much negativity going on all around us and it often clouds our judgment, but the above quotation reminds us of what is truly important. Our hearts speak in quiet yet powerful murmurs of truth, so whatever or whomever you may encounter today – go with all your heart.

An impulse to soar February 5, 2008

As the new Lunar year comes upon us, remember these words to face the present and enter the brave new world with both courage and daring….

“No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing”.
(Helen Keller)
