You'll never have to worry about looking a gift horse in the mouth if you never accept one in the first place.
Just because everyone's doing it, that doesn't make it right.
Just because you can't see it, hear it, feel it, taste it or smell it doesn't mean it isn't there.
All’s well that ends well, unless you didn’t live to see it.
In the hectic pace of contemporary life it is all too easy to forget the small things that happen every day and the importance they possess for you. Striving to achieve the goals you have set for yourself and focusing all your thoughts and activity on such things will only blind you to the lessons that can be learned from paying attention to the everyday things.
Caring for a child or preparing a family meal or doing the laundry means much more in the long run than the acts themselves and their immediate desired ends. Being a dedicated, punctual, hard-working and grateful employee carries more weight in life than being at the top with nowhere to go. The everyday activities enrich the soul that dwells within you by refocusing your thoughts on other people rather than only on yourself. The carefree services you perform for others refocus the mental patterns of selfish strife that deplete your energy and which often lead to the emptiness of failure.
The real treasures in life lie in the day-to-day world, awaiting your discovery. The rest are carrots on strings held out before us by those who have never paid attention to the daily world around themselves. Graciously accept your role as a doer and provider of the simple things in life. What follows can only be your success in life.

Don’t count your chickens before they cross the road.
If push comes to shove, there was probably a better way to do it.
A Fool’s Paradise will never be exposed for what it is by any of its residents.
Religious freedom also means freedom from religion.
Far too many of the evil deeds committed by mankind throughout history have been the erroneous and selfish deeds of the followers of organized religions. Deeply religious people have never been part of the solution to a lasting peace on planet Earth. They are, and always have been, part of the problem. The very act of worship is a denial of the equality of all beings.
A new era of enlightenment is upon us now. It is showing us that, among other things, life is a lesson book for the spirit. Recognize the truths that life exposes to us every day and become an enlightened citizen whose primary goal is to seek the truth and then live by it.
