As well the minds which are prevented

from changing their opinions;

they cease to be mind.

What Wrong with Riding Animals? 🐎

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

I sit on a man's back, choking him and making

him carry me, and yet assure myself and others

that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease

his lot by all possible means - except

by getting off his back.

Leo Tolstoy

He who is not a good servant

will not be a good master.

Plato

If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain,

If I can ease one life the aching,

Or cool one pain,

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain.

Emily Dickinson

that is love.

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.

in forest, field and den,

the cry goes up to witness,

the soullessness of men.

'my appetite is more important

than your suffering?'

not speak for them and represent them?

Let us all feel their cry of agony and let us 

all help that cry to be heard in the world.

of which you spare yourself the sight.

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.

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.
