Hold Your Horses! Horsing around is Serious Business

Tucker the Horse 

A Horse of a Different Color

'The imagination is a palette of bright colors. 

You can use it to touch up memories ~ 

or you can use it to paint dreams.' 

Robert Brault

Seahorse Calm

Go Slow to Go Fast

'One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. 

He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. 

We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day 

but if we do each thing calmly and carefully 

we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.' 

Viggo Mortensen

Plum Tuckered Out

When Your Mind Rides Faster You Tire Quicker

'When a man's mind rides faster 

than his horse can gallop they both quickly tire.' 

John Webster

The Spirited Horse Encouraged

'The spirited horse, which will try to win the race 

of its own accord, will run even faster if encouraged.' 

Ovid

'A horse never runs so fast 

as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace.' 

Ovid

Flaming Enthusiasm

'Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, 

is the quality that most frequently makes for success.' 

Dale Carnegie

Ride Your Own Horse to the Finish Line

'You have got to decide, look, this is who I am; 

this is my best way to present myself, 

and I'm going to ride that horse to the finish line. 

Not everybody will like it, but that's OK.' 

Phil McGraw

 

Differences of Opinion Makes a Good Horse Race

'It is not best that we should all think alike; 

it is difference of opinion that makes horse races.' 

Mark Twain

A Weary Old Work Horse Loves Freedom

'A horse loves freedom, 

and the weariest old work horse will roll on the ground 

or break into a lumbering gallop when he is turned loose into the open.'  

Gerald Raferty

If you fall off a horse, you get back up

'It is not enough for a man to know how to ride; he must know how to fall.'  

Mexican Proverb

'I guess all songs is folk songs. I never heard no horse sing 'em.'

Ram Dass:Namaste~I Honor the Divine in You

Namaste means I honor the place in you 

where the entire Universe resides.

I honor the place of love, of light, of truth, of peace.

I honor the place within you 

where if you are in that place in you, 

and I am in that place in me, 

there is only one of us.

Ram Dass

Live in the garden of compassion 

I pledge to honor that place within you 

so together we can make the world a place 

of love, light, truth, and peace.

There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to touch an electric fence.

If you’re riding’ ahead of the herd, take a look back 

every now and then to make sure it’s still there.

Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier’n puttin’ it back.

There are two theories to arguing with women….neither work.

Even if you're on the right track, 

you'll get run over if you just sit there.

It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, 

it's what we know that ain't so.

may be the best thing for you 

if you don't let it get the best of you.

to do several fool things at once."

by doing fool things than by reading wise sayings."

Rumi: You are the Universe in Ecstatic Motion

Why should I be unhappy?

Every parcel of my being is in full bloom. 

Rumi

Everyone has been made for some particular work,

and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.

Rumi

Forget safety.

Live where you fear to live.

Destroy your reputation.

Be notorious.

When you do things from your soul,

you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

Rumi

Stop acting so small.

You are the universe

in ecstatic motion.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: The Earth Laughs in Flowers--But Why?

The earth laughs in flowers...

But what are they laughing about?

We think we own the earth, but the earth knows 

It is she who owns and rules us. LOL!

She endures long after we're gone.

Why Emerson says the Earth Laughs in Flowers

The Earth Song 

        ‘Mine and yours;

        Mine, not yours.

        Earth endures;

        Stars abide—

        Shine down in the old sea;

        Old are the shores;

        But where are old men?

        I who have seen much,

        Such have I never seen.

        ‘They called me theirs,

        Who so controlled me;

        Yet every one

        Wished to stay, and is gone,

        How am I theirs,

        If they cannot hold me,

        But I hold them?’

Why the Earth Laughs in Flowers

“I have now given you a summary account of the sovereigns of the earth.—These and other kings who with perishable frames have possessed this ever-during world, and who, blinded with deceptive notions of individual occupation, have indulged the feeling that suggests ‘This earth is mine,—it is my son’s,—it belongs to my dynasty,’—have all passed away. 

So, many who reigned before them, many who succeeded them, and many who are yet to come, have ceased or will cease to be. 

Earth laughs, as if smiling with autumnal flowers to behold her kings unable to effect the subjugation of themselves." 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Get Busy Living~and Laugh with the Flowers

'Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild

air.'   Ralph Waldo Emerson

 'Write it on your heart that 

every day is the best day in the year.'

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 'Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.'

Life Dealt You a Blow? Don't Belittle Yourself, Be BIG Yourself

'Your problem is you're too busy holding onto your unworthiness.' 

Ram Dass

Life Dealt You a Blow? 

When life deals you a blow sit in it until you're ready to move on. When you're ready, dig deep to get out of the fear and self-doubt immobilizing you. 

Rediscover your ability to ask for help as you pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Our strength comes from both accepting help from others as well as from taking action. It takes a BIG person to ask for help and also to step into action when they're full of fear and self-doubt. Find your BIG self.

Move confidently~with strength and conviction~in the direction of your dreams one step at a time.

Let it go and move on

'Don't belittle yourself. 

Be BIG yourself.'
