As Much As Anybody

A  L  O  H  A !

You yourself, as much as anybody 

in the entire universe, 

deserve your love & affection. 

                      Buddha

Every adversity, every failure, 

every heartache carries with it the 

seed of an equal or greater benefit.

The Women of Our World 

are like Mother Earth. 

They don't just give life 

to the next generation 

but also to Hope. 

The Women of Our World are to be 

loved, respected and protected.

Sunny days give us happiness; 

stormy days give us wisdom.

Only write a story

The fragrance of flowers spreads 

only in the direction of the wind. 

But the goodness of a person 

spreads in all directions.

And one by one 

the nights between 

our separated cities 

are joined to the night 

that unites us.

Unconditional Positive Regard

A  L  O  H  A !

Sadly, so many people seem 

unhappy, unkind, sleepwalking 

though their day, oblivious. But 

remember, we do not need 

to lack for kindness. We are free to

bring our own with us 

EVERYWHERE! 

Ally yourself with it's eternal energy. 

Be a quiet ambassador of Aloha. 

It is up to others as it is to us,

this choice of how to live.  

The only way to open their eyes 

is by being kind in their presence. 

Even when there is no 

warmth in their eyes. 

It is just such kindness that 

may ultimately warm and rekindle

their humanity. But that is not 

for us to know, All we can do 

is live ALOHA

So What

A  L  O  H  A !

Sometimes people let the same problem 

make them miserable for years 

when they could just say, 

So what. 

That's one of my favorite 

things to say. So what.

    Andy Warhol

When people are ready to, they change. 

They never do it before then, 

and sometimes they die 

before they get around to it. 

You can't make them change 

if they don't want to, 

just like when they do want to, 

you can't stop them.

                Andy Warhol

There is no persuasiveness 

more effectual than the 

transparency of a single heart, 

of a sincere life.

                       Joseph Barber Lightfoot

Lift

A  L  O  H  A !

One can pay back the loan of gold, 
but one dies forever in debt 
to those who are kind.

                       Malayan Proverb

 Know how to give without hesitation, 

how to lose without regret, 

how to acquire without meanness.

                  George Sand

Kindness is more than deeds. 

It is an attitude, an expression, 

a look, a touch. 

It is anything that 

lifts another person.

Carve your name

 The most important trip 

you may take in life is 

meeting people halfway. 

               Henry Boyle

 All great philosophers advise: 

don't debate with someone 

who has only strong opinions 

but no real understanding of the topic. 

A person who does not understand 

an issue's true complexity 

is not going to be educated 

in five minutes. 

Listen respectfully. 

Asking one good question 

may get them to start 

thinking differently, but 

arguing with them 

will only agitate you both. 

Treating others with respect 

does not mean you agree!

I advise changing the topic 

in a fun way, or 

taking your leave.

Humor can get in under the door 

while seriousness is still 

fumbling at the handle.

         G.K. Chesterton

Regard Every Annoyance

A  L  O  H  A !

Double Luck

Learn to see the world

as a place of becoming.

Things the bother you

are only undeveloped.

Other Seasons, Other Places, Other Times. Other Selves?

Never let yourself be

disappointed for long.

If you keep looking for

the dawn, to work for it,

to be patient and confident,

you will be rewarded.

Failure is temporary.

Your resilience, and the character

that you build with every good choice

are yours forever.

Regard every annoyance

as passing. It is.
