Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. (M. Williamson)

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.
Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.

YOU NEVER KNOW

You never know when someone
may catch a dream from you.
You never know when a little word,
or something you may do
May open up a window
of the mind that seeks the light,
The way you live may not matter at all...
but you never know - it might.

And just in case it could be
that another's life through you,
Might possibly change for the better
with a broader brighter view.
It seems it might be worth a try
at pointing the way to the right,
Of course, it may not matter at all,
but then again it might.

I do not know who wrote it

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help little men by tearing down big men.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.
And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
William J. H. Boetcker

I do not choose to be a common man
It is my right to be uncommon...if I can
I seek opportunity...not security. I do not
wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled
by having the state look after me

I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and
to build, to fail and to succeed

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole
I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia

I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor
my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat

It's my heritage to stand erect, proud and
unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy
the benefit of my creations and to face the
world boldly and say, this I have done
" My creed " by Dean Alfange

Before you can write a cheque , you must make out a deposit slip.Before you can draw money out of a bank, you must put money into the bank.before you are intitled to a living, you must give the world a life. If you want to make a first- class living, learn to give the world a first-class life
William J. H. Boetcker

'......teaching is nothing like the art of painting, where,
by the addition of material to a surface, an image is
synthetically produced, but more like the art of sculpture,
where, by the subtraction of material,an image already
locked in the stone is enabled to emerge....'John Gatto

'If the First Wave wealth system was chiefly based on growing things, and the 2nd Wave on making things, the 3rd Wave wealth system is increasingly based on serving, thinking, knowing and experiencing'
Alvin Toffler

. The journalist, Lincoln Steffens once wrote, “Nothing is done. Everything in the world remains to be done, or done over. The greatest picture is not yet painted. The greatest play isn’t written. The greatest poem is unsung. Nothing is perfect; faucets drip, airlines lose luggage, tires still go flat.” “But,” said Steffens, referring to his son, “there is a job for him and his generation in the plumbing business, and in every other business. Teach your children,” he urges, “that nothing is done, finally and right, that nothing is known, positively and completely, that the world is theirs; all of it"

We cannot control the tragic things that happen to us, but we can control the way we face up to them

Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves.
Rollo May

Human freedom involves our capacity to pause, to choose the one response toward which we wish to throw our weight.
Rollo May

It is an ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way.
Rollo May

It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle.
Rollo May

THE FIRST STEP
To take the first step
Is a frightening thing.
To face the unknown
The uncertainty it brings.
But like the child
Who is tired of the crawl,
The first step is
The most important of all.

It expands your horizons,
You can see a new light.
The joy of discovery
Is like taking flight.
The first step you take
Will open all doors,
To see yourself as
You've seen you before.

And like the child
Who gives it his all,
Sometimes he faulters,
He will teeter and fall.
But strong arms are there
To catch them and then,
They stand him back up
To start walking again.

The longest journey,
Takes one step at a time,
But once you get going
You'll do just fine.
Take my hand, friend
I'll help you along
I'll be right beside you...
As two we'll be strong.

Yes, the first step's a big one,
The most important of all.
But I'll be there to catch you
Should you teeter and fall.
We'll set our sights forward
Grit our teeth and walk on...
When we see that road ending,
We'll break into a run.

I love you, I'll help you
All the way through.
But to take the first step,
We'll that's up to you.
Rabona Turner Gordon
