Creating Your Masterwork


It is not our circumstances that create
our discontent or contentment.
It is us.
- Vivian Greene

No man is free who is not master of himself.
- Epictetus

Be avid.
Create apart from perfection.
Risk failure.
Cover your words with sweat.
Run a little
Touch excruciatingly.
Laugh until you cry.
Dance with your eyes closed.
Care.
Understand you die a little in every moment.
Be Enlivened
- Mary Anne Radmacher

You are in charge of your life.
The people you interact with every day are mostly focused
on their own fears and needs,
and generally don't make the extra effort to be kind to you.
Forgive them, and take responsibility
for creating your own life as your masterwork.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I sail the seas of life as the MASTER of my ship.

- Oprah Winfrey

[Be of service, but don't be a doormat.]

There are choirs singing in your head.
If you listen, you will hear the music.
It is the song of angels.
Pay no attention to the sounds of the world.
They are just noises, and even when
added up all together
they have no value, make no sense.
Strain to hear the song of angels.
Listen to the melody within your soul.
- Neale Donald Walsch
