Proximity2Now (www.proximity2now.blogspot.com) has inspired me by posting a slew of inspirational quotes. I am in dire need of inspiration, motivation, salvation, appreciation, emancipation....I could go on, but instead I will blast you and I with the following words of wisdom from Sri Chimnoy. (found these lovely cards at my favourite vegetarian restaurant, 'Perfection, Satisfaction, Promise' (located below my ex-apartment) Sniff...Sniff...

Here goes:

Dream, dream, dream!
You will never
Have time to suffer
From despair.

To silence enthusiasm
At any moment
Is absolutely wrong.

Do not blame the world,
Better it.
How?
By bettering yourself
At every moment.

Turn your
Wishful thoughts into
A powerful
Will-power.

Do not be afraid of tasting
The bitterness of failure.
Be brave!
The sweetness of success
Will before long
Befriend you.

Break your bad habits
By dropping them.
Strengthen your good habits
By treasuring them.

How can one get
The greatest joy?
Not by possessing,
But by sacrificing.

True humility
Means
Giving joy to others.

Truth is in all
But love is all.

To serve
And never be tired
Is love.

By seeing the past
I gain nothing.
By knowing the future
I gain something.
By living in the present
I gain everything.

First be sure
That you know the truth,
Before you talk to others
About the truth.

Be happy.
You will get
What you like most.
You will be
What you like best.

If you do
The right thing,
Eventually
You will inspire others
To do the right thing.
