‘As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. No reality fits an ideology. Life is beyond that. … That is why people are always searching for a meaning to life… Meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning. Life only makes sense when you perceive it as mystery and it makes no sense to the conceptualizing mind.’ - Anthony de Mello. Believe nothing without examination - draw your own conclusions. No one has all the answers, most of us don’t even have the right questions. “Most people do not have a problem with you thinking for yourself, as long as your conclusions are the same as or at least compatible with their beliefs.” - Mokokoma Mokhonoana. Don’t be pressured to live your life in accordance with the beliefs and expectations of others. “One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them.”- Aldous Huxley. Question what you believe. Question why you believe it. Question what others ask you to believe. Question why they want you to believe it. It takes serious work to undo any indoctrination we have received. Indoctrination is dressed up as free will. We need to question our instinctual reactions and our biases. We need to be comfortable with the fact that we will never have all the answers. “...I am afraid that education is conceived more in terms of indoctrination by most school officials than in terms of enlightenment. My own belief is that education must be subversive if it is to be meaningful. By this I mean that it must challenge all the things we take for granted, examine all accepted assumptions, tamper with every sacred cow, and instill a desire to question and doubt. Without this the mere instruction to memorise data is empty. The attempt to enforce conventional mediocrity on the young is criminal.” - Bertrand Russell. #words #of #wisdom #wordsofwisdom #ideaology #meaning #mystery #ideas #conditioning #enlightenment #assumptions #indoctrination #quotes #life #lifequotes #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestagram #books #bookstagram #motivation #inspiration #happiness #book #quotesaboutlife #quotestoliveby https://www.instagram.com/p/CalmLoAv28f/?utm_medium=tumblr

“A grateful mind is a great mind which eventually attracts to itself great things.”– Plato. What you put in to the world is what you get back. A negative attitude towards others returns negative feedback. Be positive, be grateful and you will inspire those around you. “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” - Melody Beattie. We all have goals and dreams we are working towards; don’t look so far forward you forget to appreciate where you are and what you have. “Learn to be thankful for what you already have, while you pursue all that you want.”- Jim Rohn. Good or bad, your current position is where you are. Recognition of this will help you understand who you are and where you want to go. “Reflect upon your present blessings - of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” - Charles Dickens. #gratitude #grateful #gratefulheart #quotes #quote #book #books #bookstagram #quotestagram #life #lifequotes #quotesaboutlife #wordsofwisdom #words #of #wisdom #motivation #inspiration #happiness #success https://www.instagram.com/p/CZi6eIyPQaR/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve.” - Erich Fromm. Sometimes the question is more important than the answer. “Why we are here is an impenetrable question.” - Edward Albee. There is no one answer to the question: Why are we here? “The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing.” – Socrates. The key to life is in the continual asking: Why am I here? “Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing.” – Euripedes. There is no answer. “It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.” – Eugene Ionesco. It’s all about the question. There is great wisdom in the question. Over the years we will ask the same question in different ways. We may find an answer sometimes, but it is not a long-term answer. Life changes, we change. The answer changes but the question remains the same. “The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.” - Joseph Campbell. #words #of #wisdom #wordsofwisdom #book #bookstagram #books #bookrecommendations #booklover #booknerd #bookshelf #booksandbooks #quotes #quotestoliveby #quotestagram #quoteoftheday #quote #quotesaboutlife #lifequotes #life #inspiration #motivation #happiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CY-qqooPGMg/?utm_medium=tumblr
