Am I There Yet?(first in a series)
You are on your path of purpose with purpose, making great strides toward becoming the human you were created and desire to become. You ask yourself “Am I there yet”? For a partial answer remind yourself of this… A very lofty goal and a measure of how close you are is your level of humility.
“Humility, is a language in which the I is silent, so that one can hear the thou”. – Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

Doubt As A Four Letter Word
You’re in the ring. You’re in the fight and executing your plan. Yet you can’t seem to land a punch that has any real impact. You’ve taken some hard punches. You start to wonder what it will take and if you have it. You start to consider throwing in the towel…. sing along with me, “It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight, rising up to the challenge of our rival”, Survivor
“Don’t be discouraged, it may be the last key in the bunch that opens the door”. – unattributed
“It takes twenty years to become an overnight success”. – Eddie Cantor

A Quick Thought That Deserves a Lot of Thought
“The virtue of angels is that they cannot deteriorate; their flaw is that they cannot improve. Humanity’s flaw is that we can deteriorate; but our virtue is that we can improve” – unattributed
Thoughts to Guide Us Through Every Precious Moment
“Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny”. – unattributed
We are taught that when we see a fault in another, we are to think of that person as though we were seeing our reflection. That reflection will not look exactly like us, but if we look close enough and deep enough we can learn more about ourselves and what to improve. Everything happens for a reason.
“Doesn’t this happen to us all the time? We get angry — at a stranger, at a friend, at a loved one — only to later discover that we were never truly angry at them, but at the person we thought they were…” The Chassidic Masters
Dreams Realized
The realization of your dream starts with beginning it. Once you actually start, you will get there one pedal stroke at a time. If it is worth starting, it is worth that much more when you finish.
“Finish what you start and that will make you stronger, healthier, better, Heart and Soul.”
“Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there”. — Will Roger
