Masters of
the Heart by Joseph Michael Levry (Gurunam)
"To be happy, healthy and live in harmony in this age, one
must shift to one's center, one's heart, which is the place of balance
and harmony. Many of us find ourselves dwelling in our mind, but the
energy of the Age of Aquarius is at the level of the heart chakra. And
it is through the heart, that one can manifest one's highest destiny."
Step
into the Future by Brenda Miller
"I recently spoke to a friend who was interviewing
for a "job" because he said he wanted "stability."
The dictionary defines stability as resistance to change. It's this
very reason that people who are closet entrepreneurs don't succeed,
and companies who stay with the status quo don't change, lose market
share and are taken over or go out of business. Moreover, it's the reason
why most people do not reach their full potential and follow the path
of their destiny. Moses could come down from the mount with proliferations
and decrees but for most, it would make no difference and he would be
simply ignored, like many that have a message and could make a tangible
difference."
Quotations
"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice;
it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
~William Jennings Bryan
"What's past is past, it's too bloody late to do anything
else. I've been very blessed and lucky in my life. To want to change
the path of destiny is kind of a mistake, it leads to discontent. I
don't feel complacent, but I feel content."
~ Christine McVie
"Nothing brings me more happiness than trying to help the
most vulnerable people in society. It is a goal and an essential part
of my life - a kind of destiny. Whoever is in distress can call on me.
I will come running wherever they are."
~Princess Diana
