W. F. Craig

You can look at yourself as a failure but I look at you as a warrior that has fought many battles. Not literally but figuratively, each battle brought new ideas, ways to overcome, ways to move forward but mostly how to live and appreciate life. You never went down without rising again.

Being a creative soul is like a garden. You have to tend the garden, water it, fertilize it, make sure no weeds take over, and protect it from small animals and help it grow. Keep the garden viable and productive.

It seems that mankind trades mythologies for new mythologies in a continuous manner.

When someone rises to the occasion, the occasion doesn’t ask for credentials, the occasion doesn’t ask for your resume, the occasion doesn’t ask for references. You rise and do what you have to do, you rise and make it happen, you rise and give the situation at hand the absolute best that you have. It’s then you find that you have another gear that you didn’t know you had. That’s when you find your true grit, your true character, you find out who you truly are. It’s the best taste, it’s the best fruition because at that moment, you self actualize.

I’ve come to think that distraction is embedded into life. Turn off the radio, TV, any device because distraction is part of the design. We are the custodians of our own minds. Disconnect to reconnect to your own thoughts. Discover your own creativity again!

Tis the morning, with the sun shining. What else matters? In this busy world of all things society, its demands are foremost. But what matters most at this time is my coffee and my toast! It's a moment for thinking, clear thinking without interruption. Contemplation starts with simple thoughts first, and then deeper thoughts will follow. I know the noise of society, being impatient, is knocking at my door. "Go away, leave me to my quiet time, please don't steal that away from me. For now, I will ignore" At least my placidity is extended for a short while; then the busy day knocks again louder, much louder than before. "Okay, okay, bother me if you must, but allow me to ready myself for the day." I carry my coffee to the ready room to clean up and dress. I brush my teeth, looking into the mirror, and my hair is a mess. I quickly use the comb, for my eventual public view. Lastly, I sit and put on my shoes, then out the door, I begin the day anew : )

It’s estimated that a typical human being has 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. https://lnkd.in/g7Zqvhhp

If there is any quest that we should put ourselves into, it would be whatever the fundamental basic things that make us click as a human being. There's no set point in life when anyone makes that conclusion, it could be early, like seven years old, or later, like 80 years old. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you find it. It's such a sweet energy to find. You can't force it, you have to let it come to you. Furthermore, it often changes in a lifetime and that's ok too. However, you do have to be active in that process : )

Sometimes being wrong feels a lot like being right. Just heard this in a conversation and it stopped me ??
