My goal is not to be better than anyone else..but to be better that I used to be

You don't get what you want. You get what you are.

Be willing to dream, and imagine yourself becoming all that you wish to be. Keep in mind the basic axiom -- all that now exists was once imagined. It follows then that what you want to exist for you in the future must now be imagined.

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

Be gentle and forgiving with yourself, abandon any and all shame, and refuse to engage in any self-repudiation.

As a holistic being you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate.

Even if your Ego Doesn't Grasp it, this is the Truth: Everything is on Time Under Heaven's Net
