Destiny has been waiting patiently for you to gain clarity about your place in the world. You are under contract to contribute to the world in your own unique way. Until you align yourself with this purpose, you are destined to struggle. To fulfill your sacred contract, you must become what you can become.
The deepest personal defeat suffered by human beings is constituted by the difference between what one was capable of becoming and what one has in fact become.
Ashley Montagu
You are much more capable than you think you are. Cast aside any self-imposed limitations and stand ready to answer destiny’s call.
Instead of looking at life as a narrowing funnel, we can see it ever widening to choose the things we want to do, to take the wisdom we’ve learned and create something.
Liz Carpenter
Remember, FEAR is an acronym for “False Evidence Appearing Real.” Reframe obstacles as opportunities, and everything changes.
To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so.
Sir Walter Scott
Try as you might, you will never come up with an excuse that is good enough to justify the squandering of your potential.
You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?
Rumi
On your deathbed, are you going to be grateful that you led a dull, uneventful, predictable life? Or will you wish that you’d had the courage to follow your heart, chase your dreams, and live a life without limits? Choose meaning. Choose purpose. Choose life.
Life is always either a tightrope or a feather bed. Give me the tightrope.
Edith Wharton

i like that – being under contract to contribute in our unique way. And it forces the question: a contract with Whom? This Higher Calling trumps any expectation or standard set by fellow human beings, and even fear itself. It is one’s raison d’être.

Yes, ArrVee, fidelity to our higher calling is accompanied by the courage and the focus required to answer the call.
