Picture an iceberg. The bulk of its power lies below the surface. The part of the iceberg that sunk the Titanic, for example, was not the 10 percent above the water it was the 90 percent below the surface that did the damage. For human beings, it is also often true that the 90 percent below the surfaceour unconscious beliefs, attitudes and habitssinks our fondest hopes and dreams.
More Quotes from Robert White:
Technology is changing our lives. It cannot and will not change what is fundamental to the human condition. It will never change the way we are, or how we feel. The more technology we create, the more we seem confused, side-tracked with what we are conned into believing will improve our lives in the future. Always the future. Anything to get us off thinking about who we are right now, and how we might make our relationships more rewarding and loving. Too many times, all of that is put on hold.Robert White

Our lives, along with the weather and happiness, will forever be up and down and sideways and all over the place. Thats how life and the weather are, and that is as good as it gets. How do I know that Simple. It is all I've got. If the future does not exist and the past is gone, then this must be as good as it gets, because there is, right now, nothing else. And even if you don't believe the truth of that statement, living each moment as if now is absolutely as good as it gets will have you celebrating your life every day. Its not a bad way to live.

Choosing to live an extraordinary life is simple. This does not, however, mean that it is easy.
