[quote]Wisdom is not the amassing of knowledge.  Wisdom is truth lived.  From this day on, begin to foster a belief that you were born for a reason, and although you may not have yet discovered the specifics of that reason, you are being prepared to fulfill it in every moment.  In general terms, you know that your essential purpose is to grow, change, develop, and become the-best-version-of-yourself.  It is this process of growth that makes life interesting, exciting, rewarding, and fulfilling.  Dedication to this process of growth is greatness.  Greatness should never be confused with fame, fortune, status, or power.  These are only passing illusions.  Greatness is to become more fully aware of your self with each passing day.  
 
A chance for greatness awaits you----your chance at greatness----and it will involve unique and providential blend of your needs, talents, and desires.  The pursuit of your chance at greatness will reveal you to your family, friends, colleagues, spouse, children, and everyone who crosses your path.  It is the attuning of your personality.  Life is a revelation of self.  Life is an unfolding story.  Your life is your story.  Life is a gift to you and for you----and yet, in a paradoxical but complimentary way, it is also your chance to serve your neighbor, to touch and enrich the lives of others, and to make a difference in this sometimes weary world.  This is the mystery of God----to lead you toward your perfection and fulfillment, while at the same time using your journey to lead others toward their perfection and fulfillment.  [Kelly, The Rhythm of Life]
 
Wise Quote of the Day:
It is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in surrendering that we are born a new[/quote]
