  1. It is more rewarding to assume you can achieve something & fail, than to assume you can't & not try.
  2. @perpetualspiral Excellent point: Doing nothing is a skill that takes a lot of practice. Monks can spend years practicing that.
  3. Knowing how something is done, is not the same as knowing how to do something. It takes action to develop a skill, not just knowledge.
  4. @lorens210 That's the goal. But if you're not there yet, enjoy the experiences you have were you are now.
  5. In other words: Enjoy what's within your grasp, while reaching for the stars.
  6. There's a diffrence between "not being where you want to be", and "not being happy where you are". Think about it...
  7. Our minds are awash on the shores of life: ebing and flowing in the sands of time. Be as the deep lake: still and serene.
  8. Sometimes, being compassionate means being selfish: sometimes you have to take care of youself before you can help others.
  9. Words to keep thing in perspective: It was what it was; it is what it is; it takes as long as it takes.
  10. "Love must be as much a light, as it is a flame." ~Henry David Thoreau
  11. "Hate leaves ugly scars, love leaves beautiful ones." ~Mignon McLaughlin
  12. "Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence." ~Eric Fromm
  13. "What is right is often forgotten by what is convenient." ~Bodie Thoene, Warsaw Requiem
  14. "We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future." ~George Bernard Shaw
  15. "Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame." ~Erica Jong
  16. "A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes." ~ Mohandas Gandhi
  17. “It's better to light a candle then to curse the darkness.” ~Dr. Carl Sagan.
  18. “We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think its forever.” ~Dr. Carl Sagan

  20. @BuddhistCoach excellent point. Looking at the big picture, we are all connected because we all came from the same place.
