Goals are only ever a guide; a winding, changing path. It's your heart that will really keep you on tack... and nourished along the way.

It's always the mind that needs quietening and the heart that needs listening to.

There's no beauty without difference and diversity. Love unconditionally.

Without appreciation (for yourself, others and life itself) there is no growth

Just like the cast of a great movie and the career of great athletes few success stories are a one man show. Build your team and grow.

Too much time is wasted listening to the noise of the mind - and too little is spent living from the love and power of the heart.

You are not who you think you are. You are not who they want you to be. You are not merely your colour, class, gender - and so on - these are quite narrow things. You are not the ideas you are given and gather. You are not what you own or lay claim to. You are not even your life story - for that changes through time, perspective, emphasis and many things. You are what resides before, between and beyond all these things." - R. Ogunlaru

Friendships - and indeed most relationships - are measured in the closeness of hearts, minds and soul ties... not in the distance of physical miles or even the passing of time.

I've no interest in being thought provoking. Who needs more thoughts. I'd rather go down as one who is thought disposing.

There is no shortage of external inspiration. Open your eyes and look and you'll be dazzled by it. But it's nothing if you fail to see the magic, wonder and potential that resides within.

Life is a series of events and sensations. Everything else is interpretation. Much is lost in transition - and added in assumption / projection

It's not the depth of your intellect that will comfort you or transform your world. Only the richness of your heart and your generosity of spirit can do that

Don't value your self worth by others or external things but by appreciating who you are within. And if you must measure your success do it not by what you have gained personally but what you have contributed to a wider benefit. - Rasheed Ogunlaru

You may possibly become rich by just caring about yourself and what you want to gain from your profession and your life but you cannot possibly enrich the lives of everyone you meet that way.

There is no greater prize than a quiet, peaceful mind.

We're merely one tree with various types, shapes and sizes of leaves that all wave differently in the breeze

Tomorrow's leaders will not lead dictating from the front, nor pushing from the back. They will lead from the centre - from the heart

You can not hope to arrive at harmony in your life while stirring up disturbances in anothers...
