My Favorite Goethe Quote

Thanks to Thea Westra of  www.forwardsteps.com.au for reminding me of it 

     "Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffective.
Concerning all acts of initiative there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills 
countless ideas and endless plans. 
     That the moment one definitely commits oneself then
providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise 
have occurred. A whole stream of events issue from the decision, raising in one's favour
all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings, and material assistance which  no man could have dreamed would come his way.
     Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius power and magic in it.
Begin it now"

 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Which kind of Person are You?

"There are three kinds of people:
The first kind make things happen
The second kind watch what happens
The third kind say: What Happened"
 - Christopher Westra

I read this just before going for my morning walk; It is a beautiful sunny 65 degree day here in New Orleans.
Thank you God.
"Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!  Look to this Day!For it is Life, the very Life of Life.  In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence. The Bliss of Growth,The Glory of Action,The Splendor of Beauty;For Yesterday is but a Dream,And To-morrow is only a Vision;But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.  Look well therefore to this Day!Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!"- Kalidasa

Namaste

ACHIEVING SUCCESS

"Creative risk taking is essential to success in any goal where the stakes are high. Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity."

Winter Cleaning

     So, the closets are cleaned out and the Office is much more organized.  Just have one desk to go to have the office spiffy.  
     Realizing that my outer world is a reflection of my inner world, this must mean that my inner world is becoming more clean and free.
Namaste
