We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
There have been systems of religion where the mother is the prime parent, the source, and she's really a more immediate parent than the father, because one is born from the mother...so that the image of the woman is the image of the world.
Follow your bliss. The heroic life is living the individual adventure.
We can safely say, therefore, that whereas some moralists may find it possible to make a distinction between two spheres and reigns-one of flesh, the other of the spirit, one of time, the other of eternity-where ever love arises such definitions vanish, and a sense of life awakens in which all such oppositions are at one.
You are more than you think you are. There are dimensions of your being and a potential for realization and consciousness that are not included in your concept of yourself. Your life is much deeper and broader than you conceive it to be here. What you are living is but a fractional inkling of what is really within you, what gives you life, breadth, and depth.
Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.
If you are on the right path you will find that invisible hands are helping.
Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life, the idea came to him of what he called "the love of your fate." Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, "This is what I need." It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment-not discouragement-you will find the strength is there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow.
If the path before you is clear, you're probably on someone else's.
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.
There is no greater privilege in life than being yourself.
Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.
We keep thinking of deity as a kind of fact, somewhere; God as a fact. God is simply our own notion of something that is symbolic of transcendence and mystery. The mystery is what’s important.
When we follow our bliss, we are met by a thousand unseen helping hands.
Your adventure has to be coming out of your own interior. If you are ready for it then doors will open where there were no doors before, and where there would not be doors for anyone else. And you must have courage. It's the call to adventure, which means there is no security, no rules.
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
A hero is not a champion of things become, but of things becoming; the dragon to be slain by him is precisely the monster of the status quo.
People forget facts, but they remember stories.
No one in the world was ever you before, with your particular gifts and abilities and possibilities.
You don't ask what a dance means. You enjoy it. You don't ask what the world means. You enjoy it. You don't ask what you mean. You enjoy it.
You have been thinking one way. Now you have to think a different way.
The call to adventure is the point in a person’s life when they are first given notice that everything is going to change, whether they know it or not.
The place to find is within yourself.
The purpose of the journey is compassion. When you have come past the pairs of opposites, you have reached compassion.
