Diantie's Daily Quote - "Follow your bliss ..."

Today is the one year anniversary for my quotes blog. I did it. Yes, indeed it was a challenge. For me, writing a quote everyday required discipline and dedication. I stumble upon many quotes and I tried to find ones that were positive and at times, a little different from the norm. Today's quote is "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls." Author Joseph Campbell. This is so true and what a way to end my one year challenge. The universe has open doors for me and I am truly thankful. I had plans of starting another blog but I am not quite ready for it. Hopefully within the next few months, I will up and ready for that challenge. So what do I do tomorrow? The same thing I did today! Get up and write my quote for the day but I may add a little twist to it.

Sunshine a little bit; not to cold; but otherwise OK weather here in NYC. Weather prediction for Monday is 80+ degrees. Are we ready for this? Maybe, maybe not? Today's quote is "A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something." Author Wilson Mizner. I support the "good listener". It is amazing what you hear when you take the time to let other people do the talking. I have made many good decisions just by listening to what others were saying.

My next project is in the works but I am not quite ready to take it live.

Sunshine today in NYC and the temperature may possibly get up to the 50s or so they say. Rain tomorrow and the possibility of snow too. So much for making plans to do things.

Why should life end because we left the world? It is great that life continues.

This is so true. I may add true friends is what we secure. At times we may do things for others and those people may not want to be a friend. It is up to us to be take the steps to do a favor than to look for someone to do a favor for us. Give without expectation.

Today's quote is "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no thinks of changing himself." Author Leo Tolstoy.

Well this is not quite true. People do try to change themselves. There are tons of career coaches and life coaches out there. Their clients are people who are looking to change.

Wow! I am in my final days of writing this blog with less than a month to go before my one year is up. This was definitely a challenge and I have not decided whether or not I will continue. I have other challenges lined up that I want to take on so let's see how much time I have to devote to these personal challenges.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Once we believe..."

Raining here in NYC. At least I did not get soaked while I was out running my errands. I was told the weather will be much nicer in a few days which will be great.

Today's quote is "Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit." Author EE Cummings.

I saw we have to believe in ourselves; if we don't, then it's very hard for someone else to believe in us. Anyone who was a fan of Shark Tank would know that you cannot get any money from the Sharks if you did not believe in yourself. The show will be on again with a sneak preview on Sunday.

Today's quote is "Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself." Author Marcus Tullius Cicero.

No Sunshine in sight as yet. It may rain today but I hope not this morning as I have errands to run and not ready to deal with the rain.

Today's quote is "If you can't feed one hundred people, then feed one." Author Mother Teresa.

Yes, we have all heard this saying before but do we do it? In my religion, it is expected of us to do this. I used to sponsor an event and feed people but I don't do it anymore. Instead, I donate the money to various charities instead of one cause.

So if we all feed one person maybe no one will go hungry? Yes, I truly believe that. My goal this year is to actually feed some people at least one meal.

Sunshine and cold here again in NYC. A long day today and thankful the weekend is here for rest and relaxation.

Sunshine and cold here in NYC. I actually took a few minutes to look up at the sky last night and saw some interesting stars out there. It was too cold to stay out for a few minutes but I saw stars and that was enough.

Today's quote is "Sometimes what's right isn't as important as what's profitable." Author Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

I did say that I will start writing about what I see when I look up at the sky in the night so here goes. Last night the moon was bright and in full sight.

By co-incidence I picked this quote to write about today. Vince Lombardi was the coach of the Green Bay Packers during the 1960s. Today the Packers will be playing in the Superbowl. Although, I did not pick a side to win, it is evident the team with the most will to win may very well win.

I too have a will to win and I am going for it too!

Diantie's Daily Quote - "The greatest danger...

Rain and a little cold is what I experienced when I ventured out today. The colors for the lights tonight on the Empire State Building will be green, yellow and black.

Today's quote is "We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people." Author Arthur Schopenhauer.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Nothing is impossible..."

Rain, snow, whatever else the weather is serving up, I say bring it on. There is no sighting of the Empire State Building. The colors for the lights tonight will be orange and white for Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. Great cause!

Today's quote is "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible." Author Audrey Hepburn.

Love it! I do problem solving and analysis as well as other things. Many times when I hear it can't be done, I know that with enough effort and trial and error, there is a way. I recently read that Thomas Edison tried two thousand times or more to perfect the light bulb until he finally did it.

Entrepreneurs, are you listening?

Today's quote is "Wisdom is knowing when you can't be wise." Author Paul Engle.

Yes, that is the way to go - positive and confident all the way.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Believe in yourself..."

Another long day and I am looking forward to the weekend. I heard snow is in the forecast but I have not seen any as yet. The color for the lights tonight on the Empire State Building will be white. This morning on my way to take the train, I saw the full moon and it looked really big. It was quite a wonderful sight; which makes me wish I had a camera to take a picture of it to post here.

The blobs of clouds are passing over the Empire State Building and the skies are blue and yes, there is sunshine out there. The colors for the light tonight will be red, green and black for MLK day.

Today's Quote is "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." Author Martin Luther King, Jr.

What a coincidence that this quote was chosen for today by Brainy Quotes. I chose it too to write about because the words are very true. Take the first step in faith and be an optimist.

Congratulations to those Jets. Yes, as I New Yorker, I have to support the home team. I didn't watch the game but I heard what was happening in the background.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "The positive thinker...

Cold, that is how I feel when I walked by my open door. No venturing outside for me!

Diantie's Daily Quote - " Great thoughts always.."

Busy day and I am now getting to write this blog. I am totally convinced that I need one more hour in the day to do all my on-line activities. I love challenges but I need time to devote to them as well. It started off as a cold day and I have to say that it was not too bad this evening. The colors for the lights tonight on the Empire State Building are green and white.

Today's quote is "Great thoughts always come from the heart." Author Marquis De Vauvenargues.

Not much to add to that. So true.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Keep a cool head..."

It is now evening here in NYC. No more snow but it is cold. The Empire State Building is already lighted up in red so the schedule is correct. No sightings of the moon today but may be later when I get home, I might be able to see a trace of it up there in the sky.

Today's quote is "Keep a cool head and maintain a low profile. Never take the lead - but aim to do something big." Author Deng Xiaoping.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Do the hard ..."

Snow, snow and more snow. Yes, about 8-10 inches of it at my home. At 3 am the ploughs were outside cleaning up. Yes, you get the idea! Luckily for me, I was able to get a ride to the train station and the train was on-time. Wow! Amazing and all true. I've seen clouds pass over the Empire State Building; I've seen only clouds and now I actually see blue skies and clouds. Yes, there was also nice bright sunshine out there too. Wonders never ceased. The color for the lights tonight will be white.

Today's quote is "Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves." Author Dale Carnegie. This is the quote of the day from Brainy Quotes.

I have to totally disagree with that statement. Easy jobs don't take care of themselves; you have to find time to do it!

It's a co-incidence as I am faced with the same situation right now at work. Do I take on the hard tasks first or the easy ones? Guess what? I chose to do the easy ones first and get those out of the way so that I can at least accomplish something. Choosing otherwise, I would spend the whole day working on the hard tasks and nothing gets completed.

In my world, there is no fairy godmother to come and pick up the pieces for me.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "You must first have..."

Clouds, clouds and more clouds (that's right!) are passing over the Empire State Building as I write this blog. The color for the lights tonight will be white. A snow storm is expected for the NYC area and Long Island so it will be interesting to see just how much snow we will get.

Today's quote is "You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience." Author Stanislaw J. Lec.

Patience, let's see how much I have? Answer, none. Ask other people about my patience, the answer is - a lot. Most of us have a minimum tolerance level for patience because we want progress.

Right now at work I am spending hours just waiting for the various computer systems to process information before I can move forward. Yes, that requires a lot of patience. My day today will be spent waiting and waiting to get things done. Is it frustrating? yes! but I have learnt to have patience.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "You already possess..."

Sunshine, but it's cold out there! It is also cold in here. My little desk heater stopped working and I am freezing but trying to be positive at the same time. Dusty blue skies but I have this amazing view of the Moon, yes, that's right, the Moon is above to the right of the Empire State Building. My view is a quarter of the Moon. Gotta believe! The lights at the top of the Empire State Building will be white tonight.

Today's quote is "You already possess everything to become great." Author Crow - Indian Proverb.

Today's quote is "Few people can see genius in someone who has offended them." Author Robertson Davies.

Very true quote. I have to admit I am part of the other few people who see the genius. Yes, I believe in giving credit where it is due. Try it, it makes you a better person.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "I can live..."

Yes, it is almost the end of the day and I now have a few minutes to get to this blog. Way too busy doing too many things.

Today's quote is "I can live for two months on a good compliment." Author Mark Twain.

Well I have to admit I got a good compliment tonight. Will it last for two months? Probably not. But it is a nice feeling when people compliment you.

Diantie's Daily Quote - "Happiness is within..."

The first official working day for 2011. I actually started making a "to do list" for today so let's see how this will play out. Dusty blue skies, sunshine but a cold day here in NYC. The Empire State Building stands alone and the color for the lights tonight will again be red and green.


Today's quote is "Happiness is within. It has nothing to do with how much applause you get or how many people praise you. Happiness comes when you believe that you have done something truly meaningful." Author Martin Yan.


I like this quote and Martin Yan. My sister and I like to watch his cooking show. Those of you who have seen the show knows that "if Yan can cook, so can you" is the catchy phrase he uses and it is great.


I am planning to make 2011 a year about happiness and success for me and I wish everyone the same too.

Day 2 of the New Year and very grateful that I am home taking it easy and getting my personal chores done. It looks like rain drops outside but this will not stop me from getting my errands done.

Today's quote is "Sleep is the best meditation." Author Dalia Lama.

I have to admit that sleep is my favorite past time. Whenever possible, I try to take little naps here and there. While I do not always get the recommended hours of sleep, I try to get at least 6 hours each night. I can't function properly with less sleep.

Some people can vouch as to how energize they feel after taking a little nap during the day and I am one of them.

The Huffington Post published a blog about sleep on January 4, 2010. A point taken from the blog, "... if we sleep more, the more powerful we become." I second that!

Diantie's Daily Quote - "I can choose..."

Happy New Year to everyone. Yes, I am still at it and I have about 99 more postings to reach my goal of 365 quotes for the one year goal. Lots of things to accomplish this year and lots of plans have been made. Looking back at 2010, I can say that I achieved quite a lot and I am very proud of myself. I made more friends in 2010 than I did in all my life. One of my goals for 2011, is to make even more friends and I know I will.

Today's quote is "I can choose happiness whenever I wish no matter what my circumstances." Author unknown.

Always choose happiness; it makes you feel better! Yes, it requires effort and discipline, but we all have it in us to be happy.
