"The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself."

"Seeing yourself in print is such an amazing concept: you can get so much attention without having to actually show up somewhere... You don't have to dress up, for instance, and you can't hear them boo you right away."

Amber Hurdle

"We've all been in the middle of a conversation and the person with whom we are speaking breaks eye contact, appears distracted, glazes over, or looks elsewhere. Their simple eye movement can quickly break down communications by making us feel ignored, dismissed, or rejected. For some, it may be accidental and unintentional, while for others, avoiding eye contact is on purpose."

"When you are "off somewhere else" people notice. Have you found yourself in conversations in which you're so concerned about what you are going to say next, that you don't even hear what the other person is saying? Guilty as charged, right?"

"We really teach ourselves. If you want to learn, you will always find someone to learn from, be they dead or alive, great or unknown. You learn from everything you see and hear around you - if you are willing to pay attention."

Amber Hurdle

"Are You Listening Attentively? There's so much power in listening! I challenge you to listen more. Really pay attention to what people are saying. What are they REALLY talking about? Many times we overlook and/or make excuses for people's conversations. Don't allow people to dump garbage in your spirit. What we listen to can have a negative effect on what, and how, we think. Be choosy about the relationships you entertain. Surround yourself with people that bring out the best in you. People that are positive, inspiring, and genuine. Remember: Value your time! Don't waste it on dead - end and/or fake relationships."

Amber Hurdle

"The person whose attention is in the 'pure Soul' is known as a renowned person. No one in the past had been celebrated as a famous person, they were called renowned persons. To be famous is the result of an 'above normal' state."

Amber Hurdle

"As soon as you get a certain amount of attention, then everybody kinda wants to start taking pot shots at you. All your old friends that supported you don't support you any more."

Amber Hurdle

"You don't care for anybody... you just do it for attention, isn't it true?"
