I let the rain soak my bones I let the sun warm my skin I let the birds sweeten the sounds in my ears I let the clouds cool me down I let the wind bring me the smell of freshly cut grass I let my finger splay out I feel my heartache and tears fade away I breathe in and let my heart soar As I don't need them anymore I am free I have wings And I can fly.

The Writers’ Owl

You must do things you think you cannot do.

Elenor Roosevelt

All any of us ever wanted, really, was to know that we counted. That someone else's life would not have as rich without us here.

Jodi Picoult

#quotes #wisdom #jodi picoult #all most of us ever wanted #was to know that we meant something #in the end #when all is said and done #and we each rest peacefully in our graves #to know that what we did in this life meant something #that there was some purpose to it all #recreate yourself #with this in mind #know who you are #find a purpose for yourself #create one if you have to #or if you want to #and build yourself to the the best you #with this purpose in mind

Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he is never dissappointed.

Alexander Pope

#quote #wisdom #alexander pope #expect nothing #and you will never be dissapointed #recreating yourself #self-improvement #expect the minimum #and everything more #will create for you happiness

We need to be alone. We need it. Stop saying we. Peel yourself away from it. Say 'I' for a day. Don't be so afraid of empty space. No, wait; never mind. Be terrified of empty space - the kind that exists between people, between sentences. People talk so much but do you ever go back through a conversation and realize neither of you really said anything? Being alone helps us stop thinking about ourselves obsessively. If we are liked and how much and by whom, because you took the time to know yourself All that's left is to be yourself.

L. Southard

A little too much anger, too often or at the wrong time, can destroy more than you would ever imagine. Above all, mind what you say. Behold how much wood is kindles by how small a fire, and the tongue is a fire. - That's the truth.

Marilynne Robinson - Gilead

#quotes #wisdom #Marilynne Robinson #Gilead #be wary of anger #be watchful of your words #not all things are as resistant to the heat of the flames as you are #some things will burn #and some things will not come back #be kind #show compassion #love yourself #love others #do not burn that which was never meant to catch flame

If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet... maybe we could understand something.

Federico Fellini

To the top I go. The birds sing to me, As I try to climb slow. For it is not heights I'm afraid of, It's the creatures that lurk below.

Shasasam

#quote #wisdom #self-improvement #climbing to the top #growing #I do not fear falling #but rather I fear never standing tall enough to fall

Let hurricanes shake you apart, and let the oceans scatter your essence. Let them weave you back into a beautiful disaster, a startling riot of mistakes and love. Fear not, you can never be lost. For you are a child of the storm and the Earth. You need never be afraid.

Prerana Kumar - For the night when you forget

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that airplanes take off against the wind, not with it.

Henry Ford

#quote #wisdom #Henry Ford #when everything seems to be going wrong #you gain a lot of experience #and from this experience we can learn #and be better #the more you learn #the more experience you have #the higher you will be able to soar

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

Randy Pausch

#quotes #wisdom #experience #self-improvement #self-reflection #if it doesn't work out the first time #learn and be better

Re-create yourselves. And let this be your best creation.

Friedrich Nietzsche - Thus Spoke Zarathustra

I’m going to be happy. I’m going to wake up one day and be okay with who I am. I’m going to like the girl in the mirror and love the thoughts in her head. I’m going to breathe in and out and learn to live life for me. And I’m still going to feel pain and heartbreak, but I won’t let it destroy me. I’m going to overcome my past and my pain and I’m going to be happy.

h.f.p. (I will be happy)

I don’t trust words. I even question actions - but I never doubt patterns.

Unknown (via onlinecounsellingcollege)

#words are just words #they can hold immense meaning #but they can just as easily carry falsehoods #actions are true #but you may never know one's intentions #perhaps all is not as was expected #but patterns #repeated actions #brought forward again and again #these have more meaning #they hold the truth of actions #with additional reliability #every time the action is repeated #the intent become more and more defined

Also characteristic of the rational soul: Affection for its neighbors. Truthfulness. Humility. Not to place anything above itself.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (11.1)

#be rational #do not raise yourself up above them #you may be different from them #perhaps in innumerable ways #but this simply means that their light shines with a different light #do not think to douse their light because they do not know it is there #do not think their light is less because it is neglected #every light started with a spark #with every spark the same #the appearance of the flames is a reflection of what fuels the fire #oftentimes we do not burn the same fuels in our fires #do not expect everyone's light to shine the same
