blame for shortcomings that led to a failed
Christmas Day bombing plot, saying, “The buck
stops with me.”

YOU ARE NEVER TOO SMALL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE @raomal
I am like a surf rider, carried forward on a crest
of a wave. The wave bearing me has scarcely
started its run; those who thought it was already
slackening spoke too soon. I am poised now, in
the precarious, but exhilarating balance, that is
the essence of real living, the antithesis of mere
existence. Behind me roars the reef I have
already passed; beneath me the great wave, as
yet barely flecked with foam, lumps its back still
higher from the sea.
And ahead …?
13
YOU ARE NEVER TOO SMALL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE @raomal
And ahead …?
We cannot tell; we are too far out to see the
unknown land. It is enough to ride the wave

Everything is energy and that’s
all there is to it. Match the
frequency of the reality you
want and you cannot help but
get that reality. It can be no
other way. This is not
philosophy. This is physics.

TINY matters compared to
what lies within us.
