Prologue
Our mind constantly wanders.
Lost in the memory or the dream.
Both are mirages. Back then, out there.
The past is the memory of something unresolved, a lesson learned remembered, success or failure earned, a good or bad story to tell, praise or regret, of something done already.
The future is the dream of resolving the memory, of a new lesson to be learned, success waiting to be earned, a new and better story to tell, inspiration or hesitation, of what you wish to create.
Zen is the Center point.
The calming of the mind’s wanderings backwards or forward.
The still moment of ahhh,
The merging of the past and future
Into the most ideal now moment.

Week Two
Aristotle
Master’s Wisdom
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.
Anybody can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.
Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, determines your destiny.
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.
We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.
The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons.
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
