In The End

it’s not the years in your life that count.

It’s the life in your years.

– Abraham Lincoln

Each Day

Don’t judge each day

by the harvest you reap

but by the seeds that you plant.

-Robert Louis Stevenson 

One Way To Happiness

There is only one way to happiness

and that is to cease worrying about things

which are beyond the power of our will.

– Epictetus 

Tomorrow

Yesterday is not ours to recover,

but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.

– Lyndon B. Johnson

Living Every Minute

Happiness cannot be traveled to,

owned, earned, worn or consumed.

Happiness is the spiritual experience

of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

– Denis Waitley

Goals

What you get by achieving your goals

is not as important as what you become

by achieving your goals.

– Henry David Thoreau

Your Limits

Know your limits,

but never stop trying to exceed them.

~Author Unknown

The Essence Of Life

Soon silence will have passed into legend.

Man has turned his back on silence.

Day after day he invents machines and devices

that increase noise and distract humanity

from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation…

tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing,

whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego.

His anxiety subsides.

His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation.

~Jean Arp

All The Same

The tears of the red, yellow, black, brown

and white man are all the same.

~Martin H. Fischer

Drink It In

There will be times

when you will be in the field without a camera.

And, you will see the most glorious sunset

or the most beautiful scene that you have ever witnessed.

Don’t be bitter because you can’t record it.

Sit down, drink it in, and enjoy it for what it is!

~DeGriff
