The universe….

The universe doesn’t give you what you ask for with your thoughts – it gives you what you demand with your actions.

– Steve Mariboli

I have looked…

I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

– Steve Jobs

Faced with…

Faced with the choice between changing one’s mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.

– J K Galbraith

The philosophers….

The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.

– Karl Marx

Every human…

Every human has four endowments – self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.

I cannot….

I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is that they must change if they are to get better

– George Christoph Lichtenberg

We are…

We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams.
World-losers and world-forsakers,
Upon whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever, it seems.

– Arthur O’Shaughnessy

I know…

I know quite certainly that I have no special talent. Curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas

– Albert Einstein

Renew….

Renew, release, let go……Yesterday’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back. You can’t “should’ve” done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is a new day!

– Steve Maraboli

I have…

I have accepted fear as part of life; specifically the fear of change… I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back
