There is always enough.” by Lynne Twist The Soul Of Money

    Quote for Reflection "Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging but often barriers to it." - Tara Brach


    “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Gandhi - apparently this is not the real quote, but rather a summary! The real quote is:


    “We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”


    “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” Maya Angelou
