"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a step."
~ Lao-tzu, 6th century bce Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism from Tao Te Ching
Two (very important) questions:
1. What's your "journey of a thousand miles"?
2. Have you taken the first step?
Here's to the journey and to that first step...
(Oh! And, after that first step? The next one…and the next one…and… :))
Inspired by: Lao-tzu
“Brian: First a massive thank you for setting up Zaadz, now Gaia... I'm writing also to thank you for the recent Philospher's Notes. I absolutely love the recent ones by Robin Sharma and now Nietzsche about pushing yourself, and your practical stuff about getting up before the sun, and the other stuff about “it's great to find your dream, your gift to the world, but are you willing to work hard to actually make it happen!?” This is where I am at in my personal life. Very clear on what I'm doing and why, but not really very good at, or not willing to, push myself out of my comfort zone in order to make it happen now. So thank you for these very loving kicks up the butt that I have been receiving in my Inbox every morning! You are giving a great gift to the world. You are a living example of what can be achieved. God Bless You!”
“Brian has done it again! PhilosophersNotes are like a portal.... a stargate... into the minds of mankind’s greatest teachers. PhilosophersNotes have the amazing ability to capture the kernel and core elements of what men and women wrote about on thousands of pages, and transform it into a digestible and modern lesson... instantly! A must read for anyone looking to enhance their life on a mind body level!”
"That is why from the beginning it’s really important that you learn to shift perspectives. That alone is going to help tremendously in your life. Just imagine the next time you get into an argument with your partner or spouse, and you are able to let go of your view and open up to the possibility that there might just be another perspective on the situation — her view, or his view. The moment you do that, it sets you free." ~ Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel
