Having a role model in life is a great thing to have; one who provides us with direction and inspiration.
However, we will forever be restricted by that person's limitations if we live within their boundaries.
Be influenced, but set your own standards and develop your own principals,
if you are ever to live beyond someone else's dreams.

Quotes of today
Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. - Robert Fulghum
Problems arise in that one has to find a balance between what people need from you and what you need for yourself”- Anonymous
Do not think of your fault; still less of others' faults. Look for what is good and strong and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.

Mistakes and forgiveness
I have done many mistakes in my life that I´m not very proud of.
But I have to forgive myself and also hope that God can forgive me for the trespasses.
I know God forgive me but it´s harder to forgive myself, it takes time.
I don´t want to do mistake but I did because I didn´t know better at this point in life.
Also we grow thrue our mistakes, when we feel guilt we know what we did was not good for ourself or another person and then we try to change our behaviour to try to do better the next time.
But who decide by the way what is a mistake?
Me, you or God?
I think it is that only we ourself know when we did a mistake,
because we feel guilt and that we could have done things in a better way.
So we can say that we evolve thrue mistakes.
Like on Earth today, we are desolate rainforests and do many more things that is not good for ourself or the Earth.
So it´s time to take a good look at ourself and have the insight that we can do better then what we do now.
We can always improve (I believe anyway).
But also forgive ourself for our mistakes, we all do mistakes.
I also think I´m not done yet with doing mistakes (I think we never are),
but I will learn from them and then move on a little bit wiser ;-)
I hope we can make this world a better place for all of us, by learning thrue our mistakes.
A quote about forgiveness:
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” - Lewis B Smedes

Quotes of today by Carl Jung
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Carl Jung
The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.
Carl Jung
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
Carl Jung, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections", 1962
Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking.
The one is the shadow of the other.
Carl Jung, "On the Psychology of the Unconciousness", 1917

quotes about rest
Live where your Passion finds a purpose, effort is just another word for Joy, and rest is the only distraction you allow .
Laura Teresa Marquez
Source: Early Morning Conversation
Those who awaken never rest in one place.
Like swans, they rise and leave the lake.
On the air they rise and fly an invisible course.
Their food is knowledge.
They live on emptiness.
They have seen how to break free.
Who can follow them?
Buddha (563 - 483 BC)
Source: Dhammapada
The saying goes, 'The sage rests, truly rests and is at ease.' This manifests itself in calmness and detachment, so that worries and distress cannot affect him, nothing unpleasant can disturb him, his Virtue is complete and his spirit is not stirred up.
Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)
Source: The Book of Chuang Tzu (Arkana S.), Page: 130
When it's new and important, you have to rest in between times.
And anyway, even when I like a person there is a weariness that comes.
I can be with someone and everything is fine and then all of a sudden it can wash over me like a sickness, that I need the quiet of my own self.
I need to unload my head and look at what I've got in there so far.
See it.
Think what it means.
I always need to come back to being alone for awhile.
I guess I sort of got used to it when I was younger and now it's mixed in my character like eggs in a cake.
Sometimes I wonder, does this mean I'll have to be a nun or something?

Quotes of today
Albert Einstein:
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
C. Wright Mills:
Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them -- and then, the opportunity to choose.
Carl Shurz:
If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
Elizabeth Gilbert:
To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful "magic skills" that human beings are capable of. It has been noted by almost every ancient wisdom tradition.
Gladys Taber:
A garden is evidence of faith. It links us with all the misty figures of the past who also planted and were nourished by the fruits of their planting.
Eric Hoffer:
The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
Martin Luther King, jr.:
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

inspiration quotes
The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time,
influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has.
The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them,
he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.
~Hamilton Wright Mabie~
Commitment leads to action.
Action brings your dream closer.
~Marcia Wieder~
The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger,
but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.
~Robert Cushing~
Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow.

That's the thing about love and romance—
no one can predict where it will take you.
Love will fill your heart, break your heart and
then heal the heart that's broken.
~ Robert Fulghum
One makes mistakes; that is life.But it is never a mistake to have loved.
~ Romain Rolland
There's no such thing as puppy love. Love is love, no matter what your age
And we all suffer from its loss.
~ Laura Ramirez
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the
presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
~ Helen Keller
When one door closes, another opens
but we often look so long and regretfully
upon the closed door that we do not seethe one which has opened for us.
~ Alexander Graham Bell
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things.
~Paul (A.D. First Century) 1 Corinthians 13:4-7~
"It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and a lifetime to forget them."
