Motivation

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening
That is translated through you into action,
And because there is only one of you in all of time
This expression is unique.
And if you block it,
It will never exist through any other medium,
And be lost.
The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is,
Nor how valuable, or how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly,
to stay open and aware to the urges that motivate you.”

Martha Graham

Daily Inspiration

A couple years ago, I signed up for the BeliefNet Daily Inspiration and Daily Buddhist Wisdom... They're a nice reminder during the day of things of greater importance. The site also has fun things like taking a quiz to see what religion you are, not sure how accurate is, I've gotten different results, all FAR from what I'd guess, but if you love quizzes, it's a good one.
