The true advances of my life could not be brought about by force, but occur silently, and that I prepare for them while working quietly and with concentration on the things that on a deep level I recognise to be my tasks.*
Rainer Maria Rilke

When we rewrite our narrative of the past, we end up creating a different future. We have more control over that narrative than we give ourselves credit for.**
Seth Godin

Identifying what it is we must do, and simply getting on with it
small step after small step, refires our imagination and fuels our heart;
We find ourselves rewriting our past as what has made it possible
to be where we are now, doing what fills us up, making a difference
for someone, somewhere, a sure path for us to follow.
