Doc Childre, The How To Book of Teen Self Discovery When I start appreciating, I look at it like business. I start by appreciating life itself. After all, life is really a gift. It might not always seem like that's true, but it is. If nothing else, it's a gift of discovery. So I appreciate that! Doc Childre and Sara Paddision, HeartMath Discovery Program What you put out comes back. The more you sincerely appreciate life from the heart, the more the magnetic energy of appreciation attracts fulfilling life experiences to you, both personally and professionally. Learning how to appreciate more consistently offers many benefits and applications. Appreciation is an easy heart frequency to activate and it can help shift your perspectives quickly. Learning how to appreciate both pleasant and even seemingly unpleasant experiences is a key to increased fulfillment. Mother Teresa -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To give importance to trifling matters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48552]]></link><description><![CDATA[To give importance to trifling matters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15268]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reflection is the business of man; a sense of his state is his first duty: but who remembereth himself in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reflection is the business of man; a sense of his state is his first duty: but who remembereth himself in joy?

It is... not merely a sacred book but a book so remorselessly and continuously sacred that it does not invite -- it excludes or repels -- the merely aesthetic approach. You can read it as literature only by a tour de force... It demands incessantly to be taken on its own terms: it will not continue to give literary delight very long, except to those who go to it for something quite different. I predict that it will in the future be read, as it always has been read, almost exclusively by Christians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19919]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather lie on a sofa than sweep beneath it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are three schools of magic.

As he was wandering about there he came upon aLion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee,but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back andwent up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, whichwas all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a hugethorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulledout the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon ableto rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Liontook Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meatfrom which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and theLion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown tothe Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for severaldays. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle,and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon theLion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaringtowards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles herecognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his handslike a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summonedAndrocles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon theslave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his nativeforest.Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Small projects need much more help than great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Small projects need much more help than great.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How quickly nature falls into revolt When gold becomes her object!  For this the foolish overcareful fathers   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17784]]></link><description><![CDATA[How quickly nature falls into revolt When gold becomes her object!  For this the foolish overcareful fathers   Have broke their sleep with thoughts, their brains with care.    Their bones with industry.     For this they have engrossed and piled up      The cankered heaps of strange-achieved gold;       For this they have been thoughtful to invest        Their sons with arts and martial exercises.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The primary sign of a well-ordered mind is a man's ability to remain in one place and linger in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52199]]></link><description><![CDATA[The primary sign of a well-ordered mind is a man's ability to remain in one place and linger in his own company.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there's a feeling that there but for the grace of God, these sort of problems could easily happen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31385]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think there's a feeling that there but for the grace of God, these sort of problems could easily happen to your own children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a dangerous fire begins in the bed-straw. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49568]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a dangerous fire begins in the bed-straw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jordan also believes all final status issues, including borders, refugees, Jerusalem and settlements, should be a matter for the parties ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jordan also believes all final status issues, including borders, refugees, Jerusalem and settlements, should be a matter for the parties to decide.
