The Road Ahead of Me

Thomas Merton

Beloved Creator, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me,
I cannot know for certain where it will end
Nor do I really know myself,and the fact that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this to you you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore I will trust you always
though I may seem to be lost
and in the shadow of death
I will not fear for you are with me
And you will never leave me to face my perils alone

Expectations

Fritz Perl

I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live
up to mine.

Getting Started

Author Unknown

No matter how intelligent or able you may be, if you don’t have a sense of urgency, now is the time to start developing it. The world is full of very competent people who honestly intend to do things tomorrow, as soon as they can get around to it. Their accomplishments, however, seldom match those of the less talented who are blessed with a sense of the importance of getting started now.

For What It's Worth

From The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

You'll Always Find It

Mike Dooley


If you just look for what's right - in others,
in relationships, in yourself and your journey -
you'll always find it.

The Only One

Author Unknown

Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.
