Only those have a true chance at success who recognize that the real roadblocks to any achievement lie within and not without.

It is abject failure to succeed at another person's definition of success. Rediscover yourself.

Much of life is waiting; much of waiting is a withering away of life. All of waiting is an anticipation - often hurried, occasionally mindful - to come up on the end of waiting. I often feel that waiting is mutual - life waits for us while we wait for life. In the mad rush of living, arrival has become but a fantastical thought. What does it feel like to not be waiting for something, for someone, for anything at all... Can we know now or do we have to wait to find out...?

We often misunderstand those who truly love us for they look at us with eyes with which we can only wish we could see ourselves. The look of love is devoid of all disfigurements.

Occasionally that which we cannot be without - family, friends, job, personal desires and demands - masquerades as that which we cannot be with. The lure of freedom from demands is enticing but is it really freedom that is slave to conditions? Let's find our freedom, our joy, our love right where we are, with whomever we are. A moment ignited with a smile often bursts into laughter smile emoticon

Living is marked by planning; Life by the unexpected.
