“In the long run it makes little difference how cleverly others are deceived; if we are not doing what we are best equipped to do, or doing well what we have undertaken as our personal contribution to the world's work, at least by way of an earnestly followed avocation, there will be a core of unhappiness in our lives which will be more and more difficult to ignore as the years pass.” IfsWorldWayYearsWellsLittlesLongRunningDifficultDifferencesOur LivesCoreContributionUnhappinessLong RunsDeceived Author:Dorothea Brande
“We will come to understand the part a difficult circumstance has played in our lives. Hindsight makes so much clear.

“People always want to know how you know. And knowing in your heart is very hard to describe. I think so often, we're trying to understand something with our mind.

“It is so important to remember that, as we travel through life, there will be so many events which we can`t control. These are things that seemingly alter our lives forever or become barriers for living a life of fulfillment. It`s important to remember that the ultimate experience of life is not to be controlled by events. We all have difficult events in our lives - the loss of family members, economics, stress, litigation, government interference in our businesses, health challenges. Remember that it is not the events that shape our lives, but, rather, the meaning we attach to them.” ImportantGovernmentRememberLife IsDifficultChallengesLossForeverOur LivesEventsShapesMembersEconomicsUltimateStressFulfillmentBarriersControlledInterferenceFamily MembersHealth Challenges Author:Tony Robbins
“Really living like Christ will not mean reward, social recognition, and an assured income, but difficulties, discrimination, solitude, anxiety.

“At birth we begin to discover that shapes, sounds, lights, and textures have meaning. Long before we learn to talk, sounds and images form the world we live in. All our lives, that world is more immediate than words and difficult to articulate. Photography, reflecting those images with uncanny accuracy, evokes their associations and our instant conviction. The art of the photographer lies in using those connotations, as a poet uses the connotations of words and a musician the tonal connotations of sounds.” WorldLongArtUseLightFormLyingDifficultSoundOur LivesPoetBirthShapesPhotographyMusicianPhotographerConvictionInstantAssociationReflectingTextureAccuracyEvokeConnotationUncanny Author:Nancy Newhall
