The mysteries of life are found within the relationships
we experience through all the opportunities we encounter.
This journey starts with 'Knowing Thyself'
and expands through all levels of our existence.
The ebb and flow is the balance of the choices we make which
shapes who we are and the life we choose to live.
The journey of life shapes thy spirit
and brings forth our unique, creative expression. ~
Deborah Sue Pomeroy Reckmeyer
Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves. ~
Henry David Thoreau
Nosce te ipsum ~ Know Thyself!
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. ~ Gandhi
As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. ~
Henry David Thoreau
The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depend upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. ~
Plato
People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking.
I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. ~ Joseph Campbell, Power of Myth
He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know, except in so far as a certain knowledge must precede every action. The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. ... I certainly do not deny that I still recognize an imperative of knowledge and that through it one can work upon men, but it must be taken up into my life, and that is what I now recognize as the most important thing. ~ Søren Kierkegaard
“To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to do.” ~ Kahlil Gibranl
Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. ~
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Allegory of the Cave ~ Plato
"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked. Each man is questioned by life and can only answer to life by answering for his own life, by being responsible. Irresponsibleness is the essence of human existence." ~ Victor Frankl
Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. ~ Albert Einstein
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. ~
Gandhi
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think. ~
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die. ~ Plato
All our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud, you have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. ~
Plato
Be not simply good; be good for something. ~
Henry David Thoreau
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. ~
Henry David Thoreau
There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth. ~
Leo Tolstoy
