Rather than denying problems, focus inventively, intentionally on what solutions might look or feel like...Our mind is meant to generate ideas that help us escape circumstantial traps -- if we trust it to do so.

What does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication, determination, concentration and the will to win.

Freya Stark

Christ is not valued at all, unless he is valued above all.

Augustine of Hippo

Fix the problem, not the blame.

Japanese Proverb
