" To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior , in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man . We make ourselves into one or the other."

-Carlos Castañeda

" The spirit, the will to win , and the will to excel are the things that endure. 

These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur."

- Vince Lombardi

" When you are on a journey, and the end keeps getting further and further,

then you realize that the real end is the journey." 

- Karlfried Graf Durkheim

Why are stories so important?. Which are the stories we say ourselves?. We tell others?. Once again, why is this so important?.

"Because we live by the stories we tell ourselves...."

" The stories we tell are fundamental to who we are, 

but they are also elemental to what we can achieve."

What is it that is important?....

"A "No" uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble."

-Mohandas Gandhi

Here is a little but very important story I received today,

This little bird had his wing over his eye and he was crying. 

The Owl said to the bird, " You are crying."

"Yes", said the little bird, and he pulled his wing away from his eye.

"Oh, I see", said the Owl. "You are crying because the big bird pecked out your eye."

And the little bird said, "No, I'm not crying because the big bird pecked out my eye. I am crying because I let him."

"It's easy to let influence shape our lives, to let associations determine our direction, to let pressures overwhelm us, and to let tides take us. The big question is : Are we letting ourselves become what we wish to become?"

From Jim Rohn Weekly Ezine - Issue 523

" Games are a compromise between intimacy

and keeping intimacy away."

-Eric Berne

Sometimes we play games to avoid intimacy. And intimacy is not "sexual". Intimacy is a need we all have to see and be seeing as who we are and nothing more. And yet we don't dare it. Why?. This is the question we must ask ourselves. And seek our answer.

" Forgiveness doesn't change the past ,

but it does enlarged the future."
