most would have thought, Impossible!”

it is the illusion of knowledge.”

“Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.”
―Satchel Paige
“Love is granting another the space
to be the way they are and the way they are not.”
―Werner Erhard
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass the world
is too full to talk about.”
―Rumi
“If a man loses pace with his companions,
perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music which he hears,
however measured, or far away.”
―Henry David Thoreau
“Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature
nor do the children of man as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run
than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."
―Helen Keller
"Life cannot wait until the sciences may have explained
the universe scientifically.
We cannot put off living until we are ready.
The most salient characteristic of life is its coerciveness:
it is always urgent, ‘here and now’
without any possible postponement.
Life is fired at us point blank."
―Jose Ortega y Gasset
“You ask me what the greatest virtue in life is
and I say it is courage.
Without courage there is no freedom;
without freedom there is no truth;
without truth there is no virtue.
Courage is to the edifice of life what the cornerstone
is to a building.”
―Osho
“Life is a Game.
In order to have a game something has to be more important
than something else.
If what already is, is more important than what isn't,
the game is over.
So, life is a game in which what isn't is more important
than what is. Let the good times roll.”
—Werner Erhard
“For a long time it had seemed to me that life
was about to begin: real life.
But there was always some obstacle in the way,
something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business,
time still to be served, or a debt to be paid.
Then life would begin.
At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.”
—Alfred D. Souza
“There are only three kinds of business in the universe:
mine, yours, and God’s.
Whose business is it if an earthquake happens? God’s business.
Whose business is it if your neighbor down the street
has an ugly lawn? Your neighbor’s business.
Whose business is it if you are angry at your neighbor
down the street because he has an ugly lawn?
Your business.
Life is simple: it is internal.”
―Byron Katie
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,
the chance to draw back.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation),
there is one elementary truth,
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:
that the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one
that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents
and meetings and material assistance,
which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
―W.H. Murray
Embrace Your Only Life
You're here to make a dent as if you were a king,
To shake up the future and see what it brings.
Don't soften your impact, don't pull back the strike,
The universe a-beckons, swing hard as you like.
Life’s not a-waiting, you’re right now on the spot
Life’s firing point blank, whether you’re all set or not.
No putting off life till you’re ready to deal,
The urgent’s right now and each moment is real.
Embracing life now, don't wait or delay,
It’s firing point blank, step into its play.
The universe awaits for your dent to be made,
Step boldly into light, don't hide in the shade.
Security's mostly a story we tell,
A myth that keeps fear at arm's length all too well.
Life is a daring adventure or nil,
So step into courage and into the thrills.
Courage is all, it's the stone at the base,
Without it no freedom, no truth, and no grace.
No virtue can stand if your courage won't hold,
Your life is in crumbles when you don't stay bold.
If you fall out of step with the crowd on the way,
Perhaps that’s your music for you to be swayed.
Dance with that rhythm that lives in your chest,
This is your beat, with this drummer you’re blest.
Embracing life now, don't wait or delay,
It’s firing point blank, step into its play.
The universe awaits for your dent to be made,
Step boldly into light, don't hide in the shade.
Life’s got many games just for you to be psyched,
And with games what is now is not that you’d like.
If what already is were the end of the tale,
Life’s games would be over, nothing more to unveil.
For a long time it seemed real life was just about to begin,
Just past the next hurdle, apply maybe more discipline.
But now you must know your life’s right here to claim:
All these things in your way are your happy life games.
You’re just as gods whether ready or not,
You'd better get good with the power that you've got.
The world that you're shaping responds to your hand,
Take a stand with intention and make something grand.
Until you commit there is time to sit on the mat,
But Providence moves too when you step up to bat.
All manner of help comes when boldness is born,
Begin it right now, don't wait for the morn.
Embracing life now, don't wait or delay,
It’s firing point blank, step into its play.
The universe awaits for your dent to be made,
Step boldly into light, don't hide in the shade.
The greatest of enemies isn't the void,
It's certainty that serves as wisdom’s decoy.
The illusion of knowing shuts down the real search,
Leave room for not-knowing, that's wisdom's own church.
What once seemed impossible filled us with awe,
Yet once it was found, so obvious to all.
The key and the lock and the door were right there,
Once found seemed so easy and so everywhere.
When you fight with what is, you always will lose,
Everytime, that’s for sure, it’s reality’s rules.
The river flows where the river will go,
Accept it and use it, or you’ll have the woes.
Reality's kinder than your thoughts make it out,
So suffering will ensue without any doubt.
Undo those stories, and see what’s left there,
You'll find your new life without any despair.
Love isn't possession, it isn't a chain,
It's space for the other to be in your brain.
The way that they are and the way that they're not,
True love holds the room where you’re never distraught.
Out past the judgments of wrong and of right,
There lies an open field bathed in soft light.
When your soul finds that grass and lies quietly down,
The world is too full for a word or a sound.
Embracing life now, don't wait or delay,
It’s firing point blank, step into its play.
The universe awaits for your dent to be made,
Step boldly into light, don't hide in the shade.
There's my business, then yours and then there's God's in between,
The earthquake's not mine, keep your own garden green.
Stay out of their business and tend to your own,
Life's simple indeed when you stay on your throne.
The selfish, we're told, lack all care for their kin,
Yet true selfishness involves creating win-win.
We’re all more selfish when things can dovetail,
Rah! Rah! Let mutual selfishness prevail!
Patience is simply not waiting around,
It's chasing what's curious wherever it's found.
While something is ripening, wander and roam,
The living of life resides in your honeycomb.
Work like you need nothing, love like you're whole,
Dancing like the world never owned your soul.
Throw off the scoreboard and prance in the streets,
Each moment of living, another lush treat.
Embracing it now, don't wait or delay,
Life’s firing point blank, step into the play.
The universe awaits for your dent to be made,
Step boldly into light, don't hide in the shade.
Embracing it now, don't wait or delay,
Life’s firing point blank, step into the play.
The universe awaits for your dent to be made,
Step boldly into light, don't hide in the shade.
