Quotes, Good thoughts to think

Today, too many voices of judgement. Can't keep the information in my head. I am filled to bursting with ideas, and I feel failure because I cannot realize them all, organize them all, manage them all.

I love the artwork on greeting cards. It is art and insight combined, not too much and not too little. It seems like a manageable chunk of information to digest, neatly packaged.

Some quotes I liked today:

Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. – Cadet Maxim

“Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Love as if this is all there is.” – Mary Anne Radmacher

Dreams your dreams with open eyes and make them come true – T. E. Lawrence

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly - Anonymous

“Go for long walks, indulge in hot baths, question your assumptions, be kind to yourself, live for the moment, loosen up, scream, curse the world, count your blessings, just let go, just be.” – Carol Shields

I beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer… - Rainer Maria Rilke

Need to read more Jack Kerouac, Confucious, Mary Anne Radmacher
