    “Don’t think about why you question, simply don’t stop questioning.  Don’t worry about what you can’t answer, and don’t try to explain what you can’t know.  Curiosity is its own reason.  Aren’t you in awe when you contemplate the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure behind reality?  And this is the miracle of the human mind—to use its constructions, concepts, and formulas as tools to explain what man sees, feels and touches.  Try to comprehend a little more each day.  Have holy curiosity.” ~ Albert Einstein, via Mastery

      “Any plan is better than no plan, and a good plan executed now is far better than a perfect plan executed too late.” ~ Mark Divine, The Way of the Seal

        “If you’re looking for a big opportunity, seek out a big problem.” ~ H. Jackson Brown, via The Way of the Seal

          “Failure does not deserve to be addressed with recrimination or pity.  Rather, failure must be honored for the insight it provides.  Failure is the grist for learning; it is our teacher.” ~ Mark Divine, The Way of the Seal

            “I believe the world is chaotic and destiny favors the prepared.  Unfortunately, sometimes chaos just refuses the harness, no matter how well you bulletproof your mission and how committed you are to finding a way.  Moving forward despite chaotic conditions—and sometimes because of them—is inherently risky, and since we don’t shy away from risk, you will inevitably experience failure, probably more often than you succeed, actually.” ~ Mark Divine, The Way of the Seal

              “The tougher things get, the smaller your goals should become.” ~ Mark Divine, The Way of the Seal

                “I don’t think that people realize that you’re not supposed to go peacefully.  After I came out of almost dying, it really dawned on me how distorted people’s concept of dying is because they think that if they can go peacefully that that means that they’ve lived a good life.  That if you can just let it go and you can be completely detached to the outcome, that that means you’re more spiritually enlightened, or that you’re doing it better, or that you’ve had a better life—the truth is, the whole point of dying is to be scared.  Because that means that your life meant something to you.  You should fear dying.  You should be terrified of it.  Even though it’s natural, even though it’s going to happen, even though you should come to terms with it in a certain way and go through the feeling of it and have a relationship with it—you also should acknowledge the fact that when it’s going to happen, no matter how much you prepare, you’re going to be terrified.  Because life does mean something.  And there’s a part of your brain that knows you’re letting it go.  And you’re always going to grieve that when it happens.  And that’s okay.  It’s okay to be terrified.” ~ Claire Wineland, YouTube
