   Completely releasing the past is the only way to fully appreciate and accept the opportunities before us.
   The cyclone derives its powers from a calm center. So does a person. —Norman Vincent Peale
   We need to seize life in this moment and fully accept that pain, suffering, and unhappiness are self-inflicted, for they are inner responses to external circumstances.
   Through hardship came strength, and as a result of pain I found joy. Through suffering came gratitude, and by letting go I found my path and purpose in life.
   Opportunities are endless when we choose to take risks and become present in our life.
   In life, answers often result only in further inquiry; the meaning we seek is found in the journey itself.
   The cyclone derives its powers from a calm center. So does a person.
   Step away from normalcy and become unpredictable; move from complacency to greatness; transcend mediocrity into excellence.
   Our roads are paved, yet it is our choice to walk, run, or even skip along. It is our own personal road, our own proprietary path. The only thing that truly counts is how we show up and what we experience along the way.
   It is our ability to adapt efficiently and effectively to obstacles as they are presented that determines the extent to which we evolve or the degree to which we suffer.
   We often feel emotionally and physically exhausted after spending extensive time with people who are simply nonbelievers, either in a life of greatness or in the simple commitment to a life of passionate service. These people drain our energy, detract from our life force, and stand in the way of our living our truth.
   We tread through our lives believing that we never have enough, where we are is not where we should be, and who we are is not good enough.
   The meaning of life is simple: it is an understanding; it is our path, it is our quest.
   Without any interference, we will move through life in exactly the direction we are headed, for our destination is a direct function of our current position and the choices we make in every moment.
   What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. —Ralph Waldo Emerson
   Waiting for the future or attempting to relive the past inherently disregards the magnificence of what is available in and around us in every breath and in every passing moment.
