not so much to change the world
as yourself.'

Tragedy - a source of strength
'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.'
No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.”
― Dalai Lama XIV

Perfect
When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.

Steve Jobs's Legacy: Design Your Own Life
While there are many things worth celebrating of Steve Jobs's life, the greatest gift Steve gave us is a way to design our own lives.
Steve Jobs was known for being a design god who sweated experience, and pixels and, well, everything. "Design," he once said, "is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But, of course, if you dig deeper, it's how it really works. You have to grok what it is all about."
In our society, thinking for ourselves is not highly valued. Our education model was designed with the 19th century more than the 21st century in mind. It reinforces fitting in and suppresses much of the natural creativity we start with. That's how we go from drawing and acting and make-believe to PowerPoint. If we allow creativity at all, it is limited to arts and sports. "Real work" has us looking like a Dilbert character. Between the pressures of our teachers, parents, and ultimately co-workers, we often give up any search for personal meaning as we aim to belong to a tribe. After a while, we may not even believe we have something unique to offer. Rather than figure out what we are each about, far too many of us live within the boxes others define.

Synchrodestiny
“According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous. (quoted by Carol Lynn Pearson in Consider the Butterfly)”

Magic Within
You have the power within you to make your world, your environment, just what you want it to be. If obstacles are in the way of attainment, then you are not using the magic power within your mind. You recharge your battery by using positive words and thinking positive thoughts.
Elizabeth Barrett, the poetess, was a cripple. She could not walk. What happened when she fell i love with Robert Browning, the poet ? He was very determined that she should walk. He talked to her in a very positive way, and soon she did walk, from a distance right into arms. And that was the beginning of a beautiful romance. She loved, she believed; two of the greatest forces at work, and the magic came.
(Al Koran)
