“You have to have a habitual vision of greatnesssssss. You have to believe in fact that you refuse to settle for mediocrity. You won’t confuse financial security with your personal integrity. You won’t confuse your success with your greatness or your prosperity with your magnanimity…..You have to have a vision of something that is luring you all the time that for something grander than you….[What is] the quality of your service to others? Do you find joy in your service to others? Do you actually believe in fact that living is connected to giving?
Now some people may not believe in that. I’m the hedonistic narcissistic individualist type. That’s just not who I am. I am not into that kinda stuff. I say that’s fine, that’s fine. I chose to attempt to pursue this role.
Tienes que tener una visión habitual de grandeza. Tienes que creer en el hecho de que te niegues a conformarte con mediocridad.No confundas seguridad económica con tu integridad personal. No confundas tu éxito con tu grandeza o tu prosperidad con tu magnanimidad…Tienes que tener una visión de algo que te esté atrayendo a algo más grande que tu…[¿Qué es] la cualidad de tu servicio a otros? ¿Encuentras alegría en tu servicio a otros? ¿Realmente crees en el hecho que vivir está conectado a dar?
Quizás alguna gente no crea en esto. Soy del tipo individualista, hedonista y narcisista. Eso no es lo que soy. No me interesan esas cosas. Te digo – está bien, está bien. Yo escojo tratar de seguir este tipo de vida.

Siempre se puede hacer frente a la AHORA, pero nunca se puede hacer frente a el futuro - y no tienes que hacerlo. La respuesta, la fuerza, la correcta accion o el recurso estaran alli cuando lo necesitas, no antes, no despues.

“When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.
The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits - islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides.

“People come into your life for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you
will know what to do for each person.When someone is in your life for a REASON … It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.What we must realise is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON …
Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount
of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

35 notes“You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book (Lady Chatterley, for instance), or you take a trip, or you talk with Richard, and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death.”
