Once I realize that the tune I__ whistling in my head is the theme that__ driving my heart, I suddenly realize that the most important question I can ask is, __hat are the lyrics?

If truth be told, the easy road is nothing more than an armchair in clever disguise. And if you look around, it seems that there are a whole lot of people in the furniture business.

However far I__e come, it__ probably somewhere less than halfway of where I could be if I simply believed in myself.

If I__ perplexed by the fact that I__ constantly lost, maybe somewhere in my head I__e determined that being lost serves a greater purpose than being found.

I do not walk into the storm unless I have been called into the storm. For the former is arrogance and the latter is obedience.

Surrendering is intentionally laying down the power I possess. And have I considered that the power I lay down is often more powerful than that which I__ laying it down in front of? Therefore, I would be wise to recognize that surrender is less the absence of power and more the presence of fear.

Because I have __hosen_ to see something as impossible, there__ a good chance that it__ not.

I would suggest that the prisons I incessantly create are not designed to lock me in, rather they are designed to lock the world out. And the oddity is that either way, I am a prisoner who has sentenced himself to a prison within which I do not belong.

I cannot be afraid of being afraid. Rather, I need to realize that it is my fear that gives me the energy to wrestle that which I fear into the dirt that is soon to become the road underneath my feet.

Why is it that none of the things I construct ever make me feel safe? The answer lies in the fact that safety can__ be created. It can only be found. And the only thing I've found that__ never been created is God.

Bravery is not found in getting knocked down. Rather, bravery is found is getting back up knowing that you__e going to get knocked down again.

To seek the praise of men as our motivation is to abandon truly great things, for more often than not truly great things elicit the ire of men far more than they garner their praises.

I think that it is infinitely wiser to accept the fact that we__e afraid, for in accepting our fear we are in no way granting it the power to crush us. Rather we are finally empowering ourselves sufficiently so that we can crush it.

Is the goal I__e set been determined by a desire to avoid the goal I should have set?

The only reason I can__ jump in and engage life is that I__e told myself I can__. Yet I can__ helping wondering would happen if I told myself I could?

Apathy is unconditional surrender where we are driven into hiding by unrealistic fear, and firmly held there by the misinformed belief that we are helpless to do anything other than hide. Therefore, apathy survives solely on lies and can be completely abated by truth.

I often ask to what place I am running, for if I am unable to identify that place it is likely that I am running in a circle of the most circular sort.

To fall is not to fail. To fail is to never fall because I never got up in the first place.
