Tracks for Thoughts and Insights

Quotable Quote:

"When you get near people who are pursuing their heart's desire,

you can see the intensity in their face. 

Life is too short to live without that kind of focus."  

~ Barbara Sher, Author,

If I Only Knew What It was' ~

*  Most people are as happy as they make up their minds to be. It is not what happens to us in life that determines our happiness, so much as, the way we react to what happens. Happiness is a decision, not an event. 

Being creative

Ah, creativity! 

Let's look around our home. 

Notice some items just taking up space?
We can think of new uses for them.

Unlike driving, we can make the rules in life ... to avoid following other people's complicated plans unless we thoroughly understand and agree or prefer their logic.
Let's devise your own plan, whenever possible. 

* The spice of life is in doing new things, in forging something from our substance. 

"It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity;

they must have action and they will make it if they cannot find it." 

~Charlotte Bronte, Author~

"The price we pay for the complexity of life is too high. When you think of all the effort you have to put in - telephonic, technological and relational - and to alter even the slightest bit of behavior in this strange world we call social life, you are left pining for the straightforwardness of primitive peoples and their physical work."  ~ Jean Baudrillard,  French Sociologist, Philosopher and Cultural Theorist. ~
