You are not your mind. You, a Spiritual BEing,
are neither your mind nor your body.
Mind and body are your tools - to use as you choose.
Sometimes your body appears to have a will of its own,
as when it twitches or pains.
Likewise, your mind often appears to have its own will.
That incessant chattering of regret, disappointment, guilt,
shame, foreboding, worry, and fear
is your Rattlesnake Mind striking off on its own.

that knows not victory or defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt
Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation

It does not exist in nature,

Avoiding danger is no safer
in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

a nation of philosophers,

All men and women are born, live, suffer and die;
what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams,
whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things,
and what we do to make them come about.
We do not choose to be born.
We do not choose our parents.
We do not choose our historical epoch,
the country of our birth,
or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing.
We do not, most of us, choose to die;
nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death.
But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.
- Joseph Epstein
Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down

is not to despair the future nor indict the past.
The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies

because you have lived,

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;

Hugs when spirits sag,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
- Anonymous
