Beauty In and Out

"When we are aware of the beauty around us, we are aware of the beauty within us."

--The Doctor

When we begin to notice the small things around us, when we take the time to pay attention to the details, we start to become aware of the beauty sewed into the essence of the world around us. We just have to take the time.

And when we realize the beauty around us, we become aware of the beauty within each and every person, including ourselves. Again, the beauty is there, it's just a matter of seeing it.

True Power

"True power is not derived from our wealth nor the expanse of our knowledge, but instead from our principals and beliefs. It is our beliefs and the level to which we support them that gives us power, and this power governs our actions and defines who we are as people."

--The Doctor

True power is considered by many unattainable. But I believe that we all have true power; we all have this ultimate gift from god. The power of our beliefs to resist causes or to support them; to initiate them or to annihilate them. It is this ability to make decisions that gives us true power.

Time Beyond our Eyelids

"Time always seems be just beyond your grasp. Try opening your eyes."

--The Doctor

We never have quite enough time to do all the things we wish to accomplish in a day. It is very important that we find this time; not just try to find, but actually set aside some time to do the things that never seem to get done.

The day is only 24 hours, so we can logically only fit so many things into our daily schedules. Therefore the only way to have more time is to remove the less important activities. We have the time to do the things that we want, it's just a matter of finding the holes in our busy day.

Game of Life

"By playing God's game of life, we must learn to accept its only rule; death."

--The Doctor

It is a feared by many, but death is a natural part of life and we need to learn to accept that. Death is inevitable, but that doesn't mean we have to fear it. Greeting Death with open arms means that we have lived our lives to the fullest and it's time to move on.

That's why many people are not ready to die; they have places to see, people to meet, things to do, etc. People who accept death tend to die much more peacefully. We all will eventually die and be forgotten. It's a sad fact, but one we must face.

Blind Faith

"Blind faith is just as bad as being blind."

--The Doctor

Putting your faith into something that you know little to absolutely nothing about is just as bad as being blind. Blind faith is like crossing the street with your eyes closed; you never know where you are going.

I have noticed that quite a large fraction of misfortunes originate from not knowing where one has invested his trust. We always have a choice to put our faith in things, but we must never do it blindly.

Work For Failure

"A good failure only comes after hard work."

--The Doctor

Although failure is classified by most as "not good", I like to think differently. Failure is the inability to do something, but we must always try our hardest to succeed in that which we failed.

In some cases, something may just be too difficult to accomplish, but we still have to try our best. So, as the saying goes, a good failure is one after hard work.

Future Dreams

"Our dreams of the future are only limited by our ability to imagine its possibilities."

--The Doctor

Possibilities of the future are limited only by our imaginations in the way that we have the power to change the future through our actions, which are derived from our goals and dreams.

So I encourage everyone to dream outside of the box, to set your goals to the boundaries of imagination. The higher we set our dreams, the more future possibilities begin to open up.

The Three E's

"Effectiveness, efficiency, and excellence is the way that truly great people do everything."

--The Doctor

Effectiveness, efficiency, and excellence, what I like to call the Three E's, is the quality of every great scholar's works, but we don't have to be a scholar to at least attempt to achieve these three goals.

These are simple words, but by no means are simple actions. Only after a lifetime of practice can one achieve these three things. As everything else, these three things require dedication, hard work, and the will to just do it.

The Power of Hope

"We must never stop hoping—hope is the power from which we derive our strength to carry out our daily lives."

--The Doctor

Hope is one the basic things we all need to make it through every day life. Hopes are a reflection of our dreams, which also give us strength. It gives light to the possibility of a better future. We must never give up on that possibility.

In this hectic world, it's quite difficult to stay focused and keep hoping for the best, but sometimes, it's the only thing you can do. Even after a long day of traffic, stress, meetings, and noise, it best that we all take a step back, relax, and focus on what our goals and hopes are for the future.

Planning Life

"Planning is of the essence for it governs the future, which is the key for a better life"

--The Doctor

Nearly everything we do has a purpose. Purpose is the reason from which we base our reason to live. Planning not only redefines those things with purpose, but also will help to sort out those things which do not have purpose.

Planning is essential to be self-sufficient in the future. It will help you become more independent and do things more efficiently, effectively, and excellently.
