Manuals, medical journals, briefs, complaints, poems, random lists, technical manuals...I'm unstopable. 2) I can sleep ANYWHERE.Floor, grass, cement, wood, outside, inside, cold, heat, inverted...uncanny : ) I’m really good at Admitting my mistakes?

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech "You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self... Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose." - Jo Courdet "Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius." - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart "A person needs new experiences to grow, without them something sleeps inside us, and never awakens." - Unknown "To live without risk is to risk not living." - Pope Pius XII "No man is free who is not master of himself." - Epictetus "I never came upon any of my discoveries through the process of rational thinking." - Albert Einstein "Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love." - Lao-Tzu "People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and they pass themselves without wondering." - St. Augustine "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside, awakens." - Carl Jung "It is good to have an end to journey towards, but it is the journey that matters in the end." - Ursula K. LeGuin "The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection." - Thomas Paine "A Native American Elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, "the one I feed the most." - George Bernard Shaw "The unexamined life is not worth living." - Plato or Socrates "Absence of love from our lives... tis truly a living death with no meaning at all." - Deborah Lowrey "The only way to define your limits is by going beyond them." - Arthur Clarke "This is the true joy in life--the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy." - George Bernard Shaw "We make our world significant by the courage of our questions, and the depth of our answers." - Carl Sagan "Religions are different roads converging upon the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads as long as we reach the same goa
