Attitude

11. When the student is ready,
the teacher appears!

12. Most of us are uncomfortable thinking
ourselves as artists … But each of us is an
artist … With every choice, every day, you
are creating a unique work of art …
Respect your creative urges … step out in
faith

13.  When you are doing what you are doing,
who are you being?
 Are you being impatient & bored, or are
you being world famous?
 You are going to act differently if you are
being world famous.

14. There is something I know about you
that you may not even know about
yourself.
You have within you more resources of
energy than have ever been tapped,
more talent than have ever been
exploited,
more strength than has ever been tested,
and more to give than you have ever
given.
If your clock is
unwound, you
can wind it up
again

15.  Meaning is not something you stumble
across, like the answer to a riddle or the
prize in a treasure hunt.
 Meaning is something you build into
your life.
 You build it out of your own past, out of
your affections & loyalties, out of your
experiences of, out of your own talent &
understanding, out of the things & people
you love, out of the values for which you
are willing to sacrifice something.
Meaning!
