It is your light that lights the worlds. ” —Rumi Mistakes show us what we need to learn. It takes time. “ What people believe prevails over the truth. ” —Sophocles Never trade respect for attention. Give yourself permission to be happy every day. Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your money, but with you. “ The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. ” —Socrates “ You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ” —Buckminster Fuller “ Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail. ” —Theodore Dreiser “ The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous feeling of the words being there, written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible. ” —Vladimir Nabokov “You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.” —Maya Angelou “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson “ We must turn to ourselves as a creative piece of work – not only in the arts – but in the creation of our lives. ” —Anaïs Nin “ The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose is to give it away. ” —Pablo Picasso “Afoot and lighthearted, I take to the open road.” —Walt Whitman “We sow the seeds of our future hells or happiness by the way we open or close our minds right now.” —Pema Chödrön “It is not the strongest of the species that survive nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” —Charles Darwin “The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off.” —Gloria Steinem “ The enemy of art is the absence of limitations. ” —Orson Welles “ Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. ” —Gandhi “ You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame; how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes? ” —Friedrich Nietzsche “ We’re all broken, that’s how the light gets in. ” —Ernest Hemingway Life is tough but so are you.

The worst use of imagination is anxiety. ” —Deepak Chopra Wildness is a necessity. I am losing precious days. I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men. I must break away and get into the mountains to learn the news. —John Muir Even After All this time, The Sun never says to the Earth, “You owe me.” Look What happens With a love like that, It lights the whole sky. —Hafez “ Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness. ” —Alejandro Jodorowsky “It’s not selfish to do what’s best for you.” —Mark Sutton It’s OK to not be OK all the time. “Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” —Marthe Troly-Curtin Old ways won’t open new doors. No one has it all figured out. Among the worst feelings we experience as humans is not knowing whether to wait or give up. Listen to understand, not just to reply. Become intensely conscious of the present moment. “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” —Mark Twain Your value does not decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. Don’t worry about being perfect; just be honest. “ Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls. ” —Joseph Campbell Live for experiences, not things. Die with memories, not dreams.
