Dogma island
You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.
The great danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
There is meaning in every journey that is unknown to the traveler.
You are the Hero of your own Story.
I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.
You have to be smart. The easy days are over.
Most everything that you want is just outside your comfort zone.
To be fully alive, fully human and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man’s land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.
The human system does not really want comfort, it wants challenge. It wants adventure.
Fear is overcome by doing what we fear to do. Action defeats fear, just as scissors cut paper.
Do. The. Work. Every day, you have to do something you don’t want to do. Every day. Challenge yourself to be uncomfortable, push past the apathy and laziness and fear.
No one is really going to help you or give you direction. In fact, the odds are against you.
Scrambling for security has never brought anything but momentary joy.
People at any stage will profit by taking the wheel and getting pointed in the right direction.
You are the captain of your own ship; the more you act from that perspective, the better things will go for you.
