“Change is the
essence of life.
Be  willing to surrender
what you are for what
you could become.”
--Anonymous


I was always looking
outside myself
for strength
and confidence,
but it comes from within.
It is there all the time.

---Anna Freud


We've removed the ceiling above our dreams.
There are no more impossible dreams.
Jesse Jackson

You're alive. Do something.
The directive in life, the moral imperative was so
uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not
complete sentences.
It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act.
Barbara Hall, A Summons to New Orleans, 2000

The first step to getting the
things you want out of
life is this:
Decide what you want.
Ben Stein

Every day you may make progress.
Every step may be fruitful.
Yet there will stretch out before you an
ever-lengthening, ever-ascending,
ever-improving path.
You know you will never get to the end
of the journey.
But this, so far from discouraging, only
adds to the joy and glory of the climb.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)

I haven't a clue as to how my story
will end. But that's all right.
When you set out on a journey and night
covers the road, you don't conclude that
the road has vanished. And how else
could we discover the stars?
Unknown

You must dare to disassociate yourself from those who would delay your journey...
Leave, depart, if not physically, then mentally. Go your own way, quietly,
undramatically, and venture toward trueness at last.
Vernon Howard

We don't receive wisdom; we must
discover it for ourselves after a journey
that no one can take for us or spare us.
Marcel Proust (1871 - 1922)

The longest journey is the journey inward.
    Dag Hammarskjold (1905 - 1961)

Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace
that distant shore. Because our mortal
journey is over all too soon.
David Assael, Northern Exposure, It Happened in
Juneau, 1992

Courage is not the absence of
fear, but rather the judgment that
something else is more important
than fear.
Ambrose Redmoon

Everyone should
carefully observe which
way his heart draws him,
and then choose that
way with all his strength.
Hasidic Saying

Every time you don't follow
your inner guidance, you feel
a loss of energy,
loss of power, a sense of
spiritual deadness.
Shakti Gawain
