Consider the comparisons you make today as you measure your success in striving to reach your goals. Judging yourself against the achievement of others or against what you think you should have achieved is no different than judging the fish by his ability to climb a tree.
Cultivate the habit of working to reach your goals and dreams, knowing that you will get there in your own way and in your own time--for inside you lies the genius to accomplish great things.
Today, I am grateful for Orion that sparkles in the night, for the moon that sends its glow back upon the earth and for night skies that fill me with awe.
I am grateful for the warm, peach sky that announces the arrival of dawn. I am grateful for clear black skies that melt slowing into blue. I am grateful for the swollen buds that adorn the trees waiting for the right moment to burst forth into green-gold leaves.
I am grateful for the call of the crow, its swift and silent flight and for its eagerness to start the day. I am grateful for treetops that catch the morning light, for hills that come alive with the touch of the sun and for rolling mounds of snow not yet melted into the earth.
I am grateful for family that brings inspiration when I least expect it, warmth when I need it most and laughter.
And, I am grateful for you, dear reader, as you stop to share my day. May you be filled with your inner genius as you go forth in the direction of your dreams.

This quotation needs to be attached to a beautiful poster of a fish swimming underneath a large tree with birds in it. That poster needs to find its way into every classroom in America! Thanks for posting, Damian Nash (Moab, UT)
I'm with the quote from above and would buy it in a minute if I could find one. I work in the foster care system and want it in my office.The world is full of squirrels but I am lucky enough to work with lot's of fish!
