I am enduring temporary sufferings to fulfill my dearest dreams.

My pillows are dreaming not me.With my eyes closed I only try to feel how they dream.

Dream all that you can possibly dream.Dreams can come true.

Tell yourself that the world is outside that its not to be hidden from you that you are going to thrust yourself forward and be relaxed in the world. You have chosen a field where youre going to be hurt to the blood. But to retreat from the pain is death

Life requires more doing than dreaming of doing to make a dream reality.

Hutaweza kufikia malengo yako kikamilifu bila msaada wa wataalamu Hata kama una kipaji au ujuzi kiasi gani.

And speaking of options these kids the ones who attend elite universities have all been told that theirs are limitless. Once you commit to something though that ceases to be true. A former student sent me an essay he wrote a few years after college called The Paradox of Potential. Yale students he said are like stem cells. They can be anything in the world so they try to delay for as long as possible the moment when they have to become just one thing in particular. Possibility paradoxically becomes limitation.

The person I am and the person I wish to be are not the same. But if the gap between both decreases day-by-day then it is okay.

We keep making decisions every day half without thinking half against our will. If we dont fight back if we allow ourselves to change to be changed then once its done we have to do other things and on and on until the person we wanted to be is so far away in the past that we only remember her longingly as if she were a beloved stranger.

Since words elude me when I need them most I learned long ago that I cannot count on QUALITY time with God when I want to pray. I need QUANTITY and regularity. Quality is not something I can predict. My husband Andy and I might schedule an elaborate evening out with candles and a gourmet meal but there is no guarantee that well have a wonderful time together -- chopping onions peppers die by side in the kitchen reading together on the couch sitting on the front step watching our sons ride bikes and making plans for our life together.
