Another Powerful Lesson from our Canine friends

Blog quote #1169... 
"A dog owns nothing, yet seldom is dissatisfied."- Irish Proverb-  

Another one of those deceivingly short quotes, whose importance and relevancy could slip by easily if not given the respect and time to truly ponder. Take a moment to absorb what this message is trying to convey. 

Quite powerful.

On Excellence...

Blog quote #1168... 
"You are what you repeatedly do. Therefore, excellence should be a habit, not an act."- Aristotle-  

This one speaks for itself. Provide excellence--in all you do. Period.

What do Coats and Good Friends have in common?

Blog quote #1167... 
"My coat and I live comfortably together. It has assumed all my wrinkles, does not hurt me anywhere, has moulded itself on my deformities, and is complacent to all my movements, and I only feel its presence because it keeps me warm. Old coats and old friends are the same thing."- Victor Hugo, writer 1802-1885-  

Love this sageness from a man who was born over 200 years ago.Here's hoping that you have a handful of good friends, and faithful favorite coats!

On Being Independent...

Blog quote #1166... 
"In all things, be willing to listen to people around you. None of us is really smart enough to go it alone." -John Clendenin, teacher-   

While some of us get in that superhero mindset at times, the facts are as Mr. Clendenin  states above. As good as we are, everyone needs help. No one on this planet is independent. 

Thanks for the quality reminder, John.

When seeking good ideas; do this...

Blog quote #1165... 
"If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.." -Raymond Inman-   

Personal experience will say we agree with this statement. Worst case scenario- you get out with nature, some fresh air and a wee bit of exercise. Even if the angels are being  stingy, there's plenty of other benefits to go along with a gentle stroll.

With that stated, keep your ears and mind open. The angels like to delight...

Who are the happiest people?

Blog quote #1164... 
"The happiest people are not the ones who have everything. The happiest people are those who are thankful for what they DO have." -Ruth Urban 1914-2009 -   

There is something about gratitude and appreciation that gives us a warm heart. On the flip side, those always looking to attain more have this tired feeling of no matter how much is accumulated, it's never satisfying. Not good enough. That gets mentally draining. 

We suggest to give thanks for what we have, versus dwelling on what's not in our possession. And then, you will possess one of the greatest things to hold- that of joy and contentment. Aahhhhh...

Life's Best Prize

Blog quote #1163... 
"The best prize life offers is the chance to work hard, at work worth doing." -Teddy Roosevelt-   

Something refreshing about diving into work that you are excited about, proud of, and  willing to stamp your signature on. Work that matters and makes a difference in people's lives. 

Perhaps, even go so far as calling it exhilarating?
