Fly Life on Free Wings, and Sing to its Glory. - jlh
Like a bird in flight, your life can soar above the troubles of the world. Breathe deep, choose, and break the shackles of your past.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.The fight is with life. Life is a constant opponent, and an overpowering adversary if attacked directly. The successful and happy ones dance lightly with life - a parry here, a feint there - always engaged, but never in the direct line of life's heaviest blows.
- Mark Twain
Self-respect is not a function of size, age, or wealth. Breathe deep, sing loud and sweet, "I am me, I am unique, I am magnificent."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.Spread your wings - TODAY. Why wait?

Life only"Oh my God!" we scream as our fragile serenity is overwhelmed by the impending vagaries of LIFE appearing as an unleashed Niagara Falls bearing down upon us.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.A great paradox of life is that while we must create plans for our future in order to live a joyful life, simultaneously, we must graciously accept whatever events life actually throws against us.
- Lao Tzu
Life is always lived in the eye-of-the-stormWhatever the challenges that actually confront any of us on a given day, the potential threats are always far greater. There are always an array of catastrophes overhanging our lives - wars, terrorists, hurricanes, earthquakes, escaped murderers, child molesters, and maybe a runaway asteroid. In comparison with what "could" happen, our lives are rather serene.

Try a new perspective on diversity. Across the country and around the world, we are all one.We are all "neighbors." Our world has gotten too small for us to be anything else. We can no longer have "us" and "them" - friends and enemies. A person from Iraq, or Russia, or Columbia is no more a stranger or enemy than a person from across town. A few people everywhere are troublemakers. Every religion provokes a few people to become extremists. Do we need police around the globe? Unfortunately, we always will. Do we need war? Does that question even deserve an answer?

Unsolicited Advice Is Always Meddling2. Even if the person has broadcast a request for help or advice, did they ask for MY advice? When someone is drowning, they will accept a life-ring thrown by a stranger, but advice is only appreciated if the asker fully trusts and respects the advisor.
If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.

You are Never Too Old to Give or Get Gold Stars.When I was very young, my mother gave me gold stars whenever I did something she liked. Usually they were small gold foil shapes with sticky backs, but Mother also saved some really big ones - three inches across - for extra-special accomplishments. Together with Mother's love, those stars made me feel special, important, and appreciated.

Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.This does NOT mean that life is meaningless or empty. Campbell's point is that we get to CHOOSE the meaning for our lives. Our lives mean exactly what we say they do - no more, no less. Each of us chooses their path in life.
– Joseph Campbell
