In a world of suffering, why should I feel so blessed?

Sometimes this man has lyrics that just cut to the core.  I know how you feel.

Sing on brother man, sing on.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

The old adage rings so true.  More than just changing our perspective on life, out mindset can change the focus, direction, events, and future of our life.

As true as it is, so often we decide in a moment that we can’t or don’t want to change, even if it would be the best thing for us to do.  So much change is possible in each moment.

Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.

As a big fan of working hard, I really like this quote, especially the part about turning up the sleeves!

Even the fear of death is nothing compared to the fear of not having lived authentically and fully.

This quote reminds me of the line in the Way of the Peaceful Warrior when Socrates points out that most people go through their entire lives without ever really waking up and living fully.

Elizabeth Aston remembered

Concern for someone else was a good remedy for taking the mind off one's own troubles.

In fact, it’s a sure way to not only taken your mind off your troubles, but to actually reduce the amount of troubles you will have in the future…

at least certain types of troubles.
