Dr. Seuss "Keep walking, though there's no place to get to. Don't try to see through the distances. That's not for human beings. Move within, but don't move the way fear makes you move. Walk to the well. Turn as the earth and the moon turn, circling what they love. Whatever circles comes from the center."
- Rumi “It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west; they originate within one's own mind. Therefore, it is foolish to guard against misfortunes from the external world and leave the inner mind uncontrolled.”

Fill your bowl to the brim
And it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife, And it will blunt. Chase after money and security, And your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval, And you will be their prisoner. Do your work and then step back. The only path to serenity. Lao Tzu (Poem 9 from the Tao Te Ching) Take a look at those two open hands of yours.
They are tools with which to serve, make friends, and reach out for the best in life. Open hands up to the way of achievement. Put them to work today. --Wilfred A. Peterson “If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on
the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.” Albert Einstein I ask what cannot be sought. And when I find it, I will not see what it is. The wind is more visible. But I can feel the wind and go where it wants me to go.
Deepak Chopra “Become loving. When you are in the embrace, become the embrace. Become the kiss. Forget yourself so totally that you can say, ‘I am no more. Only love exists.’ Then the heart is not beating, but love is beating. Then the blood is not circulating, but love is circulating. Then eyes are not seeing, love is seeing. Then hands are not moving to touch, love is moving to touch. Become love and enter everlasting life. Love suddenly changes your dimension. You are thrown out of time and you are facing eternity. Love can become a deep meditation, the deepest possible. Lovers have known sometimes what saints have not known.”
