    TODAY's QUOTES
    "Patience is power; with time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes silk."

    - Chinese Proverb

    "Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations, yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope."

    - Corazon Aquino, was the 11th President of the Philippines and the first woman to hold that office.

    "Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success."

    - Brian Adams
    MASTINSAYS
    I believe wholeheartedly that the patient path is the fastest way. Look to nature to see proof of this. Look to buildings that weather storms and earthquakes. A strong foundation and slow consistent growth outlasts and becomes stronger than quick and rapid growth.

    If you can cultivate an attitude of patience in this world of instant gratification you will give yourself a HUGE competitive advantage. Build solid foundations, cultivate meaningful relationships and let your roots become so strong that nothing can shake you.

    This is the path of the urban sage.

    The patient path is the fastest way.

    I build strong foundations in all my affairs.

    I enjoy taking my time and taking one step at a time.

    I celebrate not knowing HOW because I know faith and action towards my WHY is all I need.

    TODAY'sQUOTES
    "I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business."
     
    - Michael J. Fox, actor.

    "Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
     
    - Aristotle    , Greek philosopher.
     
    "Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: some things are within our control and some things are not. It is only after you have faced up to this fundamental rule and learned to distinguish between what you can and cannot control that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness become possible... Remember too, that if you think you have free rein over things that are naturally beyond your control, or if you attempt to adopt the affairs of others as your own, your pursuits will be thwarted and you will become a frustrated, anxious and fault-finding person."

    - Epicetus, Stoic Philosopher.
    MASTINSAYS
    When we look at our lives through the eyes of Faith we see that obstacles, set backs, disappointments and "tough times" are gigantic gifts from the Uni-verse making us strong enough people to achieve our dreams. If we meet outer obstacles with inner resolve & persistence, our Faith will win every time.

    TODAY'sAFFIRMATIONS
    I love my flaws because it is they who make me perfectly me!
     
    I let go and let the Uni-verse decide!
     
    My only goal is to become free from fear, so I do one thing that I'm afraid of today!

    Two Wolves
    Author Unknown
     
    One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, The battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all.

    One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment
    Inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

    The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope,
    serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,
    empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
    The grandson thought about it for a minute
    and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"

    The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
    MASTINSAYS
    Always remember that power of choice that you have in every moment. You can choose to respond instead of react, you can choose love instead of fear, you can choose to let go instead of hold on.
     
    The choice is yours in this moment - what choice are you making? It's ALWAYS up to you!
    TODAY'sAFFIRMATIONS
    I choose love today!
     
    I choose to trust today!
     
    I choose to believe in myself today!
     
    I choose to move forward!

    MASTINSAYS
    The greatest challenge and gift is coming into who you really are. The world will try to distract you, people will say you're not good enough, you can't do it, that you are selfish, that there's no point. Yet inside you is that litle voice dying to be expressed.
     
    Today - listen no more to the doubts. One small yes from that voice is more powerful than all the doubts of the world. Be that yes!
    TODAY'sAFFIRMATIONS
    I embrace all of my life and see pain as one of my best teachers.
     
    I say yes to who I know I am - regardless of what anyone else says.
     
    This day is brand new and so am I.
     
    I know that the right people, situations and circumstances will stick - so today I let go!
