Saving one animal won't change the world,

but it will change the world for that one animal.

You can tell a lot about people

by the way they treat their pets.

Frank Sonnenberg

Although I can't stop all cruelty to living

creatures on the planet, I can be kinder

to every living creature in my life.

River Phoenix

It is more important to prevent suffering,

rather than sit to contemplate the evils

of the universe.

Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies,

quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure

love and always have to mix love and hate.

If we could live happy and healthy lives

without harming others, why wouldn't we?

Pam Ahern

Love all. Serve all. Help ever. Hurt never.

Create all the happiness you are able to create;

remove all the misery you are able to remove.

Every day will allow you, will invite you to

add something to the pleasure of others,

or to diminish something of their pains.

Jeremy Bentham

I marvelled at how two souls - two completely

different species - could make each other

so happy. If you were kind to animals,

they repaid that kindness thousandfold.

People disappointed; animals never did.

Alan Brennert

When a man loves cats, I am his friend and

the more I like my dog.

There is no happiness like that of being loved

The Path is the Goal

The true worth of a man is to be

measured by the objects he pursues.

Marcus Aurelius

It's a dangerous conception of mental hygiene

to assume that what man needs is equilibrium.

What man actually needs is not a tensionless

state but rather a striving and struggling

for a worthwhile goal.

Viktor Frankl

We pursue external goals to hit

an internal emotional target.

you exchange for it.

anything. Life is about creating

yourself and creating things.

Your legacy is every life you've ever touched.

Maya Angelou

Decide who you will be five years from now and then vizualise what success looks and feel liks for you.

- What do you look like and how are you dressed?

- Who are the people you surround yourself with?

- Where do you live? What does your home look like?

- Are you traveling to some exotic location or in an office at your dream job?

- Where do you go to have fun and who do you enjoy spending your time with?

- In what ways do you give back to your community?

- What do people know you for and how will you be remembered?

Once you have established this vision clearly in your mind's eye, begin writing out an in-depth description of this version of you that you just saw. Write your account in the first person and as though you have already achieved the healthy body and vibrant lifestyle you just envisioned.

Imagination is the beginning of creation.

You imagine what you desire,

you will what you imagine

and at last you create what you will.

George Bernard Shaw

Close your eyes and feel yourself

already having what you want.

This takes you from a state

of wanting to a state of being.

Mastin Kipp

If you will keep being your best,

you will come into a life that is

beyond your expectations.

Aristotle

SPECIFIC:

- What, specifically, are you ready to work on achieving?

MEASURABLE:

- What measuring stick will you use to make sure you are staying on track?

ACTIONABLE:

- What steps of action will you be taking on the path to achieving your goals?

RELEVANT:

- What will achieving this goal contribue to the overall vision you created for yourself in step 1?

TIME BOUND:

- Create a window of time to achieve your goal and commit to it.

- Reaffirm to yourself every morning how much time you have left to complete it,

then again before going to sleep.

Dreams are free, but goals have a cost,

which are time, effort, sacrifice and sweat.

Usain Bolt

Victory is reserved for those

who are willing to pay its price.

Sun Tzu

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is

necessary. If fulfils the same function

as pain in the human body. It calls

attention to an unhealthy state of things.

Winston Churchill

Your M.O. should be one or two sentences and reflect what it is you are going after and how you are going to achieve it, concisely and with precision.

Recite it daily, anchoring yourself to the pursuit of achieving your goal.

Most people just want to be in the result and not

in the process, and it's in the process where you

realize who deserves to be in the result.

Work to become, not to acquire.

Elbert Hubbard

God sells us all things at the price of labor.

Leonardo da Vinci

It is not what we think or feel that makes us

who we are. It is what we do. Or fail to do.

1. Write down your dream life.

2. List what changes you need to implement to create this life.

3. Break down each change into bite-sized action steps.

4. Implement the action steps into your daily habits.

- Remind yourself of why you're doing what you're doing every day.

- Visualize how the outcome of your goals is going to make you feel. Look at pictures. Say affirmations. Journal.

- Train your self-discipline. Exercise every day. Stick to a whole-food, plant-based diet.

Great things are done by a series

of small things brought together.

Vincent van Gogh

The good life is a process, not a state of being.

It's a direction, not a destination.

Carl R. Rogers

The path is the goal.

Mahatma Gandhi
