"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."
I take great joy in the journey that is life, the wonders that are there for the taking. They are the small things, a walk in the rain, a beautiful snow covered mountain, any sight or touch you can find enjoyment in. A true love is perhaps the most wondrous of things; to know that a person in this world has your back, no matter what comes.
Without doubt having another person in your life makes things easier, but if you don’t then you must reach down inside yourself, find the strength that is there and make life happen for you. They say there is a person in this old world for everyone, and at times you will doubt that, but take heart, in time all things are possible.
I have had friends that came to me and told me of their loneliness, but in time they found the one that was their destiny. The amazing thing is, it didn’t take very long for it to happen.
So keep your focus on your idea and keep plugging away at it, love and friendship will take care of themselves.

Without change, something sleeps inside us
"Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken."
Have you ever done something that just didn’t work out, no matter how hard you try? Sometimes it is really hard to give up on an idea, one that has torn your heart out, it happens in all things.
Did you give 110%, only you know if you have given all you have, or not. We all have a little voice inside of us; call it conscious or what ever name you have given it. This little voice always tells the truth, the key is to listen to it, even if you don’t like what it is telling you.

the present comes as no surprise
"For a person who lives 100 years in the future, the present comes as no surprise."
Have you ever notice, when the new gadget comes on the market, your first thought is good idea. Your not surprised, if anything, jealousy might be the emotion that you feel, not a bad kind of jealousy but the, aw shit I wish I would have thought of that, kind of envy.
When those great new items surface, the one that awes the public, we as inventors are not surprised, maybe because, we think in tomorrow.
When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, I will bet that there were a few people around that just were not surprised. Those of us that realize, that by nature, mankind is an inventive soul; we find solutions, no matter what the problem.
If your one of those that is surprised by all that happens around you then start using your imagination, you will find that you can have new ideas that are your very own. This will set you one a path to fulfillment.

"He who angers you conquers you."
"He who angers you conquers you."
There will be times in your life that someone will anger you, it might be when you present your wonderful idea to a person you are trying to get to invest in you, and they can’t see what you see. If you get angry and let it overwhelm you, then you will lose.
We all have times in our lives when we lose our tempers, and there are some that can’t control their temper no matter what. People that fail to control their temper will find they have no friends, others will avoid them.
I have always found that I can do so much more but maintaining my self control, and as I have gotten older it becomes much easier.
So if your one of those that can’t/won’t control your temper, be prepared for the trouble that are destined to follow you, till you do change.

I look to the future
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
So where will you be in 5 years, 10 years, will you be the success you see in your mind right now, or will you be stuck in the same place you are right now. Only you can determine where you will be and how you will get there.
It is so easy to procrastinate, or worse yet just give up. Why, because it is too hard and you are quitting, that is the easy path. I would hope you have the guts to stick it out, and if you should fail it will not be because you quit.
Failing makes you feel terrible, but if you can learn a lesson from it, one that is so deeply engraved into your soul that you never repeat the mistakes that contributed to it.
Just remember, you are in control of your destiny, no one else.

"True friends stab you in the front."
"True friends stab you in the front."
Friends what would we do without them, and some times we wonder what we will do with them. I have stated before, the worse person to discuss your idea with will be friends and family. They don’t understand what you are doing and will never have your passion for your project, and the passion is your driving force,
But the one thing I can say about them is, they will be there when times get hard and I promise times will get hard, and sometimes it is good to have someone to lean on and know that they will be there for you, no matter what.
They will want you to succeed, but they can’t understand that it takes time; no great idea has been accomplished over night. But the true friend will stand by you till it is done, they may complain and complain some more, but if you have chosen well, they will still give as much as they can. Just remember what they have given you is no less than you owe them, when that final goal is reached.

Those who dance are thought mad by those who do not hear the music.
Take a step back and look at yourself, if you have the courage to examine yourself, perhaps you can find the faults that have ruled your life, and if we should find those faults then perhaps we can fix ourselves.
The most dangerous word we use is a simple one, “IF” how many times have you used it, IF I ONLY. It is an excuse, nothing more. Reaching deep inside ourselves is one of the hardest things to do, but when we overcome it, success is right around the corner. But it requires you be totally honest, with you. It is so easy to lie to ourselves; it becomes second nature we don’t even realize we are doing it. If you should question yourself, find a true friend, one that you trust, and ask them point blank to tell you what your weakness are. If they are a true friend, and they know you will not get upset with them, they will tell you the truth. And don’t be surprised if the truth hurts, and if you doubt it ask several more friends, and compare the results, if you get enough truth you can find out what you need to know.
The truth is out there, so it is up to you to find it.
