Food For Thought for Wednesday, June 22,2011

I  have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly  because you tread on my dreams.
 W.B. Yeats

Go  confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the  life you have imagined.
 Henry David Thoreau

Every  great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember,  you have within you the strength, the patience, and  the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
 Harriet Tubman

Reach  high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep,  for every dream precedes the goal.
 Pamela Vaull Starr

Enthusiasm: A Blog Post

Love of Beauty, Ralph Waldo Emerson

Enthusiasm by Mars Dorian
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” is a great line from Emerson. If there’s no enthusiasm in what you do, it won’t be remarkable and certainly won’t connect with people on an emotional basis. But, if you put that magic energy into all of your work, you can create something that touches people on a deeper level. How can you bring MORE enthusiasm into your work? What do you have to think or believe about your work to be totally excited about it? Answer it now.

My work matters.  That is my mantra.  Before I had convinced myself that nothing  I did mattered to anyone.  That what I was doing was a waste of time, and now I realize that no one said that, but I was made to feel that way because some did not understand, others it was not meant for and the ones that appreciated it most told me infrequently.  I now realize that asking for constant compliments or feedback for what I do is foolish and counter productive and that just getting the projects done has become satisfaction enough and now in fact made me enthusiastic for what I do.

Food For Thought for Tuesday, June 21, 2011

Long after

Long after the kind word is spoken, the encouragement remains. Long after the good deed is done, the goodness lingers on.

Long after the moment passes, the joy continues. Long after the lesson is learned, wisdom keeps growing.

What you do in this moment brings value not only to this moment. Much of the value you create now can stay with you always.

The truth of who you are, and of what you do, accumulates as time goes on. That’s why staying focused on what’s truly important can bring such spectacular results.

The sooner you make the effort, the more its power can be multiplied. Value continues to build on top of value, so the best thing you can do right now is create some more of it.

Long after this moment is gone, you can be profoundly thankful for the way you lived it. This is your chance to make it count, now and long after.

— Ralph Marston
