Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.*
Richard Brault

The imagination awakens the wildness of the heart.**
John O’Donohue

There are those who are waiting for inspiration to come from
someone, somewhere,
But a great place to begin
is to look within:
Notice what’s already there and
listen to the stories of how it got to be there,
Add plenty of imagination,
And, noticing what can be,
Take small steps to move in that direction.

Attention requires cunning passivity.^
