Inspiration

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

Confucius

If you can dream it, you can do it.

Walt Disney
Perseverance… The Will to Get Things Done!

The Philosopher’s Corner

Anything of great value begins with a dream. Once the dream is clear, it takes heart to create this etherial vision into reality.

René Descartes defined life by two extending principals. Res Cogitans and Res Extensia. That which thinks versus that which extends.

Cogito, ergo sum

René Descartes

I Think, Therefore I am. To think is only the first step in the process. In order to extend that thought into material reality, we must then link the construct of thought (ether) to the heart (matter) as a means to create the propensity to move thought into material existence.

Perseverance is an emotion of the heart. It creates a means by which we can move towards a goal, whatever that goal may be. As the wise Confucius states, it is not a matter of speed, but a matter of consistency in action over time. This creates the effect from which success of any form manifests. And as always, I have profound respect for the wisdom Walt shared with us during his lifetime. He is a living example of one man’s capacity to make dreams come true, even if the dream included a Mouse.

Siddhartha: The Psychology of Realizing our Inner Potential

I wrote Siddhartha: The Psychology of Realizing our Inner Potential as a psychoanalysis of the Buddha’s plight to realize his inner potential. It is based upon the novel Siddhartha, written by the Nobel Laureate author Hermann Hesse. In it, I will take you through a storyline about through the 4 seasons of life.

Like Siddhartha, you too will explore the wonder of traveling through the spring of childhood plight, and celebrate the arrival of summer passion common to romantic love’s delight. You will wax and wane through the Fall of middle-age, sit back and reflect upon the the sun’s night-sea’s journey in Winter’s wise-age. I truly hope you enjoy.
