“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
– Mahatma Gandhi

This I read recently. Possibly from Desert Fathers. Wish I could remember, it’s a new favorite.
“I had a dream that I was a butterfly, and awoke to discover I was a man.
Now I don’t know if I am a man, or a butterfly dreaming he is a man.”
Seek peace,
Paz
