Quotes I live by...

"I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe." ~Dalai Lama

"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." ~Dalai Lama

"You come into this planet knowing the Universal Truth. As you grow up you disconnect from the Universal Truth and inherit your family's belief system. Your parent's beliefs usually end up being the foundation of your beliefs. The foundation of this belief creates your restrictions. The Universe has no restrictions. You create the boundaries based on your beliefs. These boundaries limit your spiritual growth / inner development."

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child and smiling faces. Smell the rain and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential and fight for your dreams." ~ Ashley Smith

" The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning." ~Ivy Baker

"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." The Dalai Lama

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." ~Dr. Seuss

"I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe

"Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect -and I don't live to be- but before you start pointing fingers... make sure you hands are clean!" ~ Bob Marley

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." ~ AC Inc.
