Failure is one of life's most powerful teachers. How we handle our failures determines whether we're going to simply get by in life or press on.
(Beth Moore, in 100 Days Of Prayer For Women, p. 31)

... it takes a close call before most people will put the emphasis in their lives on the sense of purpose and meaning.
(Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, The Sky's The Limit, p. 322)

The course of our lives is seldom determined by great, life-altering decisions. Our direction is often set by the small day-to-day choices that chart the track on which we run. This is the substance of our lives - making choices.
(Gordon B. Hinckley, Stand A Little Taller, 2 January)

Going Through The Motions

You cannot have a sense of purpose and meaning in your life if you are merely going through the motions of your life rather than living as you would really like to.
(Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, The Sky's The Limit, p. 342-3)

Get It While You Can

For some people, buying certain things has become a little too easy, resulting in debts and/or clutter. This is not just a problem of the affluent, as even the impoverished may go overboard at yard sales and thrift shops.
(Cindy Glovinsky, Making Peace With The Things In Your Life, p. 26-27)

Giving yourself ... permission to try out new experiences, to take risks and, most importantly, to do the things which you feel are significant, regardless of how others view them, will give you more and more meaning in your everyday life.
(Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, The Sky's The Limit, p. 324)

Life

[Life,] ... incident follows incident helter-skelter leading apparently nowhere, but then once in a while there is the suggestion of purpose, meaning, direction, the suggestion of plot, the suggestion that, however clumsily, your life is trying to tell you something, take you somewhere. (Frederick Buechner, Listening To Your Life, 30 March) 30 March 2013

Words

A word is an expression of thoughts; thoughts are the expression of divine force. Therefore, words should correspond to our true meaning. Speech can be indifferent, but it should not be an expression of evil. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 6 November) 12 December 2012

New Ideas

I am never too old to explore new ideas.  My association with others will have new meaning today. (Karen Casey, Keepers Of The Wisdom, 20 January)
