On Words to Live By…for me, anyway

Today I’m feeling the need for inspiration. I haven’t felt it in a spell, and I am hungry for someone to feed me words of wisdom. But that isn’t happening.

So I’ve decided to spur a non-existent muse by re-quoting some folks much wiser than me. Perhaps they will also motivate you into action...
“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back...a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country."

Anaïs Nin, The Diaries of Anaïs Nin


“I was wise enough to never grow up while fooling most people into believing I had.”
-Margaret Mead

Remember
Filter not the silliness you write
Better to let its vibrant aura breathe
Than extinguish the treasure torch.
And...
...always wear your wander shoes.

“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”
-Joseph Campbell

“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain

Well, I'm feeling better. How about you?

  2. Joseph Campbell is life-changing. I'm inspired to find my Power of Myth for some more inspiration.
