Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.

We [people] have a teacher! The teacher is ourselves! We already know everything we need to know - our challenge is to discover that we know it. Turning to gurus, I think, we become guru-dependent, no different from drug-dependent, alcohol-dependent - needing an outside force to control our lives.

Two thousand years ago, five thousand, they didn't have a word for imagination, and faith was the best they could come up with for a pretty solemn bunch of followers.
Richard Bach
Image
No matter how qualified or deserving we are, we will never reach a better life until we can imagine it for ourselves and allow ourselves to have it.
Richard Bach
Image
Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them.
Richard Bach
Image
You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however.
Richard Bach
Image
We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.
Richard Bach
Image
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours if they don't they never were.

Life's battles don't always go to the strongest or fastest sooner or later those who win are those who think they can.

You teach best that which you need most to learn.
