Top 10 Best Quotes
“The impact we have on others and the world around us is our legacy. For better or for worse, each of us affects our community and the planet we live on, even through the actions of our everyday lives. If we want our impact to be a positive one, we need to remember that what we do matters - but how we do it, the joy we bring to it, and how it aligns with our best selves, also matters.”
“When you apply your abilities to things you care about, you can make a real impact. But first, take stock of what's in your toolkit. Notice what may be missing, and then get to work on filling the gaps.”
“We are not alone, tending the gardens of our lives in isolation. We are all connected. What we put out into the world determines what we get back and, ultimately, how we feel inside.”
“Trust your gut. If it keeps rumbling, that's a good indication that some aspect of your life is incompatible with your values, and it might be time to change direction.”
“Too often, a life of service, impact, and change-making is depicted as being in direct conflict with a life of adventure, joy, and pleasure. But it's not a question of martyr versus maverick, philanthropy versus personal gain, or duty versus delight. It's both!”
“Our social connections can be thought of in a number of ways - like threads in a strong web, bridges spanning communities, or even those interwoven tree roots in the forest. The important thing to remember is this: the strength of all these systems relies on healthy, nourished connections. Our hearts and dreams may be boundless, but in practical terms, we only have so much time and energy. So quality definitely outweighs quantity when it comes to ties with others. The deeper we connect, the more power we have collectively to make a difference to each other and the world.”
“Life is busy, and demands on our time are constant; carving out some for ourselves can be difficult, but remember, it's quality that counts more than quantity. Even a few minutes a day can make a big difference. Strive for balance, and regularly do things that replenish your reserve in all areas of health - body, mind, heart, and soul.”
“If you cultivate a positive mental outlook on life, you'll be better equipped to deal with obstacles in a constructive, proactive way. You'll be more likely to view failure as a momentary setback on your path to success and then take positive steps to forge ahead, rather than dwelling on things outside of your control.”
“Don't let fear stop you from pursuing your dreams. Like life itself, fear is transitory. This might seem counterintuitive, but embracing the impermanence of life can release you from the grip of fear. Once you've let go, anything might be possible - even your wildest aspirations.”
“Don't follow the crowd or others' advice - especially if you haven't asked for it - unless it feels right to you. There is no reason to be overly concerned about what other people may think about what you do. Be fearless in following your authentic path.”
