Individual Responsibility

Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

We cannot become ...

"We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are"

 Max Dupree

Your memory is a monster

Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!

John Irving

You Only Live Once

The C's In Life

The C's In Life: choices, chances and changes. 

You must make a Choice to take a Chance or your life will never Change

Everything will be all right

Everything will be all right in the end, 

so if it's not all right, 

it is not yet the end!

(from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel)

Letting Old Beliefs Go

It is hard to let old beliefs go. They are familiar. We are comfortable with them and have spent years building systems and developing habits that depend on them. Like a man who has worn eyeglasses so long that he forgets he has them on, we forget that the world looks to us the way it does because we have become used to seeing it that way through a particular set of lenses. Today, however, we need new lenses. And we need to throw the old ones away.
