Awaken to Your Destiny

You are not a drop in the ocean;

You are the entire ocean in a drop.

Rumi

The universe experiences itself through you

for a brief moment called life.

Eckhart Tolle

Pursuing self-esteem can be motivating,

but other sources of motivation, such as

goals that are good for the self and others,

can provide the same motivation

without the costs.

Jennifer Crocker & Lora Park

Nothing is more important than empathy

for another being's suffering. We have to

feel for one another if we're going

to survive with dignity.

Audrey Hepburn

Jo Frederiks

I sometimes try to imagine what would have

happened if we'd known the bonobo first

and the chimpanzee only later - or not at all.

The discussion about human evolution might not

revolve as much around violence, warfare and

male dominance, but rather around sexuality,

empathy, caring and cooperation.

Frans de Waal

I believe that we are all creative beings and

that you were placed here on this earth

to create something of value to the world.

Something that will help others break free,

something that lights you up with passion and

something that is larger than just you.

Mastin Kipp

Service to others is the rent you pay

for your room here on earth.

Muhammad Ali

The meaning of life is to find your gift.

The purpose of life is to give it away.

Pablo Picasso

- Live in harmony with nature.

- Pay attention to the small things.

- Don't rely on your curated digital world.

- Supplement, not substitute.

Life's most important and urgent question is:

what are you doing for others?

Martin Luther King, Jr.

If you want to live a happy life,

tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.

Albert Einstein

The really important kind of freedom involves

attention, and awareness, and discipline, and

effort, and being able truly to care about other

people and to sacrifice for them, over and over,

in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.

David Foster Wallace

People are strange: They are constantly

angered by trivial things, but on a major

matter like totally wasting their lives,

they hardly seem to notice.

Charles Bukowski

Everything that's happened in your life

up until now has been preparing you

to live your purpose. These have been lessons

and now it's your time to step into your purpose

and make your mark. You are stronger than

your circumstances and what other people say.

There is something within you that is only

yours to give. Give us all you've got.
