Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
- Helen Keller
There are no guarantees.
From the viewpoint of fear, none are strong enough.
From the viewpoint of love, none are necessary.
- Emmanuel (Pat Rodegast)
Our only security is our ability to change.
- John Lilly
There is no security on this Earth,
there is only opportunity.
- Douglas MacArthur
Security is not the absence of danger,
but the presence of God,
no matter what the danger.
- Anonymous
Unexpected events can set you back or set you up. It's all a matter of - perspective.
- Mary Anne Radmacher
Those of true faith don't require guaranteed security.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Life is magnificent - just as it comes. Life has no need for fancy
clothes, or lipstick. Life is no pig. Our life is the greatest gift of
all creation. When we are unhappy with life - when we are shocked by the
actions of politicians, or corporations, or our "enemies," or our
"friends," or even by natural forces, - let us not lash out in anger.
But also, let us not try to pretty up life with some lipstick and some
party clothes. See life clearly - no rose colored glasses - and then
CHOOSE to love life. CHOOSE to be happy, be joyful, be grateful, be
forgiving of everyone and of every act we believe has hurt us. Life just
"IS." We get to CHOOSE our relationship with life.
Life is all in the perspective we take on it.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Let today be a day to look at your life from different and broader
perspectives - perhaps a perspective of thankfulness for what you have
and a perspective of wonder at your very existence and the magnificence
of the world we live in.
