Every person's intelligence is as unique as a fingerprint.
Being a unique person requires strength.You have to put yourself forward in a move that some people might interpret as offensively aggressive.
Into the adventure, you look for some kind of fullfillment of your past that bring the parts of life together.
Only when you are fully engaged can you see the activity that will make your life feel worth living.A life fully lived.

Life Element
What is the Element?
The element is the meeting point between natural aptitude and personal passion.What you find in common among the people you've met in this chapter of life and the vast majority of the people you will meet in the coming pages is that they are doing the thing they love, and in doing it they feel like their most authentic selves.They find that time passes differently and that they are more alive, more centered, and more vibrant than at any other times.
Being in their element takes them beyond the ordinary experiences of enjoyment or happiness.We're not simply talking about laughter, good times, sunsets and parties.When people are in their Element, they connect with something fundamental to their sense of identity, purpose and well-being.Being there provides a sense of self-revelation, of defining who they really are and what they're really meant to be doing with their lives.This is why many of the people in the book describe finding their Element as an epiphany.
How do we find the Element in ourselves and in others? There isn't a rigid formula.
The Element is different for everyone.In fact, that's the point.We aren't limited to one Element, by the way, some people may feel a similar passion for one or more activities and may be equally good at them.Others may have a singular passion and aptitude that fullfills them far more than anything else does.There's no rule about this, but there are so to speak, elements of the element that provide a framework for thinking about this and knowing what to look for and what to do.
The Element has to main features,being in your own tribe.'A great group can be a sounding board, a source of inspiration, support and even love.Find your Element and your tribe.Walking away from the life you're known to find an environment more suited to your growth.'
If you change your mind you can change your life.
We have the capacity to discover the Element at practically any age.
There are two conditions for being in it.The features are aptitude and passion.The conditions are attitude and opportunity.The sequence goes something like this: I get it,I love it, I want it, where is it?

Life quotes
Those who have endured great suffering are generally the ones who evolve into great beings.
Plant your dreams and the miracles will drow.Open your heart and trust the path before you.
Believe in yourself and the magic will happen.Only when we dare to spread our wings and expose our own unique, patterns to the world do we begin to truly live.
We are most alive when we are taking risks, being bold, and visiting the unknown spaces of our lives.
No one discovers their destiny, your destiny will discover you, it will find you, provided you have done the preparation and inner work required to seize the opportunity when it presents itself.
Life is lived in the now, the past is a grave.
Find your cause and then do your work with pride and love.
Do your best and let life do the rest.
Nothing's more important than having the bravery to live your life.
So live the life that you meant to live.
Do not wait for life, do not long for it, be aware always and at every moment, that the miracle is in the here and now.
Walk into a brave new world rich with wonder and new choices.
Living your life in your own way.
It's not about having more money but about finding more meaning.
When one door closes, another always opens and every ending truly is also a new beginning.
True leaders, Mother Teressa, Mahatma Gandhi.
Life is a co-creative process.Do your best.Chase your dreams.Open your heart.Do your internal work.Take lots of action.Get up early and be disciplined.
The heroic life is living the individual adventure.Simple pleasures of life are the most fulfilling.
One way of opening ourselves up to new opportunities is to make conscious efforts to look differently at our ordinary situations.
''There is fountain of youth : it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love.When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.''
While physical age is absolute as a way of measuring the number of years that have passed since you were born, it is purely relative when it comes to health and quality of life.
Certainly, we are all getting older by the clock.But I know plenty of people who are the same age chronologically and generations aparts emotionally and creatively.
