    Life   Change   Running  
    Paul Tournier (1957). “The Meaning of Persons”

    "Biography/ Personal Quotes". www.imdb.com.

The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.

    FaceBook post by Paulo Coelho from Mar 27, 2017
  • What do I mean by loving ourselves properly? I mean first of all, desiring to live, accepting life as a very great gift and a great good, not because of what it gives us, but because of what it enables us to give to others.

    Mean   Giving   Firsts  
    Thomas Merton (2005). “No Man is an Island”, p.21, Shambhala Publications
  • Perhaps the highest goodness attainable is a life of service to all mankind. Such an ideal is supported in nearly every page in the Gospels-the parables, the sermons, and the countless acts of service by our Lord Himself. The ideal is not limited to any particular kind of service, nor a given quantity of service. The ideal is accepting life itself as a trust to be used in the welfare of mankind. It is a life that is glad for the chance to be of any help, an attitude that 'service is the rent we pay for our own room on earth.' (Lord Halifax)

  • All pain in life comes from wishing things were different than they are. Conversely, peace and happiness must come from accepting life as it is and breaking through the barriers of illusion to do so... All things that we label good or bad often hold in them surprises if we stay open. Each of us has choice in how we interpret life's events and in this way we are each responsible for our own reality.

  • The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

  • Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.

  • Be happy. Be yourself. If others don't like it, then let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn't about pleasing everybody.

  • Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.

  • The "sayings" of a community, its proverbs, are its characteristic comment upon life; they imply its history, suggest its attitude toward the world and its way of accepting life. Such an idiom makes the finest language any writer can have; and he can never get it with a notebook. He himself must be able to think and feel in that speech - it is a gift from heart to heart.

    Willa Cather (1988). “Not Under Forty”, p.83, U of Nebraska Press
  • God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

  • If you don't change direction, you end up where you are headed.

  • Freedom isn't the right or ability to do whatever you please. Freedom comes from understanding the limits of our own power and the inherent limits set in place by nature. By accepting life's limits and inevitabilities and working with them rather than fighting them, you become truly free.

  • All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

    Anatole France (2016). “The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard”, p.186, Anatole France
