Some women chose to follow men, and some women chose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you any more. ~ Lady Gaga

In the ultimate stillness
Light penetrates the whole realm;
In the still illumination,
There pervades pure emptiness.
When I look back on the
Phenomenal world,
Everything is just
Like a dream.
~Han-Shan Te-Ch'ing

Love or Infatuation?
Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes roots and grows - one day at at time.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is quiet, understanding, and the mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by their presence, even when they are away. Miles do not separate you. You want them nearer. But near or far, you know they are yours and you can wait.
Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk loosing him." Love says, "Be patient, don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. If you are honest, you will admit it is difficult to be in one another's company unless you are sure it will end in intimacy. Love is the maturation of friendship. You must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When they are away, you wonder if they are cheating. Sometimes you check.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure, and unthreatened. The feel that trust, and it makes them more trustworthy.
Infatuation might lead you to do things you'll regret later, but love never will.
Love is an upper. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.

Chinese Good Luck Mantra
Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
Marry someone you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, or sleep all you want.
When you say, "I'm sorry" look the person in the eye.
When you say, "I love you" mean it.
Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
Believe in love at first sight.
Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt, but it is the only way to live life completely.
In disagreements, fight fairly. Please, no name calling.
Don't judge people by their relatives.
Talk slowly but think quickly.
When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risks.
Say, "Bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
Remember the three "R's": respect for self; respect for others, responsibility for all your actions.
Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
Spend some time alone.

Creationists make it sound as though a "theory" is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night. ~ Isaac Asimov

Democracy is only a dream; it should be put in the same category as Arcadia, Santa Claus, and Heaven. ~ H. L. Mencken

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -- a desire, a dream, and a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, and they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. ~ Muhammad Ali

I Am Me
In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically me because I alone chose it.
I own everything about me; my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions,whether they be to others or to myself.
I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know.
But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me. I am me and I am OK.
~ Virginia Satir
