Paul Newman had the same drama teacher in college that I did, though in different decades. Simply because we have the capacity for all things does not mean we will make the same use of identical resources, obviously! His contributions to a wide variety of causes were and are magnificent.

I wonder what influences shaped his generous soul?

Capacity Not Potential

A very young participant in our “What One Person Can Do” conversation recently developed a truly spectacular “purpose-in-life” statement. It reminded me that we never know when or where the most important conversation in the world will take place.

Part of the wonderful experience of going to college is reading books that are new to you and having the opportunity to debate their significance and importance to our experience of the present with people whose minds you respect.

Through this course I began “living” the beliefs. I demonstrated them more naturally and comfortably. Instead of having to remind myself, I began innately “becoming” that inspired teacher I always had in me but only called upon at certain times. I changed. I am complete in every area of my life.
