People observe the colors of a day only at its beginnings and endings, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations, with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of thousands of different colors. Murky darkness. In my line of work, I make it a point to notice them.
The Buddha's teachings on love are clear. It is possible to live twenty-four hours a day in a state of love. Every movement, every glance, every thought, and every word can be infused with love.
This is not a day for asking questions,
not a day on any calendar.
This day is conscious of itself.
This day is a lover, bread, and gentleness,
more manifest than saying can say.
Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday school. These are the things I learned: Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living. Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or your government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess. And it is true, no matter how old you are - when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
A day is lost through loss of darkness
Overcome yourself all the time in any situation from every day in life.
The day after tomorrow is the third day of the rest of your life.
Sometimes, 24 hours can bring a total revolutionary change.
To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
Let Ra grant to me a view of the Disk (the Sun), and a sight of Ah (the Moon) unfailingly each day. Let my Ba-soul come forth to walk about hither and thither and whithersoever it pleaseth.
Make each day your masterpiece.
Every day was there to be lived or to mark one's departure from the world. every thing depend on one word "Maktub."
Rather than trying to fit as much as I can in a day, I now look at my day and see what I can fit in.
We are all One, One Energy, from One Light. Let us band together as Humans, with love for all of humanity, living each day in harmony as we explore our spirit. - Kala
The day is short, the task is great, the laborers are lazy, the wage is abundant and the master is urgent.
Enter the day invigorated with the essence of possibility,
go through it energized with a sense of purpose and joy
and end it with the serenity of completion.
~ Darina Stoyanova ~
If we are too busy, if we are carried away every day by our projects, our uncertainty, our craving, how can we have the time to stop and look deeply into the situation-our own situation, the situation of our beloved one, the situation of our family and of our community, and the situation of our nation and of the other nations?
It is the greatest good for an individual to discuss virtue (aka areté) every day...for the unexamined life is not worth living.
Every day, therefore, should be regulated as if it were the one that brings up the rear, the one that rounds out and completes our lives.
Don't let your throat tighten with fear. Take sips of breath all day and night, before death closes your mouth.
It is better to allow our lives to speak for us than our words. God did not bear the cross only two thousand years ago. He bears it today, and he dies and is resurrected from day to day. It would be a poor comfort to the world if it had to depend on a historical God who died two thousand years ago. Do not, then, preach the God of history, but show him as he lives today through you.
He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your Vision is the promise of what you shall one day be. Your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it.
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way.
Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
It is better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes, this makes planning the day difficult.
