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[I certainly do get at the end of my rope at times.

They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It a wretched thing to suffer at the hand of one of whom we cannot complain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51617]]></link><description><![CDATA[It a wretched thing to suffer at the hand of one of whom we cannot complain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We decided two years ago, given the burgeoning and growing demand for U.S. corporate bonds, to tap into that and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36613]]></link><description><![CDATA[We decided two years ago, given the burgeoning and growing demand for U.S. corporate bonds, to tap into that and diversify our funding base.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't promise twice what you can do at once. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't promise twice what you can do at once.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A young lady is a female child who has just done something dreadful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23966]]></link><description><![CDATA[A young lady is a female child who has just done something dreadful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's good to shut up sometimes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46355]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's good to shut up sometimes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobly he yokes A smiling with a sigh, as if the sigh  Was that it was for not being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56686]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobly he yokes A smiling with a sigh, as if the sigh  Was that it was for not being such a smile;   The smile mocking the sigh that it would fly    From so divine a temple to commix     With winds that sailors rail at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43605]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bigotry's birthplace is the sinister back room of the mind where plots and schemes are hatched for the persecution and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bigotry's birthplace is the sinister back room of the mind where plots and schemes are hatched for the persecution and oppression of other human beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[March: Its stone, Bloodstone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26369]]></link><description><![CDATA[March: Its stone, Bloodstone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy wish was father, Harry, to that thought. -King Henry IV.

The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A story, in which native humour reigns, Is often useful, always entertains;  A graver fact, enlisted on your side, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57914]]></link><description><![CDATA[A story, in which native humour reigns, Is often useful, always entertains;  A graver fact, enlisted on your side,   May furnish illustration, well applied;    But sedentary weavers of long tales     Give me the fidgets, and my patience fails.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The herd instinct among forecasters makes sheep look like independent thinkers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5070]]></link><description><![CDATA[The herd instinct among forecasters makes sheep look like independent thinkers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As so often before, liberty has been wounded in the house of its friends.

But that is not love which, in the presence of acute suffering, can stand outside and aloof.
