...we must accept responsibility for a problem before we can solve it. We cannot solve a problem by saying, It's not my problem. We cannot solve a problem by hoping someone else will solve it for us. I can solve a problem only when I say This is MY problem and it's up to me to solve it. -M. Scott Peck

Scott Peck

The journey of spiritual growth is a long one. -M. Scott Peck

Life is difficult. This is a great truth...because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult--once we truly understand and accept it--then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. -M. Scott Peck
