You are the entire ocean in a drop.

can provide the same motivation
without the costs.

I believe that we are all creative beings and
that you were placed here on this earth
to create something of value to the world.
Something that will help others break free,
something that lights you up with passion and
something that is larger than just you.

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and
go to the grave with the song still in them.

don't announce themselves... Usually something
that is going to change your whole life is
a memory before you can stop and
be impressed about it.

It is a sort of splendid torch
which I have got a hold of for the moment and

before handing it on to future generations.

lose yourself in the service of others.

what are you doing for others?

tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.
Albert Einstein
Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued;
it must ensue, and it only does so as the side

the whole community and as long as I live,
it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.

I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
Everything that's happened in your life
up until now has been preparing you
to live your purpose. These have been lessons
and now it's your time to step into your purpose
and make your mark. You are stronger than
your circumstances and what other people say.
There is something within you that is only
yours to give. Give us all you've got.
Mastin Kipp
