"We are not Nouns

We are Verbs"

"Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it – that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing – an actor, a writer – I am a person who does things – I write, I act – and I never know what I am going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun."

~Stephen Fry

“I'm no more modern than ancient, no more French than Chinese, and the idea of a native country, that is to say, the imperative to live on one bit of ground marked red or blue on the map and to hate the other bits in green or black, has always seemed to me narrow-minded, blinkered and profoundly stupid. I am a soul brother to everything that lives, to the giraffe and to the crocodile as much as to man.”

~Gustave Flaubert

Go Forth Without Fear - 

Go Forth in Faith - 

Let go all 

that would pull you down and hold you back - 

free yourself to live in courage and Love - 

for the opposite of Love is not Hate - 

the opposite of Love is Fear -

Fear Not!

Dream Big, 

Live With a Purpose,
