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
It's not the events of our lives that shape us,
but our beliefs as to what those events mean.
Tony Robbins
Humans think in stories, and we try to
make sense of the world by telling stories.
Yuval Noah Harari
The stories we tell literally make the world.
If you want to change the world,
you need to change your story.
Michael Margolis
Habits are the way you embody identity.
True behavior change is really identity change.
James Clear
The mind and the body imprint each other.
What we think, we become.
What we become, we think.
Edgar Cayce
A season of loneliness and isolation
is when the caterpillar gets its wings.
Mandy Hale
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
People are always angry at anyone who
chooses individual standards for his life;
because of the extraordinary treatment which
that man grants to himself, they feel degraded,
like ordinary beings.
Nietzsche
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
I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single
intelligent man to the thoughtless approval
of the masses.
Johannes Kepler
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.
You feel lonely not because nobody
is with you but because you are
not with you.
Shams Tabrizi
- 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
We live in a world where funerals are more
important than the deceased, marriage is more
important than love, looks are more important
than the soul. We live in a packaging
culture that despise content.
Sir Anthony Hopkins
Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead
where there is no path and leave a trail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
Du ska tacka dina gudar,
om de tvingar dig att gÄ
dÀr du inga fotspÄr
har att lita pÄ.
Du ska tacka dina gudar,
om de gör all skam till din.
Du fÄr söka tillflykt
lite lÀngre in.
Det som hela vÀrlden dömer
reder sig ibland rÀtt vÀl.
FÄgelfri var mÄngen,
vann sin egen sjÀl.
Den som tvingas ut i vildskog
ser med nyfödd syn pÄ allt,
och han smakar tacksam
livets bröd och salt.
Du ska tacka dina gudar,
nÀr de bryter bort ditt skal.
Verklighet och kÀrna
blir ditt enda val.
Karin Boye
