Be open to possibilities ...
We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Mahatma Gandhi
You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.

Living on the Tree of Life
Leaves on a Tree of Life
As individuals, we are like single leaves on a great tree.
We live for one season only, but the tree lives on year after year and season after season.
We do not experience the entire life span of the tree, but we contribute to it.
Dr. Bill R. Path
Gustav Klimt - Tree of Life
The 'Tree of Life' metaphor has been used across different cultures and religions, as well as in other fields including art, science and philosophy. The common thread that weaves between the different cultures and theories is that the Tree of Life image connects us all through a message of unity.
The Tree of Life symbolises that all forms of life are interconnected. A clear message that is conveyed is that we as humans must respect and live in harmony with the planet and all forms of life inhabiting it.
For us to really thrive, as humans, we must all make a commitment to live consciously; with compassion, concern and a real commitment to respect and care for not only each other, but for the environment too.
The meaning of life is not to be discovered only after death in some hidden, mysterious realm; on the contrary, it can be found by eating the succulent fruit of the Tree of Life and by living in the here and now as fully and creatively as we can.
Paul Kurtz
Points to think about:
How 'green' is your lifestyle?
What steps are you taking to help the environment?
What more could you do?
