mean thinking choices
nobody means to get carried away in mediocrity, but it happens, it happens unless you think about everything you do, unless you make every choice the best one you know how to make.

The only thing that shatters dreams is compromise.

To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived.
being-strong believe winning
Strong beliefs win strong men, and then make them stronger.
and-love testing adventuring
Testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and LOVE
reality light our-world
I'm absolutely convinced that this is a world of appearances, not reality. There's one reality and that's Light and Love. When some say, we create our own reality, I always demur and say, "Please, would you mind adjusting that a little bit? We create our own appearances." We become master of appearances and as we change our thought, we will see the appearances around us change. That gives us this huge sense of dominion and power and control over our world.
wall winning shining
Win by losing. Before your outer walls break, as break they must, build an inner place to protect your truth. Protect that you are infinite life, choosing its playground; protect that the world you know exists with your consent and for your own good reasons; protect that your purpose and mission is to shine love in your own playful way, in the moments you decide will be most dramatic.

life proud-of-me persons
I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it?
book writing airplane
I'm not a celebrity or near celebrity. Sometimes people will say, "You're famous" and that stops me right there. What does fame mean? Fame is in the eye of the beholder. So, if somebody wants to call me 'famous', that's their business. I'm just me, a guy who messes around with airplanes and writes books that make sense to him.
happiness spiritual wisdom
There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.
believe mirrors people
If you want to meet someone who can fix any situation you don't like, who can bring you happiness in spite of what other people say or believe, look in a mirror, then say this magic word: 'Hello.'
goal purpose ongoing
You can achieve a goal; you never really achieve your purpose, because your purpose is ongoing. It never stops.
book heart love-is
The books remind us that way down deep in our hearts, part of us knows that we are creatures of light and we cannot be touched or destroyed by anything made out of atoms or destroyed at all - that light is indestructible. And we may reflect that and express that in multiple trillions of discrete ways, but nevertheless, that indestructible sense of joyful capacity to express life and express love is always there.
