A pogo game just told me this one--

"Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself."-- George Bernard Shaw

And one of my all time favorite little prayers for the religious type:

"Thou who has prepared a place for my soul, prepare my soul for that place."-- Joseph Hall

Its easy to call the dancer crazy when you're not hearing the music.

Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.


You don't have to blow out someone else's candle in order to let your own flame shine.

A young man once travelled across Japan to attend the school of a famous karate instructor. When he arrived at the school, he met the sensei. "what do you wish" he asked.

The young man replied, "I wish to be your student and be the finest karateka in the land. How long must I study?"

"Ten years" was the answer.

"long time" the man said. "what if I studied twice as hard as the rest?"

"twenty years" said the sensei.

"What!" said the man. "well what if I practice day and night with all my effort?"

"Thirty years" the sensei replied.

"How i it that if I say i will work harder, you say it will take longer?" asked the bewildered young man.

"because," answered the Sensei, " the answer is clear. When one eye is fixed upon your destination, there is only one eye left with which to find the Way."

“One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.” -Anthony Robbins
