What you are longing for is longing for you.

Sure, it's easy to be upbeat when everything is going your way. Anyone can do that. It is far more important, however, to take a positive approach in circumstances that most people would view as negative.

Feelings come and feelings go. There is no need to fear them and no need to crave them. Be open to your feelings and experience them while they are here. Then be open to the feelings that will come next. Your feelings are a part of your experience. Yet no mere feeling, however intense it may seem, is your permanent reality.

When one approach is not working to reach the desired goal, that's not a reason to abandon the goal. Instead, it is time to devise another approach.

Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.

Spread the seeds of encouragement far and wide, and delight in the bountiful harvest that they will surely bring.

Your level of achievement will rise to meet the level of your purpose.
