Quotes
Get it perfected
Small things done consistently in strategic places have major impact. The regular discipline of “getting it together” after having somewhat fallen apart will likely have more power and meaning than any one single enlightening or transformational event.
“Perfect your beingness by going slowly through the routine of your life until you have it mastered. Do the ordinary things that make up your life. Learn to do those things to the point of mastery. You’ll find great satisfaction in them. Conduct your life from a place of quiet, calm loving. Get it perfected so that the routine of your life does not distract you or disturb you and so you can maintain a state of loving in everything you do. Then you can expand the scope of your activity, moving your loving heart out to others in a natural, ordinary way. Then you are just present with people, loving them. Living your life in an ordinary way can be the most tremendous service to your fellow man.”
– John-Roger

Change is not a bolt of lightning
“Change is not a bolt of lightning that arrives with a zap. It is a bridge built brick by brick, every day, with sweat and humility and slips. It is hard work, and slow work, but it can be thrilling to watch it take shape.”
~ Sarah Hepola
step forward into growth
“You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into safety”

Staying in control daily, weekly & yearly
