Book ideas are like planes, lined up to approach the runway. Some never leave the gate, but others move quickly to the front of the line. It was like that with The Four Purposes. Honestly, I cannot remember the moment I had the idea for the book; perhaps because it emerged like a green shoot emerging from the soil of my subconscious. But it seemed important enough to begin the flow of words that eventually shaped themselves into this new book.

The warrior is Here, Now.

Aim not to win or succeed, but for excellence in the moment.

Better never begin; once begun, better finish.

You have to lose your mind in order to regain your senses.

If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.

If you want a kinder world, then behave with kindness; if you want a peaceful world, make peace within.
