You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however. There is a time for departure even when there is no certain place to go. Once you make the fundamental choice to be the predominant creative force in your life, any approach you choose to take for your own growth and development can work, and you are especially attracted to those approaches which will work particularly well for you. He who has begun his task has half done it. All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing. Men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better off than those who try to do nothing and succeed. It is by what we ourselves have done, and not by what others have done for us, that we shall be remembered in after ages.

Stop freewheeling, get into gear, and do something with your life. There are so many avenues to explore, so why not explore them? Never be afraid to step into the unknown, into the new. Do it fearlessly, always expecting the very best as you do so. If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm. You do not have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things, to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff ...and it's All Small Stuff. Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers. Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no ones definition of your life, but define yourself. Nothing determines who we will become so much as those things we choose to ignore. Nothing of great value in life comes easily.

Nothing comes from doing nothing. Do or do not. There is no try. Do not play for safety; it is the most dangerous thing in the world. You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures. The way to be safe is never to be secure.
