If you limit yourselves to one way of seeing, one truth, you will limit your power. You will also place limits on the kinds of spells you can cast, as well as their strength.

"Cross my heart, hope to die," he says, grinning shyly. "I promise, too," I say and I smile at him. "I ain't never leaving you, Todd Hewitt, not never again.”
“Set your goals-without goals you cannot measure your progress. But donâ€™t become frustrated because there are no obvious victories. Remind yourself that striving can be more important than arriving.”
“He hit that one like an arrow”
