I publicly commit to this, because I feel like it clarifies what to expect with me and how I approach new opportunities.

20. We are all meant to shine, as
children do. We were born to
make manifest the glory of
God that is within us. It's not
just in some of us; it's in
everyone. And as we let our
own light shine, we
unconsciously give other
people permission to do the
same. As we are liberated from
our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson
30. I asked for strength
and God gave me difficulties
to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom
and God gave me problems
to solve.
I asked for prosperity
and God gave me brawn
and brains to work.
I asked for courage
and God gave me dangers
to overcome.
I asked for patience and
God placed me in situations
where I was
forced to wait.
I asked for love
and God gave me troubled
people to help.
I asked for favors
and God gave me
opportunities.

47. My talents match the world’s needs.
We are where we are meant to be. I choose to be content in any situation.
48. Live a good life.
If there are gods and they are
just, then they will not care how
devout you have been, but will
welcome you based on the
virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust,
then you should not want to
worship them.
If there are no gods, then you
will be gone, but will have lived a
noble life that will live on in the
memories of your loved ones.
Marcus Aurelius
57. Love bears all things,
BELIEVES all things,
Corinthians
HOPES all things,
ENDURES all things.
58. John Keats - Addressed to Haydon Great spirits now on earth are sojourning;
He of the cloud, the cataract, the lake,
Who on Helvellyn’s summit, wide awake,
Catches his freshness from Archangel’s wing:
He of the rose, the violet, the spring,
The social smile, the chain for Freedom’s sake:
And lo!- whose stedfastness would never take
A meaner sound than Raphael’s whispering.
And other spirits there are standing apart
Upon the forehead of the age to come;
These, these will give the world another heart,
And other pulses. Hear ye not the hum
Of mighty workings?
Listen awhile ye nations, and be dumb!
Yosemite 2001

belong not to you.
Kahlil Gibran

Peace to You
Relationships are
positive, mutually supportive, healthy,
creative, abundant
93. It is easier to be a "humanitarian" than to
render your own country its proper due;
it is easier to be a "patriot" than to make your
community a better place to live in;
it is easier to be a "civic leader"
than to treat your own family
with loving understanding;
for the smaller the focus of
attention, the harder the task.

120. “Until one is committed, there
is hesitancy, the chance to draw
back. Concerning all acts of
initiative (and creation), there is
one elementary truth, the
ignorance of which kills
countless ideas and splendid
plans: that the moment one
definitely commits oneself, then
Providence moves too. All sorts
of things occur to help one that
would never otherwise have
occurred. A whole stream of
events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner
of unforeseen incidents and
meetings and material
assistance, which no man could
have dreamed would have
come his way.
Whatever you can do, or
dream you can do, begin
it. Boldness has genius,
power, and magic in it.
Begin it now.”
Athens 1999 - W. H. Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition
