What would you do in the last hour of your life? The story of Welles Crowther, whose actions on 9/11 offer a lasting lesson on character, calling and courage…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *SF* The Warm-Up: “Actor and producer Tyler Perry said he realized his potential as an entrepreneur after he figured out that the trials you go through and the blessings you receive in life are the exact same things. The trials you go through are blessings in disguise. It has given me a lot of peace.” ~Tristan Walker The Core: “Time can’t heal what you won’t acknowledge.” ~Rob Hill Sr. “Don’t dig up in doubt what you planted in faith.” ~Elisabeth Elliot “You would be surprised by how much clearer your thoughts become once you stop running the rat race.” ~Orange Book “Deal with yourself as an individual, worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you the same way.” ~Nikki Giovanni “In an office environment, being a great talker is an advantage. In a remote one, being a great writer is a superpower.” ~Kyle Tibbitts “Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.” ~Friedrich von Schiller “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” ~Maya Angelou “Vision is the bottleneck of talent. Most talent is wasted because people do not clearly know what they want. It’s not a lack of effort, but a lack of direction. There are many capable people in the world, but relatively few that focus on what matters.” ~James Clear “I have always been afraid to conform, but more than that, I’m afraid to be pigeonholed. For so long I thought my biggest curse was being a jack of all trades but now I realize it’s about diversity of thought, recognition of another’s capabilities, and stretching them to their greatest achievements.” ~Bob Iger “Be patient with yourself. Be realistic with others. Be fruitful in relationships. Please don’t confuse people being curious about you and what you do, with them actually caring about the person you are or how you feel. The people adding value to your life will be there to connect with what’s real inside you, not just to be attached to the superficial things around you. You can’t force them to support where you’re going, just don’t allow them to distract you while you’re working. Value being a good partner.” ~Rob Hill Sr. Last Set: “We should write because it is human nature to write. Writing claims our world. It makes it directly and specifically our own. We should write because humans are spiritual beings and writing is a powerful form of prayer and meditation, connecting us both to our own insights and to a higher and deeper level of inner guidance. We should write because writing brings clarity and passion to the act of living. Writing is sensual, experiential, grounding. We should write because writing is good for the soul. We should write because writing yields us a body of work, a felt path through the world we live in. We should write, above all, because we are writers, whether we call ourselves that or not.” ~Julia Cameron, The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation Into the Writing Life
