Do not love half lovers

Do not entertain half friends

Do not indulge in works of the half talented

Do not live half a life

and do not die a half death

If you choose silence, then be silent

When you speak, do so until you are finished

Do not silence yourself to say something

And do not speak to be silent

If you accept, then express it bluntly

Do not mask it

If you refuse then be clear about it

for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance

Do not accept half a solution

Do not believe half truths

Do not dream half a dream

Do not fantasize about half hopes

Half a drink will not quench your thirst

Half a meal will not satiate your hunger

Half the way will get you no where

Half an idea will bear you no results

Your other half is not the one you love

It is you in another time yet in the same space

It is you when you are not

Half a life is a life you didn't live,

A word you have not said

A smile you postponed

A love you have not had

A friendship you did not know

To reach and not arrive

Work and not work

Attend only to be absent

What makes you a stranger to them closest to you

and they strangers to you

The half is a mere moment of inability

but you are able for you are not half a being

You are a whole that exists to live a life

not half a life

― Khalil Gibran

Spring is a-nearing and freshly inspired from some time in the desert.... I'm getting back to basics, refreshing the ol' dream machine....

Here are some salient points from Price Pritchett's you-squared booklet:

Act as if your success is for certain.

Focus on ends not means - shoot from the hip. Allow some disorder.

You don’t have to do it all by yourself — rely on unseen forces - open up and let them in.

You can never escape risk - move on an opportunity you’ve been ignoring. Abandon your excuses, reframe the problem, take a completely different chance. The odds change in your favor when you begin to challenge them. 

Trust in the power of pursuit — dreams begin to crystallize into reality when they are pursued. 

Seek failure, demand a willingness to make mistakes. If you’re experiencing no difficulties, problems or pain, you probably have aimed too low. The performance lag means you’re poised for the jump, changing gears.

Get uncomfortable, uneasiness is a predictable psychological reaction when a quantum leap is underway. Let go, jump. Ride the situation, don’t control it. Know where you’re going, continue the pursuit, learn from your mistakes. 

Open your gifts, use them, claim them, they will grow to serve you, teach you more about yourself

Fall in love — quantum leaps won’t happen if you’re living a life with a lukewarm heart. There must be something worth caring about — something remarkable, special and precious enough to light the fire in your heart.

Make your move before you’re ready. Once underway, you’ll discover you know more than you know you know. 

It happens NOW. Everything else that’s needed comes from inside of you. The opportunity, timing, power to perform are in YOU, not the situation. Just do it.
