You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be. ››With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us finish the work; we are in. ››Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose. ››Your vision becomes clear when you look inside your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. ››Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. ››There are no coincidences in life. What person that wandered in and out of your life was there for some purpose, even if they caused you harm. Sometimes, it doesn’t make sense the short periods of time we get with people, or the outcomes from their choices. However, if you turn it over to God he promises that you will see the big picture in the hereafter. Nothing is too small to be a mistake. ››People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road does not mean they are lost. ››Imagination is the beginning of creation.

Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe. ››The pitch to which he was aroused was tremendous. All the fighting blood of his breed was up in him and surging through him. This was living, though he did not know it. He was realizing his own meaning in the world; he was doing that for which he was made - killing meat and battling to kill it. He was justifying his existence, than which life can do no greater; for life achieves its summit when it does to the uttermost that which it was equipped to do. ››
