Note from the Universe, October 30, 2012

One of the things that will "get" you the most about people, Morgan, once you have time and space fully in your rear-view mirror, is how much they all hope, care, and love, sometimes without even knowing it.

I was "gotten" so long ago,
    The Universe

And you, Morgan, just might be one of the most hopeful, caring, lovers... ever. 

Inspiring Quote, Thomas A. Edison

"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

-Thomas A. Edison

Note from the Universe, October 29, 2012

Fast takes longer when you hurry, Morgan.

Keep calm and saunter on,
    The Universe

And slow, Morgan, gets faster when you're happy. 

Inspiring Quote, Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Character is higher than intellect.  A great soul will be strong to live as well as think."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Note from the Universe, October 26, 2012

The difference between being moments away from a big, HUGE dream coming true, Morgan, rather than light-years, lies in physically behaving, day by day, as if the dream were real, and all else was a dream.

Really,
    The Universe

Really, really, Morgan.

Inspiring Quote, Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom."

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Note from the Universe, October 25, 2012

Who will you re-fall in love with today, Morgan?

Whe-e-e-e-e-e . . .
    The Universe

Or you could start from scratch, Morgan, and pretend it's for the first time. 

Inspiring Quote, Theodore Roosevelt

"The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats."

-Theodore Roosevelt

Note from the Universe, October 24, 2012

Whether obvious or not, Morgan, and usually it's not, everyone in your life is there to help you, AND, they're actually doing so right now.

We call this the Everyone In Your Life Is There To Help You Rule.

Tallyho,
    The Universe

Which, incidentally, Morgan, doesn't mean you have to keep them there. In fact, their offering may simply be to teach you to say "adios."

The Bright Side

I was in a relatively good mood all day long.  Today was National Pharmacy Technician Day, so Kellie bought Kara and I lunch, so that was awesome.  And I'm off work tomorrow, so I don't have to freak out if I don't get much sleep (which I never do).

Inspiring Quote, Henry Ford

"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it."

-Henry Ford

Note from the Universe, October 23, 2012

You can only be your best self, Morgan, not someone else's.

My best self,
    The Universe

And however to the contrary it may seem, Morgan, therein lies your happiness, being your best self while letting others find theirs. 

Inspiring Quote, Doris Lessing

"Whatever you're meant to do, do it now.  The conditions are always impossible."

-Doris Lessing

Note from the Universe, October 22, 2012

Turning up the love, Morgan.

Turns on everything else.

Love up,
    The Universe

Everything, Morgan, as in whatever your heart desires, including the processes that will bring it to you.

Inspiring Quote, Abigail Adams

"Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence."

-Abigail Adams

Note from the Universe, October 19, 2012

Shake the burden that comes from seeing your baby steps, Morgan, as a necessary discipline.

See them, instead, as optional dance moves, in life's conga line, that spark miracles, open floodgates, and lead to the near effortless manifestations of Homes.

Day-o!
    The Universe

You are so living up to your Swivel-Hips nickname, Morgan... HEY! 

Inspiring Quote, George Bernard Shaw

"If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience."

-George Bernard Shaw

Note from the Universe, October 18, 2012

Generally speaking, Morgan, the busier someone is the faster time flies, the less they worry, the more friends they have, the farther they travel, the quicker they rebound, the richer they become, and the happier they are.

Passport ready?
    The Universe

And they usually walk bouncier, Morgan. 

Inspiring Quote, Voltaire

“ Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe. ”

    ― Voltaire

Note from the Universe, October 17, 2012

There are only 3 things that can make your dreams come true, Morgan: your thoughts, your words, and your actions.

Be the spark,
    The Universe

They're all you have, Morgan, and they're all you need. 

Inspiring Quote, Eleanor Roosevelt

“ It isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it. ”

    ― Eleanor Roosevelt

Note from the Universe, October 16, 2012

If you knew for absolute certain, Morgan, that every little thing you did today would later be scrutinized, literally moment by moment, by a future you, and future friends, as well as anyone else interested, and you'd all be looking for a number of qualities, especially patience, kindness, and love, during this game of games and test of tests called life, how might you treat the very next person you see after reading this Note?

Yeah,
    The Universe

Popcorn, anyone? Twizzlers, Morgan? Ouh, watch..........! Ahhhhh.... 

The Bright Side

Well, since I hadn't slept in over 24 hours, I was expecting today to be complete shit, but it turned out pretty well, actually.  Work was fun, Kara and I both had the giggles, I was delusional and too tired to get grumpy or too aggravated.  So yay!!

Inspiring Quote, Lao Tzu

"All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small."  - Lao Tzu

Note from the Universe, October 15, 2012

Neither a promotion, losing weight, finding a soul mate, writing a book, nor becoming a billionaire, Morgan, will ensure happiness.

Nothing ensures happiness. No destination is great enough. No dream come true will do.

Because happiness, dear Morgan, that's not present at the start of a journey will not be present at its end.

Après vous,
    The Universe

Nice shoes, Morgan.

Inspiring Quote, Confucius

    “ The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action. ”

    ― Confucius

Note from the Universe, October 12, 2012

There's nothing unpleasant, unkind, or unjust that has ever happened within all of time and space, Morgan, that I won't eventually undo, reverse, and make right, one billion times over.

Guaranteed,
    The Universe

In the meantime, Morgan, you're now free to love your life.

The Bright Side

I pulled more out-of-dates today, and stayed mostly caught up at work.  Got some of my paperwork organized tonight, and got to relax most of the evening.  Plus, only one more day of work until I'm off for the entire weekend.  Thank God.

Inspiring Quote, Sammy Davis, Jr.

    “ Sober up, and you see and hear everything you'd been able to avoid hearing before. ”

    ― Sammy Davis, Jr.

Note from the Universe, October 11, 2012

The way you know you'll receive 7 times what you give, Morgan, or in some cases 4,900 times what you give, is that the giving gives you true joy without any thought of even receiving 1 times back.

Nice R.O.I.,
    The Universe

Oh, the 4,900 multiple, Morgan? Yes, this was overlooked by your parables because it was never quite understood. To quote, "Verily, he or she who gives, without any thought of receiving, will receive 7 times recompense for their offering, while those who do so with a glad heart, happy dance, or whoohooo, will receive thy 7 times recompense 700 more times." Hubba, hubba. 

The Bright Side

Well, work wasn't very swamped today, so I got more out-of-dates pulled.  I got 2 boxes packed tonight.  I had a good meal and got a lot accomplished, so that's my bright side for today :)

Inspiring Quote, Ellen Glasgow

“ All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward. ”

    ― Ellen Glasgow

Note from the Universe, October 10, 2012

What makes you richer, Morgan, is the picture, that you hold in your mind.

You have the power,
    The Universe

It's how anyone, Morgan, has ever gotten anything.
