Some Spiritual Quotes
...
-
Life doesn't always introduce you to the people you
want to meet. Sometimes, life puts you in touch with the people you need to meet
to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to gradually strengthen
you into the person you were meant to become.
-
Worrying is using your imagination to create something
you don't want. – Abraham
-
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by
the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain
-
Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps
everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes
the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can
grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden
beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better
things will take their place. – Rumi
-
Count your many blessings. Name them one by
one.
-
You'll end up really disappointed if you think people
will do for you as you do for them. Not everyone has the same heart as
you.
-
You may have thought you were being helpful when you
told other people what to do. You may have tried to steer them in the right
direction. Or you may have been trying to steer them away from harm. Just for
today, don't tell anyone what to do! Share your experiences, your insights, your
understanding, but acknowledge that all paths are not the same. When you are
sharing information about your path, always be sure to leave enough room for the
other person to make up their own mind.
-
In my life; I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've
missed, I've hurt, I've trusted, I've made mistakes, but most of all, I've
learned.
-
Simple common courtesy is about awareness and common
sense - looking outside yourself to see when someone else needs help or
acknowledgement. Give courtesy freely without expecting anything in return.
People may not even take notice; much less return the kindness... but you can
take heart in the fact that you are creating the kind of world you want to live
in with your actions.
When you are out in the world, remember to be aware of
others, lend your hand when one is needed, and give this help without an
ulterior motive. Through these small actions, you make this world a better place
in which to live.
-
Remember to celebrate the blessings surrounding you
and how far you’ve come, rather than focusing on what’s still left to be
done.
-
You shouldn't ever have to change who you are for the
sake of pleasing someone else. You don't owe comfort or conformity or being
attractive to anyone. If someone has an issue with who you are or the way you
present yourself, that's their problem, not yours. You don't have to internalize
other people's judgement. It isn't easy. In fact, it's probably one of the most
difficult things any of us will try to do. But it's important. You don't live
your life for other people. You need to do what feels right to you. And more
than anything, you need to make your happiness a priority.
