The Internal Force

"There are two big forces at work, external and internal.
We have very little control over external forces such as
tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain.
What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond
to those disasters? Over that I have complete control."

*-- Leo Buscaglia


"The minute you settle for less than you deserve,
you get even less than you settled for."

*-- Maureen Dowd


"Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. I am not saying
you can’t change the world, right wrongs, or replace evil with good.
Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you
don’t fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have
difficulty changing it. Moreover, if you don’t fully accept the
situation, you will never really know if the situation should be
changed."

*-- Peter McWilliams {American Author}
