One must accept the serenity of the winged life, of ebb and flow, of intermittency.

  Anne Morrow Lindbergh

• New insights fail to get put into practice because they conflict with deeply held internal images of how the world works...images that limit us to familiar ways of thinking and acting.

• I do believe my life has no limits! I want you to feel the same way about your life, no matter what your challenges may be.

Now think about what it would be like to be free of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible?
