Quotes From The Road #164

“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 blooming outside our windows today.”
Dale Carnegie, 1888-1955: Author, Lecturer, Self-Improvement Pioneer
“There’s an irony to this habit of letting your mind drift to other times and other places. You can only drift off in the now, because now is all you ever get. So drifting off is a way of using up your present moments. You do indeed have a past, but not now! And, yes, you have a future, but not now! You can consume your now with thoughts of “then” and “maybe,” but that will keep you from the inner peace you could experience.”
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer: Spiritual Teacher & Author

Quotes From The Road #163
September 23, 2011
“When you say or think anything resembling There’s nothing I can do; my life has spun out of control, and I’m trapped, that’s what you’ll attract – that is, resistance to your highest desires! Every thought of frustration is like purchasing a ticket for more frustration. Every thought that agrees that you’re stuck is asking for the Universe to send you even more of that glue to keep you stuck.”
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer: Self Development Author & Speaker

Quotes From The Road #162
September 16, 2011
“The pieces of a chariot are useless
Unless they work in accordance with the whole.
A man’s life brings nothing
Unless he lives in accordance with the whole universe.
Playing one’s part
In accordance with the universe
Is true humility.”
From verse thirty-nine of the Tao Te Ching
“The universe holds its breath as we choose, instant by instant, which pathway to follow; for the universe, the very essence of life itself, is highly conscious. Every act, thought, and choice adds to a permanent mosaic; our decisions ripple through the universe of consciousness to affect the lives of all.”

Quotes From The Road #161
September 9, 2011
“Stress is inevitable. Problems are never ending. Failures and disappointments happen to everyone, all the time. The only thing over which you have any control is how you respond to these stressful events. If you respond in a positive, constructive way, you will maintain a generally positive attitude. When your mind is calm and clear, you will be more creative and alert. You will be more likely to see more ways to solve your problems, and keep moving toward accomplishing your goals.”
Brian Tracy: from Change Your Thinking Change Your Life
“It isn’t life’s events, but how one reacts to them and the attitude that one has about them, that determines whether such events have a positive or negative effect on one’s life, whether they’re experienced as opportunity or stress.”
David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D. from Power VS. Force

Quotes From The Road #160
September 2, 2011
“Each problem has hidden within it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity.”
Joseph Sugarman: Legendary Marketing Entrepreneur
“The opportunity that is concealed within every crisis does not manifest until all the facts of any given situation are acknowledged and fully accepted. As long as you deny them, as long as you try to escape from them or wish that things were different, the window of opportunity does not open up, and you remain trapped inside the situation, which will remain the same or deteriorate further.”
Eckhart Tolle: Spiritual Teacher & Author
