Part 5 - Some Great Quotes that Will Transform Your Life

Today's article is about "WISDOM".

1. Know thyself.

We are all different. You have to find how you work and what makes you happy. Stop looking at others for answers and find your own. It takes time, but there’s no rush anywhere. Enjoy the process, because that’s what life is about.

2. If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

If you’re unhappy, you can’t expect something or someone outside of yourself to fix it. You are the only one responsible for your life. If you want to change and start living with passion, you are the one that has to act.

3. Only the shallow know themselves.

There is always more you can learn about yourself. Personal development is a never-ending journey. Once you think you know what you’re all about, life will throw a curve ball at you and you’ll discover new, subtle facets.

4. If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.

Do not overanalyze. Err on the side of taking too much action, rather than thinking too much. Most people are thinkers, because it is easy, but few are doers. It’s hard, frustrating and sometimes painful, but it works.

5. Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

You have to beat this point into your head: take action, and do it now! The stars will never align. Circumstances will never be perfect. The sooner you get started, the better off you will be. You will have to make mistakes, because it is the only way.

6. When the solution is simple, God is answering.

The human mind has a funny tendency of trying to make everything complex. It takes effort to keep things simple. The more stuff you can eliminate from your plate, the more you get done. Focus on simplicity.

7. Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast.

Take it easy. Once you’ve rushed enough in your life, you will realize that there is nowhere to go. The need to go fast comes from a feeling of lack. This feeling can only be remedied from where it originates the inside.

8. Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

You may think that being successful or having something will make you happy, but do you really believe  that? Once you have strived enough, you may start questioning what society has taught you. We do need the basics, but no more. If you want to be happy and at peace, look inward.

9. Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?

There is so much war going on in the world. We need to start treating each other with respect. We are the same species. We are brothers and sisters living on the same planet. We are in this together. Everything that separates us from each other should be reconsidered.

10. When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.

This should be the religion of all people on earth. What good is a religion if it separates us? Who cares if your god is better than mine if all it leads to is hatred and war? It’s time to sit down and think about what we’re doing.
