"..... when people know each other well, they create an implicit joint memory system - a
transactive memory system - which is based on an understanding about who is best suited to
remember what kind of things"
Malcolm Gladwell

Good is the enemy of great.
And that is one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great………Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life.
Jim Collins

One of the biggest lessons on the spiritual journey is learning to love unconditionally. However, what is often overlooked, is the importance of loving yourself along with everything else. After all, aren't you a part of the whole of Life? There's a wonderful Japanese poem - a haiku - which cleverly illustrates this. It goes, "On my horse, clip-clopping through the field. Oho! I'm part of the picture!" As you grow to realize that you are an integral part of Life's grand picture, it becomes clear that loving yourself along with everything else is part of the mission.
Jim Malloy

"The soul attracts that which it secretly harbors; that which it loves, and also that which it fears; it reaches the height of its cherished aspirations; it falls to the level of its unchastened desires. Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and bearing its own furtive of opportunity and circumstance. Good thoughts bear good fruit; bad thought, bad fruit.
James Allen

Oh, I sing grandeurs and glories about you! You have not known who you are. You have slumbered upon yourself all your life. The mockeries are not you; Underneath them and within them I see you lurk. Whoever you are, claim your own!
Walt Whitman

You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stomp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.
Shakti Gawain

"A good conscience is to the soul what health is to the body; it preserves constant ease and serenity within us; and more than countervails all the calamities and afflictions which can befall us from without."
Joseph Addison (1672-1719)
