What's your inspirational quotes today?

Without we realized, an " inspiring quote" can gives us a great power to start our challenging day, it could be our "private motivator".

Wouldn't it be nice if every single person in here could contribute an "inspirational quote" in order to share his/her "private motivator" with everyone.

Let's start with me. My inspirational quotes for today is :

"Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible." - Frank L. Gaines
It's absolutely true, only few who can see an invisible thing to make everything's possible in every way.

So, what's your "inspirational quotes" today? :) and please share with me the reason why you choose that quotes.

Thank you

    Nov 26 2011: "Be. Here. Now."


    Hexagram:

    52 - Fifty-Two
    Kên / The Mountain

    Above this Mountain's summit another more majestic rises:
    The Superior Person is mindful to keep his thoughts in the here and now.

    Stilling the sensations of the Ego, he roams his courtyard without moving a muscle, unencumbered by the fears and desires of his fellows.
    This is no mistake.

    SITUATION ANALYSIS:

    There is a higher vantage point available to you, but it is obscured by the visible peak of personal ambition.
    To climb to this higher plane, you must shake off the desires and fears of the conscious, visible world around you.
    To make this journey you must quiet the Ego, empty your mind of past and future, and dwell totally in the moment at hand.
    Thorough mindfulness of what is before you is the only tranquility.
    Be. Here. Now.

    This is not so much my "favourite" but it is what manifested out of the "invisible" to become "visible" through the I Ching filter. This very ancient filter is a parallel of the point made in "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth"

      Nov 26 2011: yes. absolutely right. really interesting anyway, from the phrases you said that "empty your mind of past and future, and dwell totally in the moment at hand". it's like anonymous said that "Do not you worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will take care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
