― Rachel Aviv, Strangers to Ourselves: Unsettled Minds and the Stories That Make Us

“Fun is something you're supposed to have in the process of accomplishing something [meaningful]. When you start thinking that 'fun is the whole point' rather than 'fun is the reward to get you to be active and do something [meaningful]'... What we find out is that people who have a life [where fun for its own sake is the whole point of life,] often are not wonderful people; they're spoiled brats. It doesn't satisfy you. It actually leaves you rudderless.”
― Bret Weinstein

“You may have found your tribe or you may still be searching, but either way Divine Will is going to tap you on the shoulder.

― Henry Chong

“People think they have all the time in the world, that they know how to plan things. And that is why they don't take chances. It's those who know that everything can change in the blink of an eye and that our plans are at the mercy of destiny: it's they who know how to take chances, how to make mistakes, how to live. Nothing is ever actually a mistake. Do the same mistake at a different time, in a different place, in a different season, and it would be considered perfect. There are no mistakes, there is only destiny colliding with time and with our own definition of planning. We make the mistake of trying to dictate, that's what we do. If we were not always trying to control time and outcome, we would see, that everything flows. It all flows. We try to put the river into a bucket and tell it where to go and that is the only actual mistake that any of us have ever made.”
― C. JoyBell C.

― Russell M. Nelson, Accomplishing the Impossible: What God Does, What We Can Do

“You tend to think that you are mainly the big blotches on the canvas: the big splashes that you want to draw attention to (you're aiming for the Olympics one day, you're into drag racing, you're working for a luxury company in Paris, so on and so forth). But those big blotches that you want to draw attention to aren't you, at the end of the day. At the end of the day, you are the tiny dots that you've pulled together, the small dots on your canvas which you've pulled together that make up the fundamental person that you are: the way you put a flower on your slice of cake, the way you mop your floor three times because once isn't good enough, the way that you nurture another person who is growing on the same path you have already been through, so on and so forth. You are the accumulation of the attention that you put into your daily, mundane actions which lend life to your existence. Or character to your daily life. That is you. That is what you have to give. That is your energy. Your big blotches have no power if your little dots are not accounted for.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Too often, we think that godliness means careening around without any real direction, shooting off like a space shuttle with a deficient navigating system. Our lives follow whatever paths the Lord desires, but let’s remember that godliness is closely related to routine, commitment, hard work, and tireless pursuit. The Bible, as we will see, teaches us to invest our lives in certain core institutions and areas. Many of us have missed this; we will profit from recovering this idea.”
― Owen Strachan

“Be clear about your direction.  ”
― Germany Kent

“I thought back then to what the abbot of Tofukuji had said, explaining how even a businessman or journalist had something to gain from a night in a monastery, and a taste of stillness. One had to learn how not to spend time, he had suggested. 'When you're hurrying around too quickly,' he had said, 'there's a part of the world you can't see. If, for example, you're taking a wrong direction in your life, it's only when you stop and look at things clearly that you can revise your direction and take a more proper course. The message of Zen is that in order to find ourselves, we've got to learn to stop.”
― Pico Iyer, The Lady and the Monk: Four Seasons in Kyoto

“Birth, life, death. We think it is linear, but it is not. We think it is a circle but in truth, there are no lines to make a shape. There are no borders without lines. We do not travel a path from here to there. We are always on the path. It goes nowhere. It comes from nowhere. It is nowhere.”
― Caryl Hallberg, A Brush With Mortality

“...Your heart is seeking, and needing, a new direction. Though your mind has yet to fully grasp that. People's hearts are not that easy to grasp.'

― Haruki Murakami

“The direction of life is steered every time to reach the destination”
― Davidson Prabu
