Everything. We need more people with a vision and voice like this in our world.

You don’t have to change the world. You just have to change yourself.

Happiness and success in life are not the result of what we have, but rather of how we live. What we do with the things we have makes the biggest difference in the quality of life.
Jim Rohn -
When I was a young writer, I was talking to an old painter one day about how he came to paint his canvases. He said that he never knew what the completed picture would look like, but he could usually see one quadrant. So he’d make a stab at capturing what he saw on the canvas of his mind, and when it turned out not to be even remotely what he’d imagined, he’d paint it over with white. And each time he figured out what the painting wasn’t, he was one step closer to finding out what it was.

A Stranger’s Prayer
What is it about a stranger’s prayer that is so powerful? If you’re going through one of those troubled times in your life, a friend’s word of advice and encouragement are always beneficial. When you tell a stranger your problems and he/she becomes a selfless helping hand, it triggers an emotional part of you that can’t be described by words.
I can vouch for that, for I received a heartfelt prayer from a stranger today at church. Again, I’m not preaching or pushing religion onto anyone, but simply sharing the wonders that a community like this brings. I let my heart out to this stranger and told him the problems that have been troubling me the past few weeks. After he took the time to hear my story, he dove deep into his heart and spoke some wise words of wisdom. To my surprise, he told me everything I needed to hear to bring joy, confidence, and peace to my heart. He didn’t completely solve the problem, but he gave me the jump-start that I needed.
I’m all smiles at this moment and want to keep it going. Oh man—life is crazy, but we all find different ways to solve our problems and move forward. If all else fails, try seeking advice or a prayer from a stranger. I promise it’ll help. -
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon—instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
Dale Carnegie -
There are only two emotions in this world: fear and love. Everything feared cannot be loved and everything loved cannot be feared.

An honest attempt to organize my contemplative thoughts into one collective idea.
