Quotes
“The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.”
Richard Leider
“I believe it’s true that the difference between great people and
everyone else is that great people create their lives actively, while
everyone else is created by their lives, passively waiting to see
where life takes them next.
The difference between the two is the difference between living
fully and just existing. The difference between the two is living
intentionally and living by accident.”
Michael E. Gerber, Author
“I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's
as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to
discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in
the form of service, working hard, and also allowing.”
Oprah Winfrey
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off
the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade
winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain, Author
“I want to be completely used up when I die, for the harder I work,
the more I live. I celebrate life for its own sake. Life is no “brief
candle” to me, but rather like a splendid torch which I hold in my
hand at this moment in time, and I want it to burn as brightly as
possible before passing it on to future generations.”
George Bernard Shaw
“ I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one’s
business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female
the moment he has succeeded in courtship. I like a state of
continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.”
George Bernard Shaw
“There are three hungers that people are trying to feed
throughout their lives. The first is to connect deeply with the
creative spirit of life. The second is to know and express your gifts
and talents. The third is to know that our lives matter. Fulfilment
comes from feeding these three hungers.”
Richard Leider
Poems
Patanjali
When you are inspired
by some great purpose,
some extraordinary project,
all your thoughts break
their bonds; your mind
transcends limitations,
your consciousness expands
in every direction, and you
find yourself in a new,
great and wonderful world.
Dormant forces, faculties
and talents become alive
and you discover yourself
to be a greater person by
far than you ever dreamed
yourself to be.
Begin
Brendan Kennelly
Begin again to the carolling birds
to the sight of light at the window,
begin to the roar of morning traffic
all along Pembroke Road.
Every beginning is a promise
born in light and dying in dark
determination and exaltation of springtime
flowering the way to work.
Begin to the pageant of queuing girls
to the arrogant loneliness of swans in the canal
to bridges linking the past and future
to old friends passing though with us still.
Begin to the loneliness that cannot end
since it, perhaps, is what makes us begin,
begin to wonder at unknown faces,
at crying birds in the sudden rain
at branches stark in the willing sunlight
at seagulls foraging for bread
at couples sharing a sunny secret
alone together while making good.
Though we live in a world that dreams of ending
that always seems about to give in,
something, something that will not acknowledge conclusion
insists that we forever begin.
