Feelings
NOT goals or false dreams Resonance producing activitiesFeelings that come at the peak
All people dream; but not equally.
Those who dream by night
in the dusty recesses of their minds
wake in the day to find that it was vanity.
But the dreamers of the day
are dangerous people,
for they may act their dream with open eyes
to make it possible.
--T. E. Lawrence
Not much happens without a dream. And for something great to happen, there must be a great dream. Behind every great achievement is a dreamer of great dreams. Much more than a dreamer is required to bring it to reality; but the dream must be there first.
Robert Greenleaf

Preparation
People ask me, “How do you play so well?” I practiced, intense “shedding.” If you’re willing to put in the time, you can do it to a certain level. Maybe I have a special talent that is intangible, but if you are willing to put in the time, you can really get it together.”

Freedoms and Responsibilities
Freedom is born of self-discipline. No individual, no nation, can achieve or maintain liberty without self-control. The undisciplined man is a slave to his own weaknesses. Alan Valentine

Obstacles
Whether an opportunity for action exists or not,
and whether it is a daunting obstacle or a stimulating challenge,
depends more on the mental preparation of the person confronting it than on objective material conditions.

Revisiting the Dream
When in the beginning of years,
God mixed in man the raptures and the tears,
And scattered thru his brain the starry stuff,
He said, “Behold! Yet this is not enough,
For I must test his spirit to make sure,
that he can dare the vision and endure.
Edwin Markham

RESONANCE
Resonance
…we still had a long way to go. Like ants getting over an enormous obstacle we climbed up without appearing to make any progress. The slope was very steep. . . The air was luminous, and the light was tinged with the most delicate blue. On the other side of the couloir, ridges of bare ice refracted the light like prisms and sparkled with rainbow hues. The weather was still set fine--not a single cloud--and the air was dry. I felt in splendid form and as if, somehow, I had found a perfect balance within myself--was this, I wondered, the essence of happiness.
Maurice Herzog, Annapurna, p. 166
Robert Ballard on Success
“Ballard’s 30-year career as an explorer has taught him to see his work as a circular process -- one that he compares with the stages that define the epicjourney of the archetypal hero: dream, prepare, assemble a team, go forth and lead, overcome obstacles, find truth, share new knowledge. They are, Ballard suggest, the same stages that any businessperson need to traverse in order totake a project from original conception to final realization.”
Fast Company, September, 1998, p. 161.

Amazing grace, how sweet thy sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found.
Was blind but now I see.
