October 8th, 2007: Thoughts for the day (1)
Ralph Ellison
==========================================================
Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.
Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true.
(Chillen)
==========================================================
==========================================================
Happiness is not a reward: it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment: it is a result.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American politician and orator.
==========================================================
Knowledge of what is possible is the beginning of happiness.
George Santayana (1863-1952) American philosopher and poet.
==========================================================
The glow of satisfaction which follows the consciousness of doing our level best never comes to a human being from any other experience.
Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924) American author and founder of Success
==========================================================
A mind always employed is always happy. This is the true secret, the grand recipe, for felicity.
Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) Third president of the United States.
==========================================================
Our life is the Creation of our minds:
What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind.
Buddha (563 BC-483 BC) Founder of Buddhism.
==========================================================
How long will it take you to WIN?!
How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) British journalist, novelist and poet.
==========================================================
You must be able to "think" for yourself!:
To find yourself, think for yourself.
Socrates (BC 469-BC 399) Greek philosopher of Athens
==========================================================
What does this mean Jon?
Thinkers think and doers do. But until the thinkers do and the doers think, progress will be just another word in the already overburdened vocabulary of the talkers who talk.
(Unknown)
==========================================================
You MUST get to KNOW yourselves!
To know the true reality of yourself, you must be aware not only of your conscious thoughts, but also of your unconscious prejudices, bias and habits.
(Unknown)
==========================================================
A most powerful short sentence:
Think all you speak, but speak not all you think.
(Unknown)
==========================================================
As you know, Jon, Henry David Thoreau is my Favorite Philosopher. What is he saying here:
Each thought that is welcomed and recorded is a nest egg by the side of which more will be laid.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American naturalist, poet and philosopher.
==========================================================
Listen up brotha and sista's:
Can't never brought anything. Can will bring everything.
(Chillen)
==========================================================
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes. "
Charles Swindoll
==========================================================
The POWER of the human SOUL and attitude toward a circumstance!
ROCK ON! YES BABY!
"We who lived in the concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing:
The last of his freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
Viktor E. Frankl
==========================================================

I am no one but myself
All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.

==========================================================
Not what you have, but what you see; Not what you see, but what you choose; Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what you dream, but what you do; Not what you take, but what you give; Not as you pray, but as you live. These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness.

Nice post chillen! I'm off to bed now, and I'll be thinking of your positive quotes tonight.
(So will my chicken buddy) (points to avatar)
(So will my chicken buddy) (points to avatar)
LOL! Yes, they need brain fed to......keeps them....."spicy'.....
By the way, do you have "names" for your Chickens?
Good Morning.
No, they don't officially have names. I have to get bands for their legs so I can tell some of them apart. I have 3 Rhode Island Reds (a breed of chicken) that look nearly identical.

Hey Chillen, I read this quote that I thouht was meaningful towards, well, anything, but I equated it to fitness. So I figured since this was the place for inspiration, I might share it here.
"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them." ~G.B. Shaw
So whether one starts out fit or not, or your "genetics" aren't as great as some others, it doesn't matter. Go out and make your circumstances!

Hey chillen, I just thought I'd say a quick hello. I've been busy all day and haven't been online since this morning. It's 10:45 and I need to go to bed. I have a big speech in my public speaking class on fitness myths. Wish me luck! I get to talk about spot reduction and why it doesn't work. Fun!
just a shout out:
hey chillen! whats been in the chillbox lately?
hey chillen! whats been in the chillbox lately?
Hey, you haven't been on for a while. What's happening?

I miss him.Oh well, he'll probably be back.
I apologize I had things come up that were not planned and I had to adapt and meet them head on. Both personally and professionally.
If you remember a few weeks back I made a post stipulating I had a PT test coming up, and though it was scheduled in the latter half of October I had to leave on Monday to go take it in Hutchinson. I passed with flying colors, and came in second overall within the 21 to 35 age bracket (I had to sign a waiver to be allowed, LOL!).
My wife fell ill for a few days as well. I had to take care of her. But all is well.
Thank all of you for your comments.
