Someone Not Something

The animals of the world exist for their own

reasons. They were not made for humans

any more than black people were made

for white, or women created for men.

Alice Walker

Animals are my friends...

and I don't eat my friends.

George Bernard Shaw

The problem is that humans have victimized

animals to such a degree that they are

not even considered victims.

They are not considered at all.

Gary Yourofsky

Animals are not ours to eat, wear,

experiment on, use for entertainment

or for any exploitative purpose.

Sharon Gannon

Once we accept this view of animals - as our

resources - the rest is as predictable

as it is regrettable.

Tom Reagan

Anyone who moves is not

supposed to be eaten.

Bob Marley

I don't see why someone should lose their life

just so you can have a snack.

Russell Brand

I hold that the more helpless a creature,

the more entitled it is to protection

by man from the cruelty of man.

Mahatma Gandhi

The soul given to each of us is moved by

the same living spirit that moves the Universe.

Albert Einstein

In every living being there is the desire for love.

D.H. Lawrence

There is no fundamental difference between man

and animals in their ability to feel pleasure

and pain, happiness and misery.

Charles Darwin

Jo Frederiks

We've objectified certain animals so much

that we refer to them as 'livestock'.

'Stock' that just so happens to be alive.

An inconvenience that they were

even alive to begin with.

Ed Winters

I don’t want to eat anything that had a mother.

Fred Rogers

The pain that we cause is the cause of our pain.

Leif Erikson

Jo Frederiks

Every bit of meat, chicken or fish you eat,

every bit of leather or fur you wear,

has come from an animal that has

been tortured, pulled away from their

family and brutally killed.

Lewis Hamilton

Only those who are capable of loving strongly

can also suffer great sorrow, but this same

necessity of loving serves to counteract

their grief and heals them.

Leo Tolstoy

Jo Frederiks

One should not kill a living being,

nor cause anyone to be killed,

nor should one incite another to kill.

Do not injure any being,

either strong or weak, in the world.

Buddha

The world is not a factory and

animals are not products for our use.

Arthur Schopenhauer

The Path is the Goal

The true worth of a man is to be

measured by the objects he pursues.

Marcus Aurelius

Health

Business

Friends

Family

Passions

Relationships

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

The price of anything is the amount of life

you exchange for it.

Henry D Thoreau

He who has a why to live

can bear almost any how.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Life isn't about finding yourself or finding

anything. Life is about creating

yourself and creating things.

Bob Dylan

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.

Jane Austen

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 path is the goal.

Mahatma Gandhi
