Notes to Self
It's time to be your own drill sergeant. Give yourself some discipline! But don't be cruel to yourself -- simply apply some tough love. Is there a difficult task you've been avoiding, an awkward conversation you've been putting off or a tedious obligation you've been pretending doesn't exist? Well, you have to deal with it -- now. Take a deep breath and dive right in. There's no sense in delaying the inevitable. Get this over with.

I don't die
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep I am a 1,000 winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow I am the sun on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn rain When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled light I am the soft star that shines at night Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there; I did not die.

Words of Comfort
It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal.
The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
It is not a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled.
But it is a calamity not to dream.
It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal,
But it is a disaster to no ideal to capture.
It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars.
But it is a disgrace not to have stars to reach for.
Not failure, but low aim is a sin.
Dr Benjamin Elijah Mays
1894-1984
