Some Quotes for Inspiration

 

Go without a coat when it's cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep your existence lean. Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see what it's all about. The only time you define your character is when you go without. In times of hardship, you find out what you're made of and what you're capable of. If you're never tested, you'll never define your character.

- Henry Rollins

(Even though it seems as if I have had enough character building sessions in my own life for 5 people or more, this quote seems to teach me so much & reveal the truth on how struggle can actually define our wisdom and who we really become, more than prosperity can)

~~~~~~

It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.

- Heraclitus

~~~~~~

I restore myself when I'm alone.

- Marilyn Monroe

~~~~~~

It is not the critic who counts; Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; Who strives valiantly; Who errs, and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; But who does actually strive to do the deeds; Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; Who spends himself in a worthy cause; Who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worse, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

- Theodore Roosevelt

~~~~~~

If you go in search of honey, you must expect to encounter bees.

- Thomas Szasz

(I think this one could apply to relationships & careers also, because people seem to look for only the honey, thinking it will always be sweet and perfect, and it never works out that way, in order for us to appreciate the special times I guess :)I really feel the best work I have ever done in life has been when I had huge major struggles of some sort and felt like giving up right when everything suddenly turned around,  life always seems to work that way.

~~~~~~

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.

- E.E. Cummings 

~~~~~~

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
- Charles Darwin

~~~~~~

Health of body and mind is a great blessing, if we can bear it. ~John Henry Cardinal Newman

~~~~~~

Something to think about,... hmm Sickness is the vengeance of nature for the violation of her laws. ~Charles Simmons

~~~~~~

"As much as I wish I could more more more, I am learning to just be happy with what I have done and have & with the present moment" AD :)

~~~~~~

My own prescription for health is less paperwork and more running barefoot through the grass. ~Leslie Grimutter
