"Living your life
through Gratitude, is not one of comparing how
you are better than someone else; or Gratitude
only for what you own or obtain or achieve.
Living your life through Gratitude, is standing
still in the moment and seeing that the world
would be missing something very valuable if you
were not in it." ~ Original quote, from book:
the "G" Spot, The ecstasy of life through
Gratitude, by Sumner M. Davenport, plus
co-contributors ~
"I
believe that its not what happens to you or for
you that makes you grateful, it's how you
respond to what is happening, that shows your
belief about gratitude."
"Of the blessings you discover in
your life, none are any greater than the other. Each has equal
value in and of itself to be appreciated for what it is.”
"When you grow
and rise above the masses, you will always become a target. Just
as the flower grows above the grass, it becomes a target for the
nourishment of the rays of sunshine, it also becomes a target
for attempts to
be cut down."
"The investments
we make in ourselves, will always deliver the most profitable
returns TM."
"Never fear
having your ideas stolen. Your creative idea is a image you are
painting like a picture on a canvas, they may "steal" your idea,
however they cannot steal your paints."
"Living your
life through Gratitude, is seeing that the world would be
missing something very valuable if you were not in it”
"Your 'Self” was
created in the image and likeness of your Creator. How can you
believe that your 'Self' needs to be or can be improved? Self
improvement is contradictory to your creation."
“You will get all you want in life if you help enough other
people get what they want.”

"I believe that imagination is
stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history --
dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over
experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger
than death". ~Robert Fulghum ~

"People who say it cannot be
done should not interrupt those who are doing it." ~ Author Unknown ~
“A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a
part limited in time and space. He experiences himself,
his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the
rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This
delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our
personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our
task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our
circle of comparison to embrace all living creatures and the
whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this
completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a
part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security” -
Albert Einstein ~
"Success
is like wrestling a gorilla. You don’t quit when you’re tired,
