Be Patient
With experience we realize the importance of patience. Too many decisions are reflex actions. Take the time to ponder. Put things in perspective. Allow situations to develop. Sense the patterns of things. Wait until the moment is right. Then be decisive.
"Can you remain unmoving until the right action arises by itself?"
~ Tao Te Ching

Enjoy the Trip
No matter how far you travel or how long the trip --- across the city, across the country, across the world or through your life --- the journey matters more than the destination. Enjoy the journey.
"Each journey starts with the first step."
Chinese Proverb

Take the Path Least Traveled
It takes courage and confidence. It has some risks but it often brings great rewards: the challenge of the new, the thrill of exploration, growth from learning and self-confidence from success.
"We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over."
~ Aneurin Bevan

Look for the Inner Beauty
We all have it. Although some camouflage it very well. And some hide it deep inside. Take the time to search for it. It's always there.
And the reward is worth the effort.
"The most important things in life are not things."
