“I respect the person who knows distinctly what he wishes.

The greater part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims.

They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labour on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut.”
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Be aware of your feelings for they become thoughts.
Watch your thoughts for they become words.
Choose your words for they become actions.
Understand your actions for they become habits.
Study your habits for they will become your character.
Develop your character for it becomes your destiny.

My Quest is the Same as Yours

“I have grown tired of where I am,

I am tired of my small-mindedness.

I am tired of my excuses.

I am tired of who I am.

I am tired of pretending that I have it all figured out.

I want to become something more than who I am today.

Who I am today, is not who I am meant to become.

My quest is the same as yours.

The question we all face is: What are you willing to shed to become who you were meant to become?”

~ Rev. Peter Gomes, Renowned theologian at Harvard University, Awarded 36 honorary degrees.

With continued curiosity,

Delicious Ambiguity

“I wanted the perfect ending. Now I've learned the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end.

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

Delicious Ambiguity.”
~ Gilda Radner

Intimacy = The Long & Happy!

"Nothing guarantees a long happy marriage except two people willing to throw themselves, headlong, into the uncertainty, the inevitable pain and disappointment, the absolutely guaranteed failures and essential bravery, of INTIMACY.

It does take two - and that's a shame, because so many not-too-bad marriages have one person who is willing to make that leap and one who is, at heart, not - but if you have two people who are willing to make themselves better, more vulnerable, more honest than they were the year before, you, you lucky few, have a shot at the long and happy."

Speak with Intention

Before opening your mouth, ask yourself two questions: what do I really want? Is what I'm about to say right now going to get me closer to what I want?
