“There comes a moment in every life when the Universe presents you with an opportunity to rise to your potential. An open door that only requires the heart to walk through, seize it and hang on.

that the test was always about the heart. ...The rest is just practice.”
― Jaime Buckley, Prelude to a Hero

“Life has a complex plan that involves you and me.

Stop fighting against your greatest ally.”

Even the Cooper’s hawk atop a nearby fence post, content with feasting on a woodpecker knew, it was a perfect day.”

“Some people don’t care about the truth—they only care about being right.

Even when the evidence is irrefutable, these same mud-butts will fight tooth and nail to defend their position.

They will claw, accuse, condemn, ignore and outright lie…so long as they do not have to admit, accept or apologize.

All I can say is, I’m sorry. Those people do exist.”
― Jaime Buckley, The Truth About Lies

Even if you can’t see it at first.”
― Jaime Buckley, The Truth About Lies

“There is no limit as to what we can learn. Through study, we can learn from the past. Experience can empower us to handle the present. For those who desire to learn of the future, dreams hold a subtle key.
Not all things we see, as we sleep, should be cast aside as non-consequential rubbish. It is true that the mind can play many tricks…but it can also send you messages meant to be deciphered at a later date.”

“There are times in our lives when we labor so hard, for so long, that it may feel that we have nothing to show for it. That we have failed. We get discouraged, because we don’t achieve what we yearned for or anticipated.

No one can guarantee your success.
What you can do, however, is consistently act—progressing towards your goals, so that your chances of success grows exponentially with each step you take.”
― Jaime Buckley, The Truth About Lies

“It’s human nature to view life from our own reality.
