THE RUNAROUND DILEMMA Because we dont know what is really important to us, everything seems important. Because everything seems important, we have to do everything. Other people, unfortunately, see us as doing everything, so they expect us to do everything. Doing everything keeps us so busy, we dont have time to think about what is really important to us.

QUOTE

I know this now. Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, and so they give their lives to the little or nothing

QUOTE

One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it and then its gone. But to surrender who you are and to live without belief is more terrible than dyingeven more terrible than dying young.
