Starting my own business was kind of a wakeup call in a number of different ways.

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential; these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. ~Confucius
#quotes #confucius #motivation #desire #success

What exists is a godly existence, a divine existence. God not as a person but as a presence certainly exists. But to understand that presence, you have to understand your own inner presence first, because it is from there that you can take off, it is from there that you can have the first glimpse of what godliness is. If you have not known yourself you will never know God. ~Rajneesh
#quotes #rajneesh #god #existence

#quotes #michael-light #thinking

Whatever you choose you will repent because the other will remain and haunt you. If one needs absolute freedom then choiceless awareness is the only thing. ~Rajneesh

#quotes #john-f-kennedy

"Alien" asked ground-breaking questions about eco-politics and female empowerment. "The Matrix" delved deeper into the concept of perception versus reality than perhaps any other film I know. But for some reason, we tend not to remember the significance of their writing. ~Jason Reitman
