I know where you are heading and why you are passing through here. And I’m glad to see you. Wonderful is the path that lies ahead of you and wonderful you are who stands before it. A couple words while you are here…

Blaming is giving the power over your own life to someone else. It makes you dependent. Blaming someone puts the keys to your own happiness in someone else’s pocket. If you can’t control others, but keep putting the keys to your happiness in other people’s pockets, then you can never be happy. Take back your keys! Put them back in your own pocket!
Matija Matty Biljeskovic
Truth is for earnest seekers, not for those of idle curiosity. It is easy to believe when one sees; there is nothing then to deny. Supersensual truth is deserved and discovered by those who overcome their natural materialistic skepticism.
Lahiri Mahasaya
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, ‘Okay, this is the limit’. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.
Ayrton Senna
Fighting for peace is like shouting for silence; it just creates more of what you don’t want.
Daniel Schmidt
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
