When we are striving to live an empowered life, our every choice is important. Even the color of the clothes we wear for the day can affect us and the people around us. Certainly the attitude we choose to face the day and the people around us has an effect. Life itself is a choice. The choice of life is one we make every day whether we realize it or not. Every action we take either supports life, or not. We are the only ones who can make a difference - by each and every choice we make …Marie T. Russell

I’ll die one day and the day after that the sun will rise. And then one day the sun will die too, transformed into a supernova. And the day after that, as each and every day before, countless suns will rise over countless planets and beings, known only in our imaginations. 2/18/07 morning pages

In the light of a truly freed mind no prejudice can disguise itself as zeal, no bullying can masquerade as leadership, no pettiness can pose as importance. The freed mind will never confuse a sentimentality with a true emotion, an act of violence with an act of heroism, a slogan with a cause. Men and women with freed minds may often be mistaken, but they are seldom fooled. They may be influenced, but they can't be intimidated. They may be perplexed, but they will never be lost… Robert F. Kennedy

The problem with “You should be doing better,” is that we become convinced that we don’t naturally excel or strive, seek or care. We come to believe that without tyrannical exhortation nothing good or excellent would ever happen. It is a lie. We are made to excel, strive, seek and care. If excelling, striving, seeking and caring were punished by death, we would do it anyway . ..John Anderson, Ph.D

Let us learn, then, from those in search of what they have not been able to find and hold in the press of humanity around them: peace of mind, gentleness of heart, calmness of spirit, daily joy. Those who are mastering the art of flying solo and soaring to their highest human potential. Who have come to understand that to know and to love and to be of value to others, they first must know and love and value themselves; that to find their way in the world, they have to start by finding themselves. …Lionel Fisher
