Amit Ray, Meditation: Insights and Inspirations

“The greatest challenge in life is to be our own person and accept that being different is a blessing and not a curse. A person who knows who they are lives a simple life by eliminating from their orbit anything that does not align with his or her overriding purpose and values. A person must be selective with their time and energy because both elements of life are limited.”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Self-transformation commences with a period of self-questioning. Questions lead to more questions, bewilderment leads to new discoveries, and growing personal awareness leads to transformation in how a person lives. Purposeful modification of the self only commences with revising our mind’s internal functions. Revamped internal functions eventually alter how we view our external environment.”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Good life is not a sprint. It’s an exerting marathon of purpose, passion, patience and perseverance. It’s the road where faith and hard work meet. It is an unusual love adventure between success and failure. It is where truth is a belt and integrity a shield. It is knowing your lane, staying on your lane and running your own race. It’s a road loathed and less traveled by most men.”
Abiodun Fijabi

“Everywhere you go, you shall find dramatic splendor and awe because your majestic soul is part of the vivid whole, and nothing about you is ignoble.”

“As everything stands now, the purpose of life is a life of purpose. Our purpose is to search for purpose as we now know that we are still incapable of producing the answers that we seek, so the best course of action is to enlarge our scale of consciousness while we delve deeper and enrich every aspect of our lives, most especially our relationships with other people.”

Charles Paul Collins
“The ability to earn a productive living,� my mother said, “inspires people with hope and dignity that handouts, though much needed and appreciated, can sometimes destroy.� It is a lesson I have never forgotten. --Cornelius Collins”
Charles Paul Collins, THE REMEMBERING: Of Leather & Stone

“In the grand tapestry of human existence, time stands alone as the most democratic of resources. Each morning, as the sun peeks over the horizon, we all receive the same precious allotment: 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds. No more, no less.
The billionaire in their penthouse and the street vendor below both wake to this same gift. The young student and the elderly sage share this identical treasure. It cannot be hoarded, cannot be saved, cannot be borrowed against future days. Time flows ever forward, spending itself whether we will it or not.
What separates us, then, is not the quantity of time we receive, but the wisdom with which we spend it. Some invest these hours in pursuit of knowledge, letting each minute compound into greater understanding. Others spend lavishly on creation, turning time into art, music, or innovation. Some give their hours generously to others, transforming time into love, care, and connection.
Yet it's easy to become a poor steward of this universal wealth. Minutes slip away on mindless distractions. Hours evaporate in the fog of procrastination. Days can be squandered on pursuits that bring neither joy nor growth. Unlike money, misspent time can never be earned back.
The most profound truth about time is this: its value is determined not by its passage, but by its purpose. A single hour spent in passionate creation may be worth more than a day spent in listless consumption. A few minutes of genuine connection might outweigh weeks of shallow interaction.
The challenge before us is not to control time � for that is impossible � but to be mindful of its passing and intentional in its use. To ask ourselves each morning: "How will I spend the currency of these hours? What will be the return on this investment of moments?”
Michael Marcel, Sr.
