You don’t have to do a lot every day, but you have to do something.
Something. Every day.

Callie Oettinger

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them—work, family, health, friends and spirit … and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls—family, health, friends and spirit—are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.

Brian Dyson

When someone tells you something is wrong, they’re almost always right. When someone tells you how to fix it, they’re almost always wrong.

Ainsi, souviens-toi que le temps le plus opportun est le seul, immédiat, et il est le plus important parce que c’est seulement à ce moment que nous sommes les maîtres de nous-mêmes ; et l’homme le plus nécessaire est celui avec qui l’on se rencontre à ce moment, et l’œuvre la plus importante, c’est de lui faire du bien.

Léon Tolstoï – Trois Questions

Marshall Goldsmith

Sit alone in a room and let your thoughts go wherever they will. Do this for one minute. . . . Work up to ten minutes a day of this mindless mental wandering. Then start paying attention to your thoughts to see if a word or goal materializes. If it doesn’t, extend the exercise to eleven minutes, then twelve, then thirteen . . . until you find the length of time you need to ensure that something interesting will come to mind. The Gaelic phrase for this state of mind is “quietness without loneliness”. 

Twyla Tharp

Kala dit que la conception d’un temps cyclique… que tout ce que les hommes font pour qu’il soit cyclique… avec nos anniversaires, nos commémorations, nos horloges rondes, nos jours qui reviennent, nos années… Tout ça n’est qu’un effort prodigieux pour… pour ne pas laisser le temps passer… Pour essayer qu’il ne s’en aille pas…

What is life but what a man is thinking of all day?

Ralph Waldo Emerson
