Do you have an inspiring or favorite quote to share?

I love your nightly ritual! It’s a keeper. Thanks!

That’s a great mind over matter visualization. It also sounds relaxing to calm the body for sleep. I’ll give it a try. This reminded me how whenever I was sick or first had cancer, I would visualize Pac-Man going through my body and gobbling up germs, cancer, clearing out arteries or whatever the way it used to gobble up the dots in the video game. That always felt good for healing but I forgot about it at some point. Thanks for your contribution.

When the going gets tough the tough gets going

Just keep on walking.

Somebody mentioned saying nice things ... I was in a room recently with several medical people when the senior physician entered, and I was surprised to hear myself saying "Isn't he cute!" Consternation bloomed on all the faces but he turned and said "That's the nicest thing anybody's said to me all week." No doubt a lie, but one filled with grace.

Sometimes we need a genius to tell us what we should already know so here it is from Albert Einstein:

A human being is a part of a 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 to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Love Is The Power to the World
The force of love has no opposite. There is no other power in life but love. There isn't a force of negativity. In ancient times, negatively was sometimes described as "the devil" or "evil". Being tempted be evil or the devil simply meant being tempted to fall into negative thoughts and feelings, rather than standing firm in the positive force of love. There is no force of negativity. There is only one force, and that force is love.
All the negative things you see in the world are always, always manifestations of a lack of love. Whether that negativity is in a person, place, circumstance, or event, it has always come from lack of love. There isn't a force of sadness; sadness is a lack of happiness, and all happiness comes from love. There isn't a force of illness; illness is a lack of health, and all health comes from love. There isn't a force of poverty; poverty is a lack of abundance, and all abundance comes from love. Love is the positive force of life, and any negative condition always comes from a lack of love.
When people reach the tipping point of giving more love than negativity, we will see negativity vanish from the planet at a rapid rate. Imagine it! Every single time you choose to give love, your love is helping to tip the entire world into positivity! Some people believe that we are very close to the tipping point now. Whether they're right or not, more than ever, now is the time to give love and positivity. Do it for your life. Do it for your country. Do it for the world.

BE THE LOVE THAT YOU ARE
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides, and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
—PIERRE TEILHARD DE CHARDIN (1881–1955),
FRENCH PHILOSOPHER AND PALEONTOLOGIST

chris20 just posted this to another area and I copied it to post here:
"I read this stunning quote by Augusto Cury:

"A person doesn't die when his heart stops beating; he dies when the world tells him he is no longer of any value."

And, I would add, that this is applicable when we, ourselves, tell ourself that we are no longer of value? That would certainly apply to me. I thought this was spot-on for this conversation!
