    “If your fidelity to perfectionism is too high, you never do anything.” ~ David Foster Wallace

      “A jet plane cannot mow the lawn, but it can fly to distant destinations. Don’t worry so much about what you can’t do; just do what you can as only you can do it.” ~ Dan Millman

        “Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don’t be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally know who you are.” ~ Kristin Armstrong

        The 10 Universal Laws of the Warrior Code by Dawn Callen

          1. Pay Attention. Stay in the present. It’s the only place anything real is happening.
          2. Take Responsibility. This is your life, take it back. Either you get to own it or you get to blame someone or something else for it. Choose.
          3. No Kvetching (to complain persistently). No whining, no sniveling – it takes you out of the present and lets you abdicate responsibility.
          4. Don’t Take Any Abuse. It’s very bad for ones self esteem to take any abuse. Stand up to your tyrants, both internal and external. The cost is too great not to.
          5. Do It Anyway. Hard choices temper our strength and our integrity; they make the difference between a life of excellence and a life of mediocrity.
          6. Don’t Quit. Look at what stops you, at where you give the effort up. That is the edge between becoming a victim or a warrior.
          7. Keep Your Agreements. A warrior is only as good as his or her word. The way we build self-trust and trust in others is by making and keeping agreements.
          8. Keep Your Sense of Humor. Otherwise what’s the point? Humor helps us to stretch beyond our own limits and ourselves.
          9. Love One Another. Otherwise where’s the meaning? It’s the way we remember we’re not alone in the universe.
          10. Honor Your Connection To The Source. There is a force in the universe, greater than ourselves that creates us, provides for us, cares for us, guides us, and loves us. It speaks to us from within. Trust it.

          Be Thankful

            “Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
            If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
            Be thankful when you don’t know something
            For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

            Be thankful for the difficult times.
            During those times you grow.
            Be thankful for your limitations
            Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
            Be thankful for each new challenge
            Because it will build your strength and character.

            Be thankful for your mistakes
            They will teach you valuable lessons.
            Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
            Because it means you’ve made a difference.
            It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
            A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
            also thankful for the setbacks.

            GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
            Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
            and they can become your blessings.”

              “Who are we, if not measured by our impact on others? That’s who we are! We’re not who we say we are, we’re not who we want to be – we are the sum of the influence and impact that we have, in our lives, on others.” ~ Carl Sagan
