Everything Is Possible

"Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger."

Possibilities



Your success is not a matter of idle chance,

it's a matter of making the right choices.

It's not something you wait for,

but rather something you'll achieve with effort.

Things won't turn up in this world until you turn them up.

Success is neither magical nor mysterious.

The people that truly succeed in the world

are the people who look for the circumstances they want,

and, if they can't find them, make them.

Don't sit on the sidelines, get in the game.

Your access to success has no real limits.

The great opportunity in your life is where you are right now.

Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity for you.

You have grand opportunities all around you.

Open your eyes, and you will find it.

If you have the desire, you have the power.

Taking action is all that is required.

Trust your heart. God put, in every single one of you, the kindling to ignite a fire within you. That fire is what we call passion. God doesn't just hand us the matches, and say, 'ok light that fire'. Nope, that would be no fun. He embedded what is needed to ignite your passion. But he set you out on a journey to find your matches. That journey is called life. How genius that is!

Just because what you are after is not achieved today doesn't mean that you should give up.

I guarantee you Dan Jansen thought he had completely failed. He promised his sister, just before she died, that he would win gold in his Olympic race. Not only did he not win gold, he came in dead last. Think about that, think about the emotions flowing through Dan. He made a promise and in his limited eyes, he didn't deliver. But that isn't true. He didn't fail at all, his timing was simply off. God knew better. How much sweeter his victory lap must have been, six years later, carrying his daughter, who was named after his sister. The same sister he promised he would win Olympic gold. If you asked Mr. Jansen, if he failed his sister now, I bet he'd say no.

Just because you haven't found your matches, doesn't mean you quit. Trust your heart. Live this LIFE.

Attitude
by: Rev. Charles Swindoll



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, then circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say, or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, 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 one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.

Without Fear



During the civil wars in feudal Japan, an invading army would quickly sweep into a town and take control. In one particular village, everyone fled just before the army arrived - everyone except the Zen master. Curious about this old fellow, the general went to the temple to see for himself what kind of man this master was. When he wasn't treated with the deference and submissiveness to which he was accustomed, the general burst into anger. "You fool," he shouted as he reached for his sword, "don't you realize you are standing before a man who could run you through without blinking an eye!" But despite the threat, the master seemed unmoved. "And do you realize," the master replied calmly, "that you are standing before a man who can be run through without blinking an eye?"

The Station



Tucked away in our subconscious minds is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long, long trip that almost spans the continent. We're traveling by passenger train, and out the windows we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of biting winter and blazing summer and cavorting spring and docile fall.

But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour we will pull into the station. There sill be bands playing, and flags waving. And once we get there so many wonderful dreams will come true. So many wishes will be fulfilled and so many pieces of our lives finally will be neatly fitted together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering ... waiting, waiting, waiting, for the station.
However, sooner or later we must realize there is no one station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.

"When we reach the station, that will be it !" we cry. Translated it means, "When I'm 18, that will be it ! When I buy a new 450 SL Mercedes Benz, that will be it ! When I put the last kid through college, that will be it ! When I have paid off the mortgage, that will be it ! When I win a promotion, that will be it ! When I reach the age of retirement, that will be it ! I shall live happily ever after !"

Unfortunately, once we get it, then it disappears. The station somehow hides itself at the end of an endless track.

"Relish the moment" is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118:24: "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. Rather, it is regret over yesterday or fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who would rob us of today.

So, stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot oftener, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.

Japanese Traditional Art

Whether it is the Japanese paintings or pottery, Japanese traditional art is vivid and has its own beauty. Here’s a look at some of the different types of Japanese traditional art that reflect the rich history and culture of the place.
Japanese Traditional Art
Japan has always been known for the various forms of beautiful art that is seen out here. The Japanese have managed to retain their own aesthetic lookout while merging foreign influences as well. There was a time when Japan was invaded by ideas that came from outside and there was also a time when the Japanese rarely had any contact or influences from places around the world. Japanese traditional art can be seen in various forms, which the Japanese artists have used to express through various mediums.

When one mentions Japanese traditional art, one can see that it can encompass a whole lot of mediums of expression. Japanese traditional art can include the beautiful Japanese paintings, the exquisite Japanese pottery, the artistic Japanese sculptures and the traditional art extends to the art of flower arrangement known as the Ikebana and Origami which is the art of folding paper. Here’s a look at the various forms of Japanese traditional art that has mesmerized people for years.

Japanese Traditional Art: Painting
Japanese paintings are unique in their own way and have certain characteristics about them as well. This is also the oldest of the Japanese traditional arts. One can see a wide range of styles under Japanese art. This is a combination of traditional Japanese ideas and influences from outside as well.

The various periods in the history of Japan also had certain influences over the Japanese traditional art forms. Beautiful murals were the most significant forms of art during the Nara period. These were seen on the walls of the temple of Horyu-ji in Ikaruga , Nara. Here, the style of the paintings was quite similar to the Chinese paintings. Most of the paintings of the Nara period depicted religious beliefs and stories.

As time passed, one could see various images of the Mandala gain prominence in Japanese art. With Japanese Buddhism on the rise, one could witness new genres being added to the traditional Japanese art. Chinese art slowly disappeared from the scene by the mid-Heian period. This period saw many artists incorporate religion into their paintings.

The 14th century witnessed the Zen monasteries make a strong impact on Japanese art. Ink painting was introduced from the Sung and the Yuan dynasty. The Zen artists gradually moved away from the Chinese style of painting and monochrome landscape paintings gained prominence. This took on a more of a Japanese style in the Muromachi period and towards the end of this period, the ink paintings gave way to a decorative style of art.

Traditional Japanese art also saw the use of gold and silver foil in the Azuchi-Momoyama period. Monumental landscapes adorned the sliding doors and wall paintings decorated beautiful castles. A number of new trends came to the surface during the Edo period. The Rimpa school that was seen during this period were known for their classical themes which were depicted in a very bold fashion with a decorative style.

Western art gained prominence during the Meiji period. Due to the efforts of certain art critics, traditional Japanese art saw a revival during this period especially the Nihonga art. With time, Japanese art also saw many changes in the various art styles.

Today, modern artists have gone towards new themes and abstract paintings as well. The traditional Japanese art style called the nihonga is still represented in various modern ways by artists.

Japanese Traditional Art: Pottery and Sculpture
The earlier forms of pottery seen in Japan were coil made and decorated with rope patterns, which were impressed by hand. Many artists studied the traditional methods of glazing in order to prevent the native styles from disappearing from the scene. Various styles of the Japanese pottery evolved which were initially created by Korean potters. Classic wares were crafted in numerous areas of Japan by the end of the 1980s. Dragons and floral designs adorned the Arita porcelain. The bizen ware was easily distinguishable by the reddish brown color and the ironlike hardness.

Japanese sculpture is beautiful in its own way and has its main focus on Buddhism. Different periods also saw the emergence of various styles of this art form. In the initial stage, materials such as metals and wood were used for the Japanese sculptures. The ancient dogu and the haniwa figures were made of clay. These also had a story behind their form and creation.

The most important and significant Buddhist sculptures belonged to the Hakuho art period. The earlier styles of the sculpture saw a change and features became more softened in their appearance.

Towards the modern times, new ideas and materials were put into use for Japanese sculpture. Outdoor sculpture also became an important feature. These are used in parks and as a part of landscape design. The 1980s saw the use of natural materials being made for Japanese sculptures.

Flow



The Warrior of the Light sometimes behaves like water,
flowing around the obstacles he encounters.

Occasionally, resistance might mean destruction, and so
he adapts to the circumstances. He accepts, without complaint
that the stones in his path hinder his way through the
mountains.

Therein lies the strength of water: It cannot be touched
by a hammer or ripped to shreds by a knife. The strongest
sword in the world cannot scar its surface.

The river adapts itself to whatever route proves possible,
but the river never forgets its one objective: the sea. So
fragile at its source, it gradually gathers the strength of
the other rivers it encounters.

And, after a certain point, its power is absolute.

-Paulo Coelho

Carpe Diem - Seize the Day.
I know, because of this movie, you've most likely heard that line multiple times.
It's a great line and a great way to live life, but that's not why I posted this clip.
It's the other part of Robin Williams's speech that I want to highlight.

"Because we are foods for worms lads. Because, believe it or not, each and everyone of us in this room is going to, one day, stop breathing, turn cold and die."
This should in no way, surprise you or make you sad. It is an inevitable fact, our time here is limited. I see this and that statement as pure motivation to LIVE this LIFE fully and completely. To take chances and risks, and to seize every single opportunity that I can. To Seize the Day.

When I was younger I saw the Power Team give one of their performances. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Power Team, they were a Christian group, who traveled around the world preaching while they bent steal bars and ripped up telephone books. Cool and ridiculous at the same time. But I'll never forget what one of them said that night. He said, "Do you all know what the devil's favorite word is?".
Of course people yelled out words like sin and hate and all the typical answers that might be associated with the devil. When everyone finally quieted down he said, "While your answers were all good, they were all wrong. The devil's favorite word is………Tomorrow." That struck a nerve in me. Now I'm not here to convince you that the devil exists or not. But think about it, TOMORROW, how fitting of a word for him. "I'll do it tomorrow……..I'll go tomorrow………it can wait till tomorrow". Tomorrow is a dangerous word my friends. Because tomorrow is never guaranteed.

Do NOT waist today. Do NOT wait for tomorrow. Carpe Diem. Seize TODAY.

"Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."

-Patrick Henry



Stop focusing on what you "don't" have. And pour yourself, completely, into what you do have. By doing that, your passion in life will be set ablaze. Just because you can't create the music doesn't mean you don't have an ear for it. You may not be the strongest, but in your pursuit of strength you may discover your gift of coaching. Speaking in public terrifies you but you have a message, your abilities may be in writing.

Your road in life is not my road and my road in life is not your road. Follow YOUR passion and the road you were born to walk will reveal itself. Every single one of us has a special ability. And because of that, there are no disabilities.

Western's right-fielder, Sara Tucholsky, came up with two runners on in the second inning. What happened next was a unique display of sportsmanship.

How Did You Die?

Did you tackle that trouble that came your way

With a resolute heart and cheerful?

Or hide your face from the light of day

With a craven soul and fearful?

Oh, a trouble's a ton, or a trouble's an ounce,

Or a trouble is what you make it,

And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,

But only how did you take it?

You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that!

Come up with a smiling face.

It's nothing against you to fall down flat,

But to lie there--that's disgrace.

The harder you're thrown, why the higher you bounce

Be proud of your blackened eye!

It isn't the fact that you're licked that counts;

It's how did you fight--and why?

And though you be done to the death, what then?

If you battled the best you could,

If you played your part in the world of men,

Why, the Critic will call it good.

Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce,

And whether he's slow or spry,

It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts,

But only how did you die?

IF

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;

If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!

Believe In Yourself

This clip is from the movie 'Walk The Line'. A biopic about Johnny Cash, country music legend. In the scene Johnny Cash and his band, are auditioning for Sam Phillips, owner of Sun Records.
Now I don't honestly know if this exchange actually happened. But what I do know is that the words spoken during this scene are very powerful. Think about it, Johnny Cash is basically claiming that he is passionate about singing and that during that song he is giving it all he has. But Sam Phillips, who has seen many many talented and passionate artists before Mr. Cash (Sam Phillips gave Elvis his first record deal) says that he doesn't believe Johnny.

Have you ever been there? Claiming to love something or saying that you are giving it all you've got, but deep down you know you aren't giving 100%. And just like Sam Phillips does in this clip, everyone around you can tell you're faking it. Passion is contagious. When someone is fired up and truly passionate about something, others can't help but to be around that kind of drive. When you find your passion there will be no need to claim it, because it will be you. Your eyes will show it, your words will speak it and your actions will prove it. Whatever that thing it is you HAVE to do, GO DO IT! GO BE IT! GO LIVE IT!

"If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out there in that gutter dying, and you had time to sing *one* song. Huh? One song that people would remember before you're dirt. One song that would let God know how you felt about your time here on Earth. One song that would sum you up. You tellin' me that's the song you'd sing? That same Jimmy Davis tune we hear on the radio all day, about your peace within, and how it's real, and how you're gonna shout it? Or... would you sing somethin' different. Somethin' real. Somethin' *you* felt. Cause I'm telling you right now, that's the kind of song people want to hear. That's the kind of song that truly saves people. It ain't got nothin to do with believin' in God, Mr. Cash. It has to do with believin' in yourself."

What is your "one song"?
