People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.

This is my wish for you:  Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.
    ―     Ralph Waldo Emerson
[Sarah, Happy Birthday!!
Congrats on your recent transfer / new job in New York City!  Despite the distance, you are never more than a memory (or phone call) away.  Reach out any time you feel lonely or miss home.  You’re never too far away from a virtual hug…
And another BIG congrats on completing your Master’s Degree program.  As always, we are very proud of you!!
Love Always,
Mum & Dad]

The vegetable life does not content itself with casting from the flower or the tree a single seed, but it fills the air and earth with a prodigality of seeds, that, if thousands perish, thousands may plant themselves, that hundreds may come up, that tens may live to maturity;  that, at least one may replace the parent.

There is no chance and anarchy in the universe.  All is system and gradation.  Every god is there sitting in his sphere.

[“When I works, I works hard.
When I sits, I sits loose.
And when I thinks, I falls asleep.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship;  it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.

Whatever you do, you need courage.  Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.  There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right.  To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs.  Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.

The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance.  Success comes from within, not from without.
