Without purpose, life is but a breeze. Most people live...in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness...much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into losing and moving only his little finger. Life is 10 percent things that happens to you and 90 percent how you react to the 10 percent. Dr. Carl Rogers- If I were to search for the central core of difficulty in people as I have come to know them, it is that in the great majority of cases, they despite themselves, regarding themselves as worthless and unlovable. According to St Augustine, "Seek not abroad, turn back into thyself, for in the inner person dwells the truth". What lies beyond us and what lies before us are tiny matters when compared to what lies within us - Ralph Waldo Emerson So irrespective of one's trials in life, remember that we make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.
