There are times when a man should be content with what he has but
never with what he
is. Your thoughts are the architects of your destiny.
When a man finds no peace within himself, it is useless to seek it
elsewhere. The most important of life's battles is the one we fight daily in
the silent chambers of the soul. One cannot think crooked and walk straight. There is nothing as remarkable as learning how to think better. The soul is covered with the color of its leisure thoughts. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us. Are you fit company for the person you wish to become? Sow a thought, and you reap an act; If you don't learn from your mistakes, there's no sense making them. Look within, for within is the wellspring of virtue,
which will not cease flowing, if you cease not from digging. That
first peak is the best place to pause and look back, to see if you took the
easiest route, to learn the lessons from the first climb. And it is the
best place to examine the terrain ahead, to change your plans and goals, to
take a deep breath and begin climbing again.
