Very inspiring! Just thought I should let you know that the beautiful poem you quoted above was not actually said by Nelson Mandela - it's a very common misattribution. The poem was written by Marianne Williamson in her book, A Return To Love, and to my knowledge has never been quoted by Mandela. (See the bottom of http://skdesigns.com/internet/articles/quotes/williamson/our_deepest_fear/ or http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Marianne_Williamson) Best wishes, Jacob Hi Kenton - great post as usual! Very inspiring!

I have never looked at it this way, but found myself thinking, "yes, wow, right..." as I read. I don't know where your wisdom comes from. You must have some kind of window that opens up and lets the light come shinning in. I guess, as you point out, we all do. But, your window seems to be open wider than most. Kenton,

I'm not sure what makes me think it is accurate, but it sure feels that way. Hope you and Rebecca are well and maybe at some point you'd consider buying your wife a selection of clothing, as the previous article's title implies there seems to be some sort of limitation...;-) Kenton, I really liked the accuracy of this article.

It means you think of yourself less. - Ken Blanchard That really clarified 'humility' for me. I hope it does for others too. *~:) I've been enjoying your articles. Keep up the great work!

It brings back memories - of how I used to be in when I was in grade 4. Anyways, truly a masterpiece!
