The most important relationship we can all have
is the one you have with yourself, the most
important journey you can take is one of
self-discovery. To know yourself, you must
spend time with yourself, you must not
be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself
is the beginning of all wisdom.
Aristotle
The stories we tell literally make the world.
If you want to change the world,
you need to change your story.
Michael Margolis
Humans think in stories, and we try to
make sense of the world by telling stories.
Yuval Noah Harari
A season of loneliness and isolation
is when the caterpillar gets its wings.
Mandy Hale
If you're lonely when you are alone,
you are in bad company.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is a gift to not fit in. It sets you on a journey
of finding a sanctuary within yourself.
Brianna Wiest
Modern man lives under the illusion that he
knows what he wants, while he actually wants
what he is supposed to want. In order to accept
this it is necessary to realize that to know
what one really wants is not comparatively
easy, as most people think, but one of the most
difficult problems any being has to solve.
It is a task we frantically try to avoid
by accepting ready-made goals as though
they were our own.
Erich Fromm
We pursue external goals
to hit an internal emotional target.
Mastin Kipp
I don't know what your destiny will be,
but one thing I know: the only ones among you
who will be really happy are those
who sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer
The person who follows the crowd will usually go
no further than the crowd. The person who
walks alone is likely to find himself in places
no one has ever seen before.
Albert Einstein
Two roads diverged in a wood and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single
intelligent man to the thoughtless approval
of the masses.
Johannes Kepler
It's not the events of our lives that shape us,
but our beliefs as to what those events mean.
Tony Robbins
1. Write down and practice your values.
2. Build a practice of contemplation.
3. Read. Expose yourself to people who had deeper thoughts than you.
- Leave room for the unexpected.
- Find your unique way to contribute to someone's life.
- Set interesting goals and challenge yourself. Never stop learning.
- Slow down to appreciate what you already have.
- Fill your free time with meaningful hobbies.
Do not spoil what you have
by desiring what you have not;
remember that what you now have
was once among the things you only hoped for.
Epicurus
One has to choose between living one's own life,
fully, entirely, completely - or dragging out
some false, shallow, degrading existence that
the world in its hypocrisy demands.
Oscar Wilde
Life isn't about finding yourself or finding
anything. Life is about creating yourself
and creating things.
Bob Dylan
Du ska tacka dina gudar,
om de tvingar dig att gå
där du inga fotspår
har att lita på.
Du ska tacka dina gudar,
om de gör all skam till din.
Du får söka tillflykt
lite längre in.
Det som hela världen dömer
reder sig ibland rätt väl.
Fågelfri var mången,
vann sin egen själ.
Den som tvingas ut i vildskog
ser med nyfödd syn på allt,
och han smakar tacksam
livets bröd och salt.
Du ska tacka dina gudar,
när de bryter bort ditt skal.
Verklighet och kärna
blir ditt enda val.
Karin Boye
