Pursue excellence and ignore success. If you are excellent you will be successful

During meditation, our breathing slows, our blood pressure and heart rate decrease, and stress hormone levels fall.

You cannot be brave if you do not have a coward inside you.

The present moment is the still point around which the universe arises and subsides, only to be reborn again, fresh as a new born child.

Inner resilience and the ability to bounce back are personal qualities. ... Align yourself with someone who has this kind of resilience so that your own can be strengthened. Find another oak to weather the storm with you. Anyone who is in touch with his or her core self will always respond.

This is the nature of genius, to be able to grasp the knowable even when no one else recognizes that it is present.

The more boundless your vision, the more real you are.
