Those who successfully rise above extreme challenge are those...(who) continue to act from the heart and the gut, accepting that they can and will indeed be powerful, effective vehicles of beneficial change in the world.
~~Kathy Caprino (in her book entitled "Breakdown, Breakthrough")

Hmmm...what powerful words (those in bold)...

Dare to Dream

Following your dreams requires guts and an amazing amount of tenacity, courage, perseverance, and patience.

Dare to Dream

Right now, I am reading a new book entitled "Breakdown, Breakthrough" by Kathy Caprino. It is a good book that I would recommend to all women, particularly professional women who want to live a life of passion and purpose.

In this book, the author quoted the following words from Mahatma Gandhi:-

A No uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a Yes merely uttered to please or, what is worse, to avoid trouble.

Dare to Dream

Courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.
~~Rollo May

Dare to Dream

Thankful...

I just read the news of the Polish President's death...life is so unpredictable...I am reminded of how God had protected me in the past...there were several times when I was nearly knocked down by cars becos I used to have the habit of reading while walking/crossing the road. (Now, I send text messages, etc, while walking...P)
