a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past. Sometimes the
greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn't what you get for it, but
what you become for it. Shake things up today! Be You...Be Free...Share.”

Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
“Over
the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not
success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and
power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often
comes from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to
self-rejection. When we have come to believe in the voices that call us
worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily
perceived as attractive solutions. The real trap, however, is self-rejection.
As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left
alone, or abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again
that I am a nobody." ... [My dark side says,] I am no good... I deserve to
be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned. Self-rejection is the
greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice
that calls us the "Beloved." Being the Beloved constitutes the core
truth of our existence.”

“Renew,
release, let go. Yesterday’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back.
You can’t “should’ve” done something. You can only DO something. Renew
yourself. Release that attachment. Today is a new day!”

“I've
come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a
fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and
then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and
also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you. ”
