MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862). U.S. philosopher, author, naturalist. “Conclusion,” Walden (1854).
THE BEATLES- CAN’T BUY ME LOVE ********This I know from the depths of my soul–it is love, not money that makes me whole. Oh money can buy me many things; fancy cars diamond rings, a house on a hill, or a fur to chase chill, but what good is all of that if I have no one to love? Sure, I’d have momentary bouts of happiness, but for me? I’d choose love any day.*******

SUPERFLUOUS
(adjective)
[soo-PUR-floo-ahs]

Origin:
Approximately 1380; from Latin, ’superfluus’: unnecessary, literally, overflowing, from ’superfluere’: to overflow (’super’: over + ‘fluere’: to flow).

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Remember, you will only receive what you truly expect, not what you only wish for.” -Bob Proctor
THE PIERCES- THREE WISHES *******This is a gorgeous song. This quote goes back to “thoughts become things” because we may wish for something until we’re blue in the face, but what we think will happen is what actually comes to pass. Watch your thoughts; they’re far more powerful than you think they are.*******
