Thought of the Moment

If you haven't found something that brings you fulfillment, this just means that you haven't found it yet.  Keep searching with a hopeful heart until you do.

Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others...By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves.

- Gordon B. Hinckley

Let's say good bye to people who consistently hurt or try take advantage of us - when we send them light and send them off, we have more room in our hearts to carry people and causes we are genuinely fond of.  

It is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it. People will forgive mistakes, because mistakes are usually of the mind, mistakes of judgment. But people will not easily forgive the mistakes of the heart, the ill intention, the bad motives, the prideful justifying cover-up of the first mistake.

- Dr. Stephen Covey

You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.

- Eric Roth

There is no destination where we will feel like we've finally made it. If there is a universal answer to what brings fulfillment, it likely includes equal measures of working to help others and being grateful for what we have.

If you send out goodness from yourself, or if you share that which is happy or good within you, it will all come back to you multiplied ten thousand times. In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.

- John O'Donahue

People who are comfortable with themselves and who strive to be authentic and kind exude a special kind of beauty, one that doesn't fade with age.

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.

- Abraham Lincoln

I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

- Abraham Lincoln
