the bigger the prize.

so painfully myself that I can feel
the pains of others by recalling
my own sufferings.

Edgar Kupfer-Koberwitz


Eventually, you will come to understand that
love heals everything and love is all there is.

Gary Zukav


May our broken hearts fuel us to fix our world.

Stรฅ stilla i smรคrtan
rotad i det som รคr ljus i dig.
Lรฅt svรคrdet gรฅ genom dig.
Kanske det inte alls รคr ett svรคrd.

Du blir en ton.
Du blir den musik du alltid
lรคngtat efter att fรฅ hรถra.
Du visste inte att du var en sรฅng.

The Path is the Goal

The true worth of a man is to be
measured by the objects he pursues.

Marcus Aurelius


Health
Business
Friends
Family
Passions
Relationships


It's a dangerous conception of mental hygiene
to assume that what man needs is equilibrium.
What man actually needs is not a tensionless
state but rather a striving and struggling
for a worthwhile goal.

Viktor Frankl


The price of anything is the amount of life
you exchange for it.

Henry D Thoreau


He who has a why to live
can bear almost any how.

Friedrich Nietzsche


Life isn't about finding yourself or finding
anything. Life is about creating
yourself and creating things.

Bob Dylan


Decide who you will be five years from now and then vizualise what success looks and feel liks for you.

- What do you look like and how are you dressed?
- Who are the people you surround yourself with?
- Where do you live? What does your home look like?
- Are you traveling to some exotic location or in an office at your dream job?
- Where do you go to have fun and who do you enjoy spending your time with?
- In what ways do you give back to your community?
- What do people know you for and how will you be remembered?

Once you have established this vision clearly in your mind's eye, begin writing out an in-depth description of this version of you that you just saw. Write your account in the first person and as though you have already achieved the healthy body and vibrant lifestyle you just envisioned.


Imagination is the beginning of creation.
You imagine what you desire,
you will what you imagine
and at last you create what you will.

George Bernard Shaw


Your legacy is every life you've ever touched.
Maya Angelou


Close your eyes and feel yourself
already having what you want.
This takes you from a state
of wanting to a state of being.

Mastin Kipp


If you will keep being your best,
you will come into a life that is
beyond your expectations.

Aristotle


Victory is reserved for those
who are willing to pay its price.

Sun Tzu


Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is
necessary. If fulfils the same function
as pain in the human body. It calls
attention to an unhealthy state of things.

Winston Churchill


SPECIFIC:
- What, specifically, are you ready to work on achieving?

MEASURABLE:
- What measuring stick will you use to make sure you are staying on track?

ACTIONABLE:
- What steps of action will you be taking on the path to achieving your goals?

RELEVANT:
- What will achieving this goal contribue to the overall vision you created for yourself in step 1?

TIME BOUND:
- Create a window of time to achieve your goal and commit to it.
- Reaffirm to yourself every morning how much time you have left to complete it,
then again before going to sleep.

Dreams are free, but goals have a cost,
which are time, effort, sacrifice and sweat.

Usain Bolt


Your M.O. should be one or two sentences and reflect what it is you are going after and how you are going to achieve it, concisely and with precision.

Recite it daily, anchoring yourself to the pursuit of achieving your goal.

Most people just want to be in the result and not
in the process, and it's in the process where you
realize who deserves to be in the result.


Work to become, not to acquire.
Elbert Hubbard


God sells us all things at the price of labor.
Leonardo da Vinci


It is not what we think or feel that makes us
who we are. It is what we do. Or fail to do.

Jane Austen


1. Write down your dream life.
2. List what changes you need to implement to create this life.
3. Break down each change into bite-sized action steps.
4. Implement the action steps into your daily habits.

- Remind yourself of why you're doing what you're doing every day.
- Visualize how the outcome of your goals is going to make you feel. Look at pictures. Say affirmations. Journal.
- Train your self-discipline. Exercise every day. Stick to a whole-food, plant-based diet.


Great things are done by a series
of small things brought together.

Vincent van Gogh


The path is the goal.
Mahatma Gandhi

What If... ๐Ÿ‘ฝ

I'm glad those people don't love me.

Marc Bekoff


Forgive him, for he believes that the customs
of his tribe are the laws of nature.

George Bernard Shaw


Many people have ideas on how others
should change; few people have ideas
on how they should change.

Leo Tolstoy


Cows scream louder than carrots.

If you want to know where you would have
stood on slavery before the Civil War,

you're not doing it right.

I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals;
I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants.

A. Whitney Brown


The longer I live, the more convinced am I that
this planet is used by other planets
as a lunatic asylum.

George Bernard Shaw


If a group of beings from another planet were to
land on Earth beings who considered themselves
as superior to you as you feel yourself to be
to other animals would you concede them
the rights over you that you assume
over other animals?

George Bernard Shaw


The basis of all animal rights should be
the Golden Rule: we should treat them
as we would wish them to treat us, were
any other species in our dominant position.

Christine Stevens

๐Ÿถ Why Love One But Kill and Eat the Other? ๐Ÿท

We send one species to the butcher and
give our love and kindness to another
apparently for no reason other than
because it's the way things are.

Melanie Joy

Jo Frederiks

Compassion towards animals is so natural to us,
that only through conditioning could we become
callous towards their suffering and death.

Leo Tolstoy



True compassion is not just an emotional
response but a firm commitment
founded on reason.

Dalai Lama


Animals are my friends...
and I don't eat my friends.

George Bernard Shaw


I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog - or a chicken
or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else
to hurt them for me.

Peter Dinklage


The soul is the same in all living creatures,
although the body of each is different.

Hippocrates


In every living being there is the desire for love.
D.H. Lawrence


If you choose to eat animals…
 you love pets, not animals.


A man who lies to himself, and believes his own
lies becomes unable to recognize truth,
either in himself or in anyone else,
and he ends up losing respect
for himself and for others.

When he has no respect for anyone, he can
no longer love, and in order to divert himself,
having no love in him, he yields to impulses,
indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure.
And it all comes from lying -
lying to others and to yourself.

Fyodor Dostoevsky


My heart broke when I pictured my little dog
experiencing even a second of the pain and
fear that factory-farmed animals feel
their entire lives.

Nikki Glaser


The idea that some lives matter less is
the root of all that is wrong in the world.

Paul Farmer

sentient being? The time will come when
humanity will extend its mantle over
everyone who breathes.

Jeremy Bentham


Although I can't stop all cruelty to living
creatures on the planet, I can be kinder
to every living creature in my life.

River Phoenix


Love is life. All,
everything that I understand,
I understand only because I love.

Leo Tolstoy


The animal liberation movement is fighting
what is arguably the most entrenched
and widespread form of exploitation
in human history: speciesism.

Melanie Joy


Selective compassion is a deformity of the mind.
Mohanji


Human beings see oppression vividly
when they are the victims. Otherwise
they victimize blindly and without a thought.

Isaac Bashevis Singer


As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility
to deal with all species with kindness, love and
compassionWhat these animals suffer through
human cruelty is beyond understanding.
Please help to stop this madness.

Richard Gere


If you've ever loved a cat or a dog,
or even a human, I hope you'll extend
your compassion to include all animals.

Mike White
