the daily guru.

is my friend. {the link is in the title today...}
totally stolen from a carrie colbert's blog. oops. she's married now, add another last name to that...
anywho. i finally signed myself up for the emails. i'm totally loving them! not sure why i didn't do so sooner.

nick and i were having a conversation about happiness and how some feel entitled. told him i had just gotten an email on it. he looked at me like i had seven eyes. when we got home, i read it to him and he kinda did one of those hmphs, but in a deep thinking i'm impressed kinda way. love those. makes ya think.

so here it is...

EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE

No one has a corner on success.
Pay the price for it and it's yours.
No matter what you want from life
you've got to give up something to get it.

Nothing worthwhile will come easily to you.
Hard work will accomplish results that last.
There is no easy road to success.
You've got to work a great deal harder than most people to get it.

There is no success at bargain basement prices.
The highway to success is a toll road.

THE DAILY GURU

and another i really liked...

SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY

"Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience."

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Racing through life is very stressful. If we stay in high gear too
long, we lose our ability to shift down. And when we're stressed, we can't
access happiness, appreciation, fun, compassion, generosity, awareness
of beauty and other wonderful qualities. High stress also triggers
negative emotions like frustration, impatience, anger and fear.

Life has so much to offer if we will slow down and truly experience it.
We must always remember that we are the ones in control of the
accelerator. We CAN choose to brake.

"Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going
too fast -- you also miss the sense of where you are going and why."

-- Eddie Cantor

k. enough deep thoughts by jack handy. but i really like them and thought i should share. ;o)
