An Asimov Quote For Your Friday

November 27, 2020 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

“Education is not something you can finish” ~Isaac Asimov

Dr. Asimov’s work had a profound impact on me. I fully embrace everything that this quote entrails. Continued learning is key to a vibrant life.

Our fears lie

October 28, 2019 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

The lie of our fears:

We’d rather face our regrets

Than fail at passion 

It is important to learn the lies our psyche tells us. This holds us back from soi very much. Let’s stand against this together, shall we?

Cling to Hope

May 31, 2018 Carl Setzer1 Comment

Fear is powerful 

Yet only hope can transform 

Cling strongly to that 

It’s hard, at times, to fnd the light in the dark. Seek it out, nurture it. It is there, and will grow stronger.
