Inspirational Quotes

These two quotes sum up what drives me every day… Find your lodestar, become great.

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson

it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

—Marianne Williamson

From Walt Whitman in a letter to a friend

Well, every man has a religion;
has something in heaven or earth which he
will give up everything else for - something which
absorbs him - which may be regarded by others
as being useless - yet it is his dream, it is his lodestar,
it is his master. That, whatever it is seized
upon me, made me its servant, slave - induced
me to set aside the other ambitions - a
trail of glory in the heavens,
which I followed, followed with a full heart….
When once I am convinced, I never let go…

An old and distant friend sent me this quote recently.  I haven’t be able to verify that it is authentic yet but none-the-less it is a great quote to live by:

Hunter S. Thompson (1938-2005)

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming — WOW — What a Ride!
