After letting consumers blaze the trail for most of the last ten years,

"The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but
through us, thrilling, tingling,
vibrating
every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and
sing."
- John Muir
"When coasting in our comfort zones, we don't grow. We continue to do more
of the same....
Maintaining a
comfort zone can, paradoxically, lead to discomfort in the long run. If by
being
comfortable
we avoid important life issues, internal tension accumulates....
Eventually,
as both internal and external pressures for change persist,
the "comfort
zone" ceases to serve us.
- Eric Allenbaugh
"Our inability to see beauty doesn't suggest in the slightest that beauty is
not there. Rather,
it suggests
that we are not looking carefully enough or with broad enough perspective
to see the
beauty."
- Rabbi Harold
Kushner
"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding
of ourselves."
- C. G. Jung

others what
we hide from ourselves."

than
a life spent
doing nothing."

"There are hundreds of paths up the
mountain,
all leading in the same direction,
so it doesn't matter which path you take.
The only one wasting time is the one
who runs around and around the mountain,
telling everyone else that their path is wrong."
- Hindu Teaching

world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when
there seemed to be no hope at all."

adjust the sails."

your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."
- William Faulkner

die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly."
- Langston Hughes
"A mediocre idea that generates
enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one."
- Mary Kay Ash, Chairwoman, Mary Kay Cosmetics
"The law of harvest is to reap more
than you sow. Sow an act, and you recap a habit. Sow a habit and you
reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny."
- James Allen
"I don't know the key to success, but
the key to failure is trying to please everybody."
- Bill Cosby
