Stage - Oregon license plate
One of Shakespeare’s many famous lines is: ”All the world’s a stage. And all the men and women merely players…”
The first part’s true enough, but to say we are merely players isn’t right at all.
We are writers, directors and stars. Creating our lives and altering outcomes with our every thought and deed.
The world is a stage. And all the men and women create their lives upon it.
I Care - Oregon license plate
We could use a few more people like this in the world.
Not only does this person care, he or she cares enough to declare it–and that takes gumption.
Whatever it is you care about, stand up for it. It’ll be one of the best and truest things you can do–for yourself.

Que Pasa? Washington plate
Sometimes the friendliest question we ask is “what’s happening with you?”
It gives people the opportunity to share their experiences. Knowing someone cares enough to ask–and then listen–gives us that warm, fuzzy, ‘I’m valued’ feeling. And who doesn’t like that?
So, que pasa, mi amigo?
Who Yaah!
A lot of things are good for your heart. Being happily excited about something to the point of shouting positive exclamations is one of them.
Who Yaah!
See? Just like eating a plate of salmon or a bowl of lentils.
You raise me up - Washington plate
To tell someone, “you make me want to be a better man / woman” is a pretty great compliment.
An even better one is “you raise me up.”
Whatever elevates you–whether it’s your spouse, your friend, your music or your God–is something to be deeply grateful for.
Hallelujah. Amen. And darn tootin’!
Relax - Oregon plate
40% of what we worry about never actually happens.
Bill Gates gets 4 million emails every day. And the IRS has an entire computer dedicated to his tax return. You probably get 50 – 200 emails a day and the IRS doesn’t even know your name.
Brittney Spears has 30 to 45 paparazzi following her around every night waiting for her to do something stupid. My guess is you have zero following you.
Over 90% of all airplane crashes have survivors.
So see, there’s really nothing to worry about. You can relaax.
Plus, as a human you share 35% of your DNA with daffodils–which are very lovely.
