You can read every book and listen to every mentor, yet none of it becomes your experience until your mind has absorbed it and life has tested it

A book does not contain the experience you are looking for. It contains knowledge, patterns, and clues that may help you reach it. The path still has to be walked by you

Reading is a beginning, not a substitute for living. Understanding becomes yours when it changes the way you decide, act, and meet the consequences of your choices
