- Prologue
Life was good. The sun setting on a sweet summer's day. A house across the river on the Jersey side. A beautiful wife and a baby girl. The American Dream come true. Honey, I'm home! But dreams have a nasty habit of going bad when you're not looking. The sun went down with practiced bravado. Twilight crawled across the sky, laden with foreboding. Michelle? Honey, anybody home? I didn't like the way the show started, but they had given me the best seat in the house: front row center.

- Uncomfortable - Intense Craving!
The more uncomfortable you are, the more urgently your mammalian brain scans for something to relieve your misery. When it lights on a cue it associates with relief, it sends your dopamine needle into the red zone of your inner gauge. You experience an intense craving. A candy bar may look so vital to your reward circuitry that your rational brain will temporarily ignore your expanding waistline.

- Battle with the mind - Part 2!!!
Would it be possible to win if you couldn't lose? And the answer is no, it doesn't seem like it. Be both optimistic and vigilant. Battle with the mind. That's the game of life. Beware of the thief on the street that is after your purse but be more aware of the thief in your mind that is after your promise.
Jim Rohn
- Battle with the mind!!!
Battle with the mind. That's the game of life. That little thief that says you are too short, you are too tall, you are too old, you've never done it before, what makes you think that you can do it now, nobody in your family has ever done it. What makes you think that you can do it now? It's called the thief in the mind that steals the dreams, steals the promise, makes you less effective than you should be. Here is what you must do. Battle with the mind.

- They were all Dead!
They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to the things that it led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger and it was all over.

- Cupid's Poisoned Arrow
The other night I decided to surprise my husband. I sent the kids to stay at my mother's for the night. I donned a leather bodice, stiletto heels, and put on a mask. My husband came in from work, grabbed the TV remote and a beer, and said, "Hey Batman, what's for dinner?"

- Man is a Machine.
Man is a machine, but a very peculiar machine. He is a machine which, in right circumstances, and with right treatment, can know that he is a machine, and having fully realized this, he may find the ways to cease to be a machine.
P.D. Ouspensky
- The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution
A passing desire or a vague desire based on dissatisfaction with external conditions will not create a sufficient impulse. The evolution of man depends on his understanding of what he may get and what he must give for it. If man does not want it, or if he does not want it strongly enough, and does not make necessary efforts, he will never develop.

- An Experience of Not-Knowing
My own habitual feeling is that the world is so extremely odd, and everything in it so surprising. Why should there be green grass and liquid water, and why have I got hands and feet?

- 2 Choices in Life!
After enough thought and contemplation I have come to the conclusion that you have two choices in life. You can stay single and be miserable, or get married... and wish you were dead.
Jim Rohn
- Work hard on yourself!
Work harder on yourself than you do on your job. If you work hard on your job you will make a living. If you work hard on yourself you will make a fortune.
