Quotes To Spark Thinking


This week we all shared our own personal favorite quotes. Some were motivational, some inspiring, some insightful, and all getting us to think on a higher level. On top of the quote I submitted there are a few more that have highly influenced me like the psoas does on the pelvis. I want to share them with you because over the past 6months I truly believe they have changed the way I think and have made me a better person. I take them from a book I got from my mother called ‘The Gift of Peace’ a collection of thoughts for a peaceful world. I hope you enjoy these and can take them into your personal considerations of how you view life.

-The theatre of life has its own script. Each instant is unique. Live each moment as if it were the most important of all. You will enjoy and feel peace.

-Leave worries aside and you will be surprised by the beauty of the sky, the color of flowers, of the freshness of the breeze and the generosity of the sun. You will feel you are part of creation, and life will start to make sense. The greatest wealth is to appreciate what we have and what we are.

-All individuals are also different and have their own role. Think about what we have in common and you will appreciate every human being.

-With your mind think what you have to learn from others, with your eyes look into the good qualities of others, with your words recognize, value and appreciate their accomplishments and with your actions cooperate and do something for others.

-If you think you can do something alone, either because you don’t trust others to do it or because you feel you are the most qualified…. You will always be busy doing everything, you will be unhappy with others because they are not doing what you want and you will be dissatisfied. It is more effective to invest your time in training and developing others. There is greater success in cooperation.

-When you make a mistake, learn from it and resolve not to repeat it and then forget about it. You will feel better again. Do the same with others, Instead of making their mistakes bigger, dissolve them in your mind and help them to also forget about them.
A sensible person does not criticize the mistakes of others. Instead, he learns from them for the future.
