Think back as far as you can to the moment you first began dreaming of the future. It wouldn’t have been dreaming in the obvious sense of the word. Rather, it’s more like visualizing yourself in a different role, shape, or place and being pleased with what you see. For many people, the answer to this question will be what they wanted to be when they grew up.

What’s your dream?

I have learned through bitter experience the one supreme lesson: To conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy, even so an anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world. – Mahatma Gandhi

The answer is that [we] must learn to accept suffering, especially the suffering involved with anxiety. Suffering, consciously accepted, has the ability to catalyze people, shocking them into awareness. Suffering also compels us to choose what meaning it has for us. When we choose a meaning for our experiences, we create ourselves. When [we] actively use suffering as a positive force in [our] lives, [we] not only give meaning to [our] lives, [we] also sustain [our] awareness of [ourselves]. The person who is able to give meaning to his or her suffering is both the self who suffers and the self who transcends suffering. In that moment, the self is aware and unified. - Don Richard Riso, Personality Types

If men learn [writing], it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for the most part they know nothing, and as men filled, not with wisdom, but with the conceit of wisdom, they will be a burden to their fellows. - Plato, Phaedrus 275a-b

A miniature door I can keep on my desk to slam at will.

Evite is terrible. Use Pingg.

Not speaking with my mentor and friend Mr. Montgomery enough.

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels; For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. - Matthew 25:41-45

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. – Thomas Edison

The wise sees knowledge and action as one; they see truly. – Bhagavad Gita
