    Akala
    “Open up your chakra
    Because once that’s happened there’s no going back
    Once you start to see what is really happening
    Who the enemy you should be attackin’ is
    So READ, READ, READ!
    Stuck on the block, READ, READ!
    Sittin’ in the box, READ, READ!
    Don’t let them say what you can achieve
    Cos' when people are enslaved
    One of the first things they do is stop them reading
    Cos’ it is well understood that intelligent people will take their freedom
    Cos’ if we knew our power we would understand that we can’t be held down
    If we knew our power, we would not elevate not one of these clowns
    If we knew our power, we wouldn’t get arrogant when we get two pennies
    If we knew our power, we would see what everybody sees, that we’re rich already!”
    Akala

    Julia Donaldson
    “I opened a book and in I strode.
    Now nobody can find me.
    I've left my chair, my house, my road,
    My town and my world behind me.
    I'm wearing the cloak, I've slipped on the ring,
    I've swallowed the magic potion.
    I've fought with a dragon, dined with a king
    And dived in a bottomless ocean.
    I opened a book and made some friends.
    I shared their tears and laughter
    And followed their road with its bumps and bends
    To the happily ever after.
    I finished my book and out I came.
    The cloak can no longer hide me.
    My chair and my house are just the same,
    But I have a book inside me.”
    Julia Donaldson

    Annette Dabrowska
    “All these bad experiences that we go through, they don't just disappear. We carry them our whole life trying to forget, escaping in habits, addictions, hate, toxic relationships. But what we don't know is that by doing so we let them stay alive. We water them like withered flowers and we hang onto them to justify our mistakes and failures.”
    Asper Blurry, Train to the Edge of the Moon

    Jim Loehr
    “As Aristotle said: “We are what we repeatedly do.” Or as the Dalai Lama put it more recently: “There isn’t anything that isn’t made easier through constant familiarity and training. Through training we can change; we can transform ourselves.”
