Quotes by John C. Parkin

The problem for a lot of people is that they dont really know what they want. They have vague desire: to do something creative or to earn more money or to be free, but they cant really pin down what it is precisely that they want. So they drift from one thing to another, enjoying some moments and hating others, but never really finding fulfillment or success. (..)This is why its hard to lead a successful life (whatever that means to you) when you dont know what you want.

The keys to liberation are universal and essentially simple: disengage from all the stories youve been telling yourself about life and who you are or should be as you negotiate your way through, and all at once you know yourself as divine, all-powerful, unstoppable and magnificent, as any divine, all-powerful, unstoppable being would.

Every moment has infinite potential. Every new moment contains for you possibilities that you cant possibly imagine. Every day is a blank page that you could fill with the most beautiful drawings.

To lead a successful life, then, its a good idea to work out what you really want. Then get together some plans. Then set some goals.
