weekly quotes and fruitful weekends

my calendar has those weekly inspirational quotes that are supposed to somehow fire up one's passions and ambitions. for this week it says,

when you achieve your dream, pursue another dream. that's how to live a life of adventure.

tell me... has any of you achieved a dream? i mean, like a real accomplishment you can actually feel fulfilled about?

well... i haven't.

and this quote sucks.

'cause it either makes you dream small (also read: easily attainable), or simply trivializes your worthy accomplishment.

anyway... moving on... can't wait for next week's quote.


***

on other (much better) matters... just came from a very meaningful retreat this weekend. and that really fired me up. a million times more than that lousy quote had. so if you bump into me this week, head in the clouds, crazy smile on the face, feet gliding above ground, just wave. and say, hi.

i'll be sure to wave back. :)

Here's a quote for you:
"Success is not a matter of doing something perfectly. It's a matter of doing it until the time comes for it to happen, until God's time is fulfilled." - Sr. Joan Chittister OSB

And yet another one. Same author:"What good is a perfection tha has never known failure?. . . The truth is, one needs he other to exist. People are not born perfect; they become perfect by failing."
