Thoughts to ponder over...

1. "The world is a looking glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, an it is a jolly , kind companion." Thackeray 'Vanity Fair'
   
   
2. "There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go." Tennessee Williams
   
   
3. "One-half of knowing what you want is knowing what you must give up before you get it." Sidney Howard
   
   
4. "All changes have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die one life before we can enter unto another." Anatole France
   
   
5. "What if no one's watching? What if when we're dead, we are just dead? What if it's just us down here? What if God is just an idea someone put in your head?" Ani DiFranco, "What If No One's Watching"
   
   
6. "It is curious how silly trivial things, sometimes for no apparent reason, become signifigant. At first you laugh at these things, you think they are of no importance, you go on and you feel that you haven't got the strength to stop yourself....And so it seems to me that if I die, I shall take part in life one way or another."Anton Chekhov , The Three Sisters
   
   
7. You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. Richard Bach
   
   
8. "Nothing just happens. You choose it to happen."Dr. Judy Kuriansky
   
   
9. “When we put up with any situation that we don't have to put up with, it's not because we're dumb. We put up with it because we want the lesson that only that situation can teach, and we want it more than freedom itself.” Richard Bach
   
   
10. "I know that the journey is never what we plan for; it's what happens between the lines."-Mary Morris, Nothing to Declare
    
    
11. Poor Fletch. Don't believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you'll see the way to fly.'' Richard Bach
    
    
12. Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you know that every moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart.
