“However, I also want to say this. The ranch standoff that took place out in Nevada was not about a man named Cliven Bundy. At the heart of this issue was my belief that our government is simply out of control. Now, to me, this was about a federal agency’s dangerous response to a situation that could have resulted in a catastrophe, and that means people dying and people being shot, kind of comparable to what we saw in Waco, Texas.” PeopleMenWantHeartKindMeanGovernmentBeliefSituationIssuesSawsDyingDangerousShotsResponseAgencyTexasCatastropheMean PeopleNevadaPeople DyingStandoffs Author:Sean Hannity
“I never have held death in contempt, though in the course of my explorations I have oftentimes felt that to meet one's fate on a noble mountain, or in the heart of a glacier, would be blessed as compared with death from disease, or from some shabby lowland accident. But the best death, quick and crystal-pure, set so glaringly open before us, is hard enough to face, even though we feel gratefully sure that we have already had happiness enough for a dozen lives.” LifeFeelsHeartHardEnoughWould BeFacesCoursesFeltFateDyingGratitudePureMountainDiseaseBlessedAccidentsNobleExplorationContemptDozenCrystalsBeing BlessedGlaciersShabby Book:John Muir: His Life and Letters and Other Writings Source: John Muir: His Life and Letters and Other Writings
“What if, instead of being afraid of even talking about death, we saw our lives in some ways as preparation for it. What if we were taught to ponder it and reflect on it and talk about it and enter it and rehearse it and try it on?What if, rather than being cast out and defined by some terminal category, you were identified as someone in the middle of a transformation that could deepen your soul, open your heart, and all the while-even if and particularly when you were dying-you would be supported by and be part of a community?” IfsWayTryingHeartSoulWould BeCommunityTalkingSawsOur LivesMiddleDyingTaughtTransformationCastsDefinedPreparationYour SoulWhat IfCategoriesPonderingBeing AfraidOpen Your HeartTerminalIfs And Author:Eve Ensler
“In each of us lies sleeping beauty, wasted potential, dying dreams. We sleep and live in dormant twilight, never knowing what it means to live, to love the bits of heaven that we can unearth deep in our hearts; not recognizing that our salvation is ever-present in those parts that we have disowned, denied, forgotten. The thorns of fear thwart faint attempt. The prince is courage, the kiss believing and then with these our life begins.” BelieveHeartMeanDreamLyingHeavenBitsSleepKnowingOur LivesDyingKissingSalvationForgottenDeniedTwilightRecognizingThornsDormantSleeping Beauty Author:Kay Thompson

“Boredom has to be the most life sapping, mental disease you can be afflicted with.The most accurate definition of boredom I have ever heard is this - Boredom is the absence of a creative idea. But there is a simple cure - begin to think immediately of a better way to do something. The creative juices are within you but you must turn on the tap. Those who are bored are not living; they are dying. When their heart stops beating, it will be a mere formality. The best way to do anything has never been thought of. Get on a creative improvement kick and jar others mentally into the same activity.” ThinkingWayHeartIdeasTurnsSimpleCreativeHeardDyingActivityDiseaseMereDefinitionsAbsenceImprovementBest WayCuresBoredKicksBoredomAccurateWithin YouJuiceTurn-onBetter WaysJarsCreative IdeasFormalityCreative Juices Author:Bob Proctor
