LOVE YOUR SHADOWS

"There is that part of ourselves that feels ugly, deformed, unacceptable. That part, above all, we must learn to cherish, embrace, and call by name."
-- Macrina Wiederkehr

BALANCE MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL

"What is [the role of money] in the search for meaning? Is our relationship to it one of the chief factors that keeps us in our prison, or could it also be a tool for breaking out, for awakening to a life filled with intensity of purpose?"
-- Jacob Needleman

LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE

"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. ...I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing."
-- Oriah Mountain Dreamer

SEEK UNION OVER SEPARATION

"As a #holistic being you shatter the illusion of your separateness and reveal your connection to everything. This #empowers you in a way that the ego-driven self could never contemplate."
-- Wayne Dyer

Willingness to change

"Choice of attention... is to the inner life what choice of action is to the outer. In both cases, a man is responsible for his choice and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be." 
-- W.H. Auden

Slow Down

"The soul requires duration of time -- rich, thick, deep, velvety time -- and it thrives on rhythm. Soul can’t be hurried or harried .... We may go through many events in the day and experience nothing because the soul has not had the opportunity to feel them from many different points of view." -- Robert Sardello

Be aware of duty

"Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion towards men and towards objective things." -- Albert Einstein
