Eccentricity is not,
as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness.
It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of
genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as
eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely
unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and
vagaries of the crowd.

Anxiety leads to a narrowing of the field of attention, the so-called tunnel vision, and when people are anxious, they are unable to attend to the total situation as is necessary to enable them to act rationally, but impulsively do the first thing that comes into their heads which is usually determined by what others are doing at the same time.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reasons for existing.

People shouldn't
hesitate to exert their all, in a way true to
themselves. How can you possibly ever know how far or

affront to the wondrous power of life within you and
disrespectful to yourself. It is cowardly.

Courage is reclaiming

you are once again whole, productive, special...

What is success in
life? Who are the truly successful? There are famous and
powerful people who become pitiful figures in their old
age. There are people who die alone, feeling empty and
desolate inside. Just what is success? The English
thinker Walter Pater (1839–94) wrote: "To burn always
with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy,
is success in life." The person who lives life fully,
glowing with life's energy, is the person who lives a
successful life.

To listen is to
continually give up all expectation and to give our
attention, completely and freshly, to what is before us,
not really knowing what we will hear or what that will
mean. In the practice of our days, to listen is to lean
in, softly, with a willingness to be changed by what we
hear.

But an accurate
definition of the self is impossible.
You are more than you realize,

Your past is not your identity...
You, living now, is your identity.

Truly every new idea
is a violation of some older idea; as the awakening of
tomorrow is a violation of today's slumber. As long as

he disobeys: in breaking, he creates.

and the tree that nurtured it.

To lead a life in which we
are inspired and can inspire others, our hearts have to be
alive; they have to be filled with passion and enthusiasm. To

conviction to be able to think for ourselves and to take action
out of our own sense of responsibility.

contemporaries, the connection of events.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
02/04/2008
Humble men and women do not have a low opinion of themselves; they have no opinion of themselves, because they so rarely think about themselves. The heart of humility lies in undivided attention to God and a de-selfing of our plans, projects, ambitions and soul. Humility is an indifference to our own well-being and a carefree disregard of the image we present. No longer concerned with appearing to be good, we can move freely in the mystery of who we really are, aware of the sovereignty of God and of our absolute insufficiency and yet moved by a spirit of radical self-acceptance without self-concern.
