from the Miller dictionary of life

I CAN – validus – I know. I have self-realization that I am able, capable, permitted. When I believe I know – I am capable – I am able – I am permitted –  I CAN.

I WILL – voluntas – I have a desire, I have a choice, and I have the capability and sufficiency. I create a self-aware completion of inevitability. I move from knowing I can to making it probable that I WILL.

I DO – operor – I bring it to pass, I labor, I plan, I create. I prepare for the conclusion. I put things in order to make end to the action. I DO.

I AMsum – Because I know I CAN and I WILL myself to DO, I become the sum of my effort. I am what I think I CAN, once I WILL it as something I DO, I become the SUM of all that is me, I AM.

~ Eric D. Miller – 2014

quoniam ….. Ego validus, Ego voluntas, Ego operor, Ego sum
Because …… I CAN, I WILL , I DO, I AM
