&#8220;Your chances of success
are directly proportional
to the degree of pleasure
that you derive from what you do.&#8221;

Michael Korda

By all objective standards, he was good at his job.
He was able to fulfill the job description without incident.
He had been a solid, stable employee for the past seven years.
He produced&#8230;and completed&#8230;and performed&#8230;very well.
But, when he talked about his [...]]]></description>

&#8220;If you wish the world to become loving and compassionate,
become loving and compassionate yourself.
If you wish to diminish fear in the world,
diminish your own.
These are the gifts you can give.&#8221;

&#8220;Playing it safe is the riskiest choice we can ever make.&#8221;
Sarah Ban Breathnach


If you never push yourself,
you&#8217;re never know what you&#8217;re capable of doing.
You&#8217;ve played it safe, for a long time,
in so many areas of your life.
Playing it safe means you aren&#8217;t really playing at all..
you&#8217;re watching.


Sometimes it can work to stay nestled in that [...]]]></description>

&#8220;The more you seek security, the less of it you have.
But, the more you seek opportunity,
the more likely it is that you will achieve
the security that you desire.&#8221;

&#8220;Security can only be achieved through constant change,
through discarding old ideas
that have outlived their usefulness
and adapting others to current facts.&#8221;

William O. Douglas
Live on the edge&#8230;
Today, do something that most never have the courage, or the faith, to do.

Take inventory of your life.
What does that mean, and how does one do it?
Simple.
Answer these questions&#8230;

Jim Larrangaga
It is often acceptable to be good enough.
A lot of people do just what they need to do to get by&#8230;
and, they do get by.
They aren&#8217;t blazing new paths or leaving lasting impressions.

Does this help?
Does this give the permission (and the freedom) to being open to learning?
Does this hold the potential, the promise,
and the possibility for growth?


If each moment is a place you have never been, could that make room in life for you to accept any imperfections or [...]]]></description>

When you&#8217;re driving, you can&#8217;t always see what&#8217;s coming on the road, can you?
But yet you keep moving forward.
You drive, and you trust that even when you can&#8217;t see what is ahead,
