more.

The goal is to discover the authentic you.
Not the role given to you…
But the role you were meant to play.

The “Narcissism Drumbeat” is the sound of one hand clapping,
which does make a noise, as long as you are there to hear your own hand doing
the clapping.

The language of “happiness” and “leading a deep,
meaningful life” are not taught when the brain is a sponge.

something many of us must pick up after we are much older, when learning a new
language is more challenging.

of the
world to be solved by an “Act of God.”
I call this the “Daddy Delusion.”

Modern movies often have the hero triumphing in the end by a last-minute intervention of someone thought
“lost” or “dead.’
Nothing wrong with the above...
...as long as you enjoy it with
popcorn.

I happen to believe the greatest sight this planet has to
offer is the smile from another human being… because they are sincerely happy
to see you.

One of these naysayers will look familiar, and will constantly appear along the journey.
He is the most important naysayer, and you should listen very carefully to what he tells you, because he will be the biggest obstacle to success, growth, or happiness.

This is what I believe –
This is what I believe –
Certain things are supposed to
happen.
Some very bad things.
But there is a ton still left to be decided, most of it
labeled: “How will you respond to these very bad things?”

We are all brought into this world without any rehearsals.

Bit by bit we “learn” our “role” in life.

When you are not on the right path, the road is long, hard,
and lonely. And life feels like an eternity.
But when you’re traveling in the right direction, with the
wind to your back, you can go for miles with nothing but beautiful scenery all
around you.

We all have a side of us that most of the world does not see, but “predators” have a side that is oftentimes indulged, sharpened, and refined. And that side is oftentimes hidden from the rest of the world.

Transcendence
can be about learning from your past mistakes, and emerging from the ashes of
failure to start anew, smarter because of your past failures, dedicated to not
repeating the same mistakes.

“Happy” is a positive, spiritual state of being, an
optimistic outlook on the future where one has an almost daily appreciation for
how wonderful it is to be alive, despite what may come: or go. A person is happy,
despite whatever circumstances they may have encountered in the previous months
or years.

The
goal should never be about money or fame.
Both are transitory
And both will go
away immediately...
... if the goal was achieved by cheating or lies.

Sometimes
what we think we want, or what we think will make us happy, is not accurate at
all. And the only mistake that is unforgivable is to repeat the pursuit of a
goal or dream that we know will not make us happy, or has no promise of ever
making you a better person.

The wrong path is heavily travelled, with many people holding out a welcoming hand. They will tell you that you are just like them… and that what you have been seeking is not really a worthy goal.

Their
goal is to lead you off of the path...
... and away from your dream.

Even if we don’t have superpowers… Under most circumstances,
ordinary, Earth-bound human powers will usually do the trick in solving a
problem.

Each
one of our decisions has an impact… on your life, on mine, those we love, as
well as people you or I have not yet met.

What
Steven Jobs learned was that his greatest creative opportunities occurred when
he was not weighed down with the burdens of his past mistakes.
But at least a little bit of weight is needed when
dealing with… real people. An idea can change the world… but weighs nothing. A
single human being probably can’t change the world by himself… but their weight
stands for something.

Failure
in our lives should bring on… change… so that falling short of success will not
be repeated.
This is one of the factors that contributed to humans rising above
all other species.

We
are all actors initially given a role. Eventually we must discover if the role
we were given is one we want to play… one we can no longer play… or one to
which we aspire and will work hard to play.
The
goal is to discover the authentic you.

“Think differently” shouldn’t be about justifying the
separation of creativity and the creator’s questionable conduct in achieving
his creative success.

Life is too short to not check the box marked “happiness”
every day.

One of the greatest medical breakthroughs in the modern era,
the discovery of the actual virus that was causing AIDS, was essentially achieved
after leading scientists throughout the world began competing to be the first
to the finish line so they would have the glory of coming up with “the answer.”
This is who we are as a species.

The
pursuit of a dream, whether you are successful at achieving it or not, will
always lead to the opportunity to be wiser about who you are, and what you need
to do to evolve to become an even better person.

The Angels do not envy
the pain of the living…
Nor the joy they
experience.
They miss the mystery
of each new day.
And how the soul of
the living must face what lies ahead.
