“You embrace that which defines you.”

Find Your Groove
“Every human being has some handle by which he may be lifted, some groove in which he was meant to run; and the great work of life, as far as our relations with each other are concerned, is to lift each one by his own proper handle and run each one in his own proper groove.”
- Harriet Beecher Stowe
Cause and Effect
“Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect. A man
does not see, that, as he eats, so he thinks: as he
deals, so he is, and so he appears; he does not see
that his son is the son of his thoughts and of his
actions; that fortunes are not exceptions but fruits;
that relation and connection are not somewhere and
sometimes, but everywhere and always; no miscellany,
no exemption, no anomaly, but method, and an
even web; and what comes out, that was put in.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go for it!
“When you get the chance, go for it. You can’t accomplish anything worthwhile if you inhibit yourself.”
- Oprah Winfrey, p.230 O Magazine, July 2007
Paths We Take
“We have all been placed on this earth to discover our own path, and we will never be happy if we live someone else’s idea of life.”
- James Van Praagh
Barriers in Your Way
“Thinking back, I’ve realized that when barriers are put in front of you, it’s God or the universe asking you to remember who you are, and reminding you not to let yourself be defined by things outside of you.”
- Christine Ebersole, Actress and Tony Award winner
p. 77, O Magazine, June 2007
Living with the choices we make
“But what’s right at one time in our lives isn’t neccesarily appropriate later on.”
- Alexandra Stoddard
p. 190, Making Choices
Defining moments
“We all have defining moments. It is in these moments that we find our true characters. We become heroes or cowards; truth tellers or liars; we go forward or we go backward.”
- Robert T. Kiyosaki
Why We Want You to be Rich, p. 169
Life is a montage
“Life becomes a montage of strength and joy if you just use your talents to help others.”
- Sylvia Browne, Spiritual Connections
