    Ruth Ozeki
    “Am I crazy?" she asked. "I feel like I am sometimes."

    Pema Chödrön
    “In meditation we discover our inherent restlessness. Sometimes we get up and leave. Sometimes we sit there but our bodies wiggle and squirm and our minds go far away. This can be so uncomfortable that we feel’s it’s impossible to stay. Yet this feeling can teach us not just about ourselves but what it is to be human…we really don’t want to stay with the nakedness of our present experience. It goes against the grain to stay present. These are the times when only gentleness and a sense of humor can give us the strength to settle down…so whenever we wander off, we gently encourage ourselves to “stay” and settle down. Are we experiencing restlessness? Stay! Are fear and loathing out of control? Stay! Aching knees and throbbing back? Stay! What’s for lunch? Stay! I can’t stand this another minute! Stay!”

    “If you think you are beaten, you are
    If you think you dare not, you don't,
    If you like to win, but you think you can't
    It is almost certain you won't.

    If you think you'll lose, you're lost
    For out of the world we find,
    Success begins with a fellow's will
    It's all in the state of mind.

    If you think you are outclassed, you are
    You've got to think high to rise,
    You've got to be sure of yourself before
    You can ever win a prize.

    Life's battles don't always go
    To the stronger or faster man,
    But soon or late the man who wins
    Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!”
