For Friday, I thought I would post on the lighter side. A little “food for thought” to work on over the weekend! I wanted to share with you some of my favorite quotes about life. Quotes can be the most profound way to see something from a new perspective, and that I think, is part of what personal development is all about.

The people who are attributed to these quotes are people whom I consider to be my examples of how I want to live my life, and so their quotes have more meaning to me than just the words they speak. Enjoy!

True religion is real living; living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness and righteousness. ~Albert Einstein

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change. ~Buddha

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. ~Elbert Hubbard

Follow the three R’s: Respect for self, respect for others and responsibility for all your actions. ~Dali Lama

I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. ~Henry David Thoreau

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves. ~Mahatma Gandhi

The most visible creators I know of are those artists whose medium is life itself. The ones who express the inexpressible without brush, hammer, clay, or guitar. They neither paint nor sculpt. Their medium is their being. Whatever their presence touches has increased life. They see and don’t have to draw. They are the artists of being alive. ~J. Stone

I think sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do in our lives is just to be aware of the moment; Aware of ourselves and of others. I love these quotes because they reflect how I feel about life and what I strive to achieve everyday in my constant “work in progress”.

Happy Friday!
