A MESSAGE FROM THE EDGE...
Come to the edge, Life said.
They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, Life said.
They came.
It pushed Them...
And They flew."
- Guillaume Apollinaire
1870-1918

=============ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT=============
You may feel like dwelling on your limits or your fears. Don't do it...
A perfect prescription for a squandered, unfulfilled life is
to accommodate self-defeating feelings
while undercutting your finest, most productive ones.
--Marsha Sinetar

Dimension of Entrepreneuring

==========NOTABLE QUOTEZ=========
The mind is the limit.
As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something,
you can do it-as long as you really believe 100 percent.
-Arnold Schwarzenegger
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Once the game is over,
the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
-Italian Proverb
* * * * * * * * * * * *
We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations...
Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential.
They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives.
But creative experiences can be produced regularly, consistently, almost
daily in people's lives.
It requires enormous personal security and openness and a spirit of
adventure.
--Stephen Covey
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671708635/onlinerecoveryli
* * * * * * * * * * * *
If you are serious about your goals, drop the conditions.
Go directly to your goal. Be your goal!
Conditions often disguise strategies for escaping accountability.
Why not just take charge and create the experience you are looking for?
--Eric Allenbaugh

If you think you can do a thing or
think you can't do a thing,
you're right.
--Henry Ford
* * * * * * * * * * * *
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad.
Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times;
but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
--Helen Keller
===========BY THE BOOK==========
FROM: The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
Chapter 1. BILL'S STORY page 10
I simply had to believe in a Spirit of the Universe,
who knew neither time nor limitation.
Chapter 4. WE AGNOSTICS page 47
So we used our own conception, however limited it was.
Chapter 9. THE FAMILY AFTERWARD page 129
He may not see at once that he has barely scratched a limitless lode
which will pay dividends only if he mines it for the rest of his life
and insists on giving away the entire product.
========SOUL FOOD========
FROM: The Essential Rumi, Translations by Coleman Barks
EXCERPT FROM "Birdwings"
...Expecting the worst, you look, and instead,
here's the joyful face you've been wanting to see.
Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes.
If it were always a fist or always stretched open,
you would be paralyzed.
Your deepest presence is in every small contracting
and expanding,
the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated
as birdwings...
--Jelaluddin Balkhi (AKA "Rumi") Moslem/Persian-Afghani Poet &
Philosopher, 1207 - 1273
=============THOTZ FOR THE DAZE============
NO BOX
There is no box
made by God
nor us
but that the sides can be flattened out
and the top blown off
to make a dance floor
on which to celebrate life.
--Kenneth Caraway
=============THE LAST WORD==============
Lumpysingz:
Let's dance! Put on your red shoes and take a chance...
--David Bowie

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
