Mastering yourself makes you Fearless
- LAO TZU
It takes so much to be a full human being that there are very few
who have the enlightenment or the courage to pay the price.
One has to abandon altogether the search for security and
reach out to the risk of living with both arms.
One has to embrace the world like a lover.
One has to accept pain as a condition of existence.
One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing.
One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to total
acceptance of every consequence of living and dying.
- Morris West
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

The Path With The Heart
-Don Juan
"Never do anything in secret or anything that you would wish to hide. For the desire to hide anything means that you are afraid, and fear is a bad thing and unworthy of you."
-Jawaharlal Nehru in a letter to his daughter Indira
"Adventure is the abandonment of fear to embrace a new experience."
-Ravi
"Live as if your life will end tomorrow and at the same time live as if your life will never end."
-Ravi (adaption of something that I read)
"For the truth is that I already know as much about my fate as I need to know. The day will come when I will die. So the only matter of consequence before me is what I do with my allotted time. I can remain on shore, paralyzed with fear, or I can raise my sails and dip and soar with the breeze."
-- Richard Bode - First You Have to Row a Little Boat
"Don't be afraid that you might die; be afraid that you might not live."
-- Unknown
"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things."
-- Machiavelli
