1. “A man is never happy, but spends his whole life in striving after something that he thinks will make him so; he seldom attains his goal, and when he does, it is only to be disappointed; he is mostly shipwrecked in the end, and comes into harbour with mast and rigging gone. And then, it is all one whether he is happy or miserable; for his life was never anything more than a present moment always vanishing; and now it is over.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
Happiness, Striving, Disappointment, Life Journey, Existential Reflection
3. “All my work and all my dealings with people feel very easy. Actually, everything is simple. There is one straight road – if you open your eyes you can go along it. I don’t see the need to search for all sorts of clever shortcuts. Happiness and sadness are both on the road – there is no road that avoids them – but peace is found only on this road, nowhere else.” Rabindranath Tagore Simplicity, Peace, Happiness, Life Journey, Awareness
8. “But everything that we encounter is so very much of one piece, and so intimately related to everything else, and has given birth to itself, grows, and is then raised so much to come into its own, that we basically just need to be there, if only unassumingly, if only authentically, the way the earth is there in its affirmation of the seasons, light and dark and wholly in space, longing to be supported by nothing but that web of influences and forces where the stars feel secure.” Rainer Maria Rilke Interconnectedness, Authenticity, Self-Discovery, Life Journey, Personal Growth, Emotional Awareness
10. “Come in, Bean. Come in Julian Delphiki, longed-for child of good and loving parents. Come in, kidnapped child, hostage of fate. Come and talk to the Fates, who are playing such clever little games with your life.” Orson Scott Card Fate, Destiny, Childhood, Manipulation, Life Journey, Mythological Allusion
12. “Do not now strive to uncover answers: they cannot be given you because you have not been able to live them. And what matters is to live everything. Live the questions for now. Perhaps then you will gradually, without noticing it, live your way into the answer, one distant day in the future.” Rainer Maria Rilke Living Fully, Self-Discovery, Embracing Life, Patience, Personal Growth, Life Journey
14. “Do you remember how this life of yours longed in childhood to belong to the grown-ups? I can see that it now longs to move on from them and is drawn to those who are greater yet. That is why it does not cease to be difficult, but also why it will not cease to grow.” Rainer Maria Rilke Personal Growth, Life Journey, Childhood, Transformation, Reflection, Maturity
16. “Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can. I wish you Happy New Year and diary full of best stories ever written in your life.” Lao Tzu New Beginnings, Success Story, Life Journey, Happiness, Positivity, Hope
