Some philosophy from my friend Passim:
Refresh The Soul
Tears are never wasted. Tears refresh the soul.
The earth may look dry and barren, but just beneath
the surface lie tiny seeds, ready to germinate.
To be able to thrive they need love and tender care.
Think of tears as their irrigation; once the tears are shed, let them go.
Green shoots always appear after a shower of rain.
The soil is never too barren.
There is always something ready to grow and worth nurturing.
But left un-cared for, even new shoots will eventually wither and die.
So, re-fresh the soul and take time to grow.

ABRAHAM AND ESTER HICKS ~ Life Is Supposed To Feel Good
You would never be discouraged if you knew, as we do, that anything you want must be, and that all you have to do is line up with it. You would never be discouraged if you knew, as we do, that when contrast causes you to clarify a desire, that, in the moment of that clarification, even if you don’t speak words about it, Source immediately says yes to that desire and becomes one with that desire. So, there is no possibility whatsoever anywhere in this Universe that your desire is not being answered in the moment that you give birth to it. But if you don’t know that, if you’re still looking at the gap between your realization that you want it and your realization of the manifestation of it, then, because you have forgotten that it’s going to happen for sure, we can see how you might get discouraged. Feel the difference... READ THE REST

Kahlil Gibran's
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable

Are you a SNIOP? Someone who is Sensitive to the Negative Influence Of Others?
You can have anything in the world you want if you’ll just help enough other people get what they want.
People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.
RAINER MARIA RILKE
Do not believe that he who seeks to comfort you lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life has much difficulty... Were it otherwise he would never have been able to find those words.
JAMES THURBER
I used to wake up at 4 A.M. and start sneezing, sometimes for five hours. I tried to find out what sort of allergy I had but finally came to the conclusion that it must be an allergy to consciousness.
All human beings should try to learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why.
I loathe the expression "What makes him tick." It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.
JEAN PAUL SARTRE
We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.
ISAAC NEWTON
I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Did blind chance know that there was light and what was its refraction, and fit the eyes of all creatures after the most curious manner to make use of it? These and other suchlike considerations, always have, and always will prevail with mankind, to believe that there is a Being who made all things, who has all things in his power, and who is therefore to be feared.
