3 IDEAS FROM ME

I.

“Make mistakes, just don’t make them permanent.”


​II.

“The ideal form of work feels like play, but still accomplishes something useful and valuable.

Joyful for you. Helpful to others.”


III.

“If you’re unwilling to adapt to the future, you’ll justify the past.”

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I.

Author and futurist Robert Anton Wilson on the size of a person:

“You are precisely as big as what you love and precisely as small as what you allow to annoy you.”

​II.

Aviator and writer Anne Morrow Lindbergh on the importance of mixing suffering with reflection:

“I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable. All these and other factors combined, if the circumstances are right, can teach and can lead to rebirth.”
