Inspiration
This collection of quotations, and the two articles in the left-hand column, speak to me. They reflect facets of who I know myself to be, how I try to approach my life and how I approach my work with others. I offer them with the possibility that one or many may also speak to you. When you are reactive, when you are frightened, when you are angry, you are never in your wisdom. -Paul Selig Bring me all of your dreams / You dreamers / Bring me all of your heart melodies / That I may wrap them / In a blue cloud cloth / Away from the too rough fingers / Of the World - Langston Hughes How we spend our days is how we spend our lives. - Annie Dillard If struggling were the way to get there, we’d all be there by now. - Victoria Castle No mud. No Lotus. - Thich Nhat Hanh There are two ways to live your life. One as though nothing is a miracle. The other as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein Any time not spent on love is wasted. - Tasso A frog in a well cannot be talked to about the sea. - Chuang Tzu There is nothing particularly authentic about acting out of habit. - Unknown The great Western disease is, "I’ll be happy when..." "When I get the money." "When I get the BMW." "When I get this job." ...Well the reality is, you never get to when. The only way to find happiness is to understand that happiness is not out there. It’s in here. And happiness is not next week. It’s now. - Marshall Goldsmith Today is your day, your mountain is waiting, so get on your way. - Dr. Seuss Out beyond right doing and wrong doing there is a field. I'll meet you there. - Rumi You can be right or you can be in relationship. - Sunny Shulkin Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress. - Alfred A. Montapert You're writing the story of your life one moment at a time. - Doc Childre and Howard Martin, The HeartMath Solution There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread. - Mother Therese And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
- Anais Nin The world is holding its breath - waiting for you to take your place. - David Whyte All real daring begins within. - Eudora Welty My heart is set on living. - Edna St. Vincent Milay Not all who wander are lost. - Gandolf. When you are expansive no matter what the weather you are in an open, windy field with friends. - Rumi People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering. - Augustine There is more to life than merely increasing its speed. - Ghandi If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. - The Dalai Lama Hold fast to dreams / for if dreams die / Life is a broken-winged bird / That cannot fly / Hold fast to dreams, / For when dreams go, / Life is a barren field / All covered with snow. - Langston Hughes |
