Every one of us has an essential contribution to make, and we can do so only by taking the risk of being uniquely our own selves.
Carol Pearson
You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep.
Rumi Tweet this Quote!
We live in a scientific age, yet we assume that knowledge of science is the prerogative of only a small number of human beings, isolated and priestlike in their laboratories. This is not true. The materials of science are the materials of life itself. Science is part of the reality of living; it is the way, the how and the why for everything in our experience.
Rachel Carson
The most dangerous risk of all - the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.
Randy Komisar
Flock with others who are truly, madly, and deeply in love with life.
Ian Lawton Tweet this Quote!
Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it’s a feather bed.
Terence McKenna
Life is not what it’s supposed to be. It’s what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
Virginia Satir
You must not let your life run in the ordinary way; do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world. Show that the creative principle works in you.
Paramahansa Yogananda
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.
Buddha
Above all we must realize that each of us makes a difference with our life. Each of us impacts the world around us every single day. We have a choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place – or not to bother.
Jane Goodall
Remember, life is a journey. If you got everything you wanted all at once there'd be no point to living. Enjoy the ride, and in the end you'll see these 'setbacks' as giant leaps forward, only you couldn't see the bigger picture in the moment. Remain calm, all is within reach; all you have to do is show up every day, stay true to your path and you will surely find the treasure you seek.
Jackson Kiddard
Sustainability is an inside job, a learning journey to live lightly, joyfully, peacefully, meaningfully.
Kathia Laszlo
The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The one who walks alone, is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.
Albert Einstein
Instead of wondering where your next vacation is, maybe you ought to set up a life you don't need to escape from.
Seth Godin
To a greater or lesser extent there goes on in every person a struggle between two forces: the longing for privacy and the urge to go places: the introversion, interest directed within oneself toward one's own inner life of vigorous thought and fancy; and extroversion, interest directed outward, toward the external world of people and tangible values.
Vladimir Nabokov
We recognize our own mortality, and we are reminded that in the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame – but rather, how well we have loved, and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better.
Barack Obama
Live your truth. Express your love. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Walk your talk. Dance and sing to your music. Embrace your blessings. Make today worth remembering.
Steve Maraboli
Make voyages. Attempt them. There is nothing else.
Tennessee Williams Tweet this Quote!
Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the sooner we will be able to treat life as art.
Maya Angelou
Conclusions arrived at through reasoning have very little or no influence in altering the course of our lives.
Carlos Casteneda
Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men -- above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.
Albert Einstein
I'm an idealist. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.
Carl Sandburg Tweet this Quote!
Listen to me. We're here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise why even be here?
Steve Jobs Tweet this Quote!
I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.
John O'Donohue Tweet this Quote!
You should live every day like it's your last day because one day you're gonna be right.
Ray Charles Tweet this Quote!
The journey between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life really takes place.
Barbara De Angelis
When your life itself becomes the subject matter of the creative process, a very different experience of life opens to you.
Robert Fritz
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost
Hell is not fire and brimstone, not a place where you are punished for lying or cheating or stealing. Hell is wanting to be something and somewhere different from where you are.
Stephen Levine
There is no right path. Only the one that allows you to sleep soundly and wake up excited.
Jennifer Louden Tweet this Quote!
Surprises are the joy of living. Surprises directly touch the soul. Good surprises energize and bad surprises teach.
Alev Oguz
This human being is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
Rumi
Most of us do not 'sculpt' our lives. We accept what comes our way, then we gripe about it.
Susan Jeffers Tweet this Quote!
Play with life, laugh with life, dance lightly with life, and smile at the riddles of life, knowing that life's only true lessons are writ small in the margin.
Jonathan Lochwood Huie
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the only one who'll decide where you'll go.
Dr. Seuss
The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.
Don Williams, Jr.
The great lesson…is that the sacred in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's back yard.
Abraham Maslow
Here is the test to find whether or not your mission on earth is finished: If you are alive, it isn't.
Richard Bach
The master of the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which; he simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.
Buddha
Sooner or later we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip.
Robert J. Hastings
A pessimist is a person who is seasick during the entire voyage of life.
Zig Ziglar Tweet this Quote!
We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.
Kenji Miyazawa Tweet this Quote!
It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.
Brian Tracy Tweet this Quote!
To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face; to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains; to approach my work with a clean mind; to hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the ultimate purpose toward which I am working; to meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart; to be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours; to approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep and the joy that comes from work well done - this is how I desire to waste wisely my days.
Thomas Dekker
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.
Mark Twain
The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Aleister Crowley
Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to live, make haste to be kind.
Henri-Frederic Amiel
Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.
Sir Cecil Beaton
It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.
Wendell Berry
I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom.
Les Brown
I believe that life is a journey towards God, and that no one has the right to insist that you go a certain road.

William James Tweet this Quote!
Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.
Mae Jemison
It is good to have an end to journey towards, but it is the journey that matters in the end.
Ursula LeGuin Tweet this Quote!
To be born is to start the journey towards death.
Madeleine L'Engle Tweet this Quote!
Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it?
Caroline Myss
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
Mary Anne Radmacher
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
Anthony Robbins
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.
Carl Rogers Tweet this Quote!
Sometimes in your life you will go on a journey. It will be the longest journey you have ever taken. It is the journey to find yourself.
Katherine Sharp
The significant business of your life is alive and well, awaiting discovery, within your very own soul. You and I were born to come into ourselves as complete and distinctive persons. Accepting this, we build a valuable life.
Marsha Sinetar
Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
Mark Twain Tweet this Quote!
Your journey never ends. Life has a way of changing things in incredible ways.
Alexander Volkov Tweet this Quote!
It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in, and new lessons to learn – which is what life is all about.
Oprah Winfrey
What I know for sure is that your life is a multipart series of all your experiences- and each experience is created by your thoughts, intentions, and actions to teach you what you need to know. Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.
Oprah Winfrey
