You are as powerful as you allow yourself to be

Thanks to Agent Lila for bring this quote to mind: 

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.'We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Quote from Skyfall

Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. -- Alfred, Lord Tennyson

my song of the evening - Civilian - by WYE OAK

I am nothing without pretend I know my thoughts Can't live with them I am nothing without a man I know my faults But I can hide them I still keep my baby teeth In the bedside table with my jewelry You still sleep in the bed with me, My jewelry, and my baby teeth I don't need another friend When most of them I can barely keep up with I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand, but I still can't kiss my own neck I wanted to give you everything but I still stand in awe of superficial things I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did Civilian Civilian

One of my favorite Hunter S. Thompson quotes

Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish — a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow — to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested... Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll.

Jonathan Ives on where Ideas come from...

Sir Jonathan has been one of my idols for many many years. I cam across this quote today in an interview in London's Independent. (yes I was reading a newspaper) Sir Jonathan ive when asked : When you are cooking up with ideas such as the ipod (rdt - actually invented by another friend of mine tony) Do you try to solve a problem? A- there are different approaches - sometimes things can irritate you so you become aware of a problem, which is a very pragmatic approach and is the least challenging. What is more difficult is when you are intrigued by an opportunity. That, I think, really exercises the skills of a designer. it's not a problem you're aware of, nobody has articulated a need. But you start asking questions, what if we do this, combine it with that, would it be useful? This creates oppprtunties that could replace entire categories of Device (rdt - or idea or business plan). that's a real challange and that's what is exciting!

Happiness

Happiness Now, take one. Happiness. "Happiness" is a word for a feeling. Feelings are rarely understood in the moment. They are quickly forgotten, and almost always mis-remembered. And besides, feelings are totally full of shit. "Feelings are full of shit"? I don't have that here, Doc. But... we'll go again. Right. Okay, we're still rolling. Happiness Now, take two. Happiness. "I don't think life is absurd. "I think we're all here for a huge purpose. "I think we shrink... I think we shrink from the immensity of the purpose we are here for."
