can cause us to neglect those friends.

we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.

only a fixed quantity of each resource -

inventiveness, and service that they contribute.

I honor you, Hero, for you do not play to the crowd.
You play to your own soul.
An audience of one fills the house with its appreciation and applause.
Others follow you, and may attempt to emulate you,
but that is not why you are a hero.
Fame may smile upon you, or it may not.
The world may cheer your name, or you may be the unknown warrior
who rescued comrades in battle,
or taught a young girl how to shed tears of joy.
Whatever you did, you did not do for fame.
If you had, you would not be a Hero.
You are a Hero for your bold courageous inspired action.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

is now in my life causes an ever greater abundance
to flow in my direction.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

- Neale Donald Walsch
