65Here is a collection of quotes from people in my life that I have remembered and kept with me. They cover various aspects of life...

Thank you to everybody mentioned below.
“You’re on the right track, but heading in the wrong direction.” – Iva Corak, English teacher
I wrote this down during class sometime in 2006. For me, it means head forwards rather than backwards and don’t give up.

Perhaps it gets easy after you learn how. Hahaha! Every time I worry about money, I remember this.

“Charity begins at home.” – Cleopatra Dezulovic, mom
Everything begins with you. Once you’ve helped yourself, it’s your duty to help your loved ones, community, country and world. Start from within and expand into your surroundings. It makes no sense to help only strangers when your house is crumbling.

“You can’t call a samoosa a cake just because it came out of the oven.” – Michelle Dezulovic, sister
Don’t prejudge or follow stereotypes. Regardless of shared backgrounds and interests, we are all unique in our own way.

Think before you act!
“Love and light. Love and light!” – Toi Waner, friend
Do everything with love and light because that is true heartfelt intent.

Thanks for commenting and sharing those words.
I agree - that is exactly what the world needs! We need to come alive by embracing our true inner selves and that can only be done by following the heart.
Here's to the flow of positive energy! :)

@always exploring: Thanks so much for your encouraging comments. It is a pleasure to get to know you as well. ;)
I'm very grateful for all the people in my life - we can learn something from everyone we cross paths with. If only we would stick to the lessons though, but I guess we're all hypocrites in some way or the other...
Majadez, Sometimes I think that some of the souls we never meet in this life , live in the same space as we do !Awesome read.
@ahorseback:
Perhaps they do. It's just up to us whether we want to realise and see it or not. ;) Thanks.

Thank you for sharing! Here is one of my favorites!
'Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.'
The world would see much LESS suffering if everyone followed their hearts and did the things that made them happy. By being happy you are producing positive energy that can heal not only yourself but others as well. =)
