Courage

"Courage doesn’t always roar.

Sometimes courage is the 

quiet voice at the 

end of the day saying,

‘I will try again tomorrow.’"

Overcoming...

it is full also of the overcoming of it.'

Something Beautiful

'In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.'

'In the right light, at the right time, 
everything is extraordinary.'

Making Connections...

'Creativity is just connecting things.

When you ask creative people how they did something,

they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it,

they just saw something.

It seemed obvious to them after a while.

That's because they were able to connect experiences

they've had and synthesize new things.'

~ Steve Jobs ~

Seeing deeply

'When you really gaze at something,

You bring it deeply into you.'

~ John O'Donohue ~
