My Own Person

of most of the people you see every day,
is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform.

where you want to go and why you want to get there.
- Kofi Annan

For those who break away from the pack,
the most intoxicating moment comes when they cease
being bodies in other men's command
and find that they control their own time,
when they learn their own voice and authority.
- Theodore H. White

No one can give you better advice than yourself.
- Cicero

When I'm trusting and being myself...
everything in my life reflects this
by falling into place easily, often miraculously.
- Shakti Gawain
