Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Strength As Such


Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower
We will grieve not, but rather find
Strength in what remains behind.

And They Flew

“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We're afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We will fall!”

“Come to the edge.”
And they came. And he pushed them.

And they flew.

Guillaume Apollinaire

Thought is Action



If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day.

Grateful for You

"Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul."

Often we focus our sense of gratitude outward forgetting what's within. Take some time today to acknowledge what about yourself you're grateful for.
