“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”
― Buddha Siddhartha Guatama Shakyamuni

“Love is the most powerful force in the world. Love conquers all. Just a shift in thinking, taking fear into faith and believing you are loved, protected and guided by a benevolent universe can turn a life of hell into one of bliss.”
― Karen S. Wylie, Into Me See: A Book for Daily Inspiration

“We procrastinate because we think we must write our entire project. But to break procrastination, we need only write our first thought. Our second, third, and fourth thoughts follow. Soon we are writing, and procrastination is a thing of our past.”
― Julia Cameron, Write for Life: Creative Tools for Every Writer (A 6-Week Artist's Way Program)

“When it comes to the human soul, the real battle is the struggle to truly become oneself. Not the self that others might want us to be, not even the self that we might wish to be; but the deep self and inner soul trying to awaken at critical crossroads in each life.”
― Michael Meade, Awakening the Soul: A Deep Response to a Troubled World
