Remember! You can't see the Gift
in what you resist.
Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and
imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.—Sir Cecil Beaton
All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and
frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right-about-face that turns us from failure toward success.
—Dorothea Brande
The soul can be
experienced by releasing the familiar and safe, by the constant renewal and expression of our presence in the world, and by the moment-to-moment attention we give to daily life.
