I knew I had to have the freedom to be myself, my highest self, and that nothing could stand in my way if I really wanted it. This freedom is there for anyone who wants to discover it. The way is to change our level of consciousness, to change the way we think about ourselves. If we have a taste of it, if we experience it, then we want to keep trying to practice, and eventually, we find that unlimited being within.

What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
- Bob Dylan

When inspiration does not come, I go half way to meet it.
- Freud

Every man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. He is like a ship in a river; he runs against obstructions on every side but one; on that side all obstruction is taken away, and he sweeps serenely over God’s depths into an infinite sea. This talent and this call depend on his organization, or the mode in which a general soul incarnates in him. He inclines to do something which is easy to him, and good when it is done, but which no other man can do. He has no rival. For the more truly he consults his own powers, the more difference will his work exhibit from the work of any other. When he is true and faithful, his ambition is exactly proportional to his powers. By doing his work he makes the need felt which he can supply.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

In times of change the learners shall inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

I passed a thousand signs
looking for my own name.

Visionaries are dreamers with a work ethic.

If you're at a dead end, take a deep breath, stamp your foot, and shout "Begin!" You never know where it will take you.
