Fulfillment Quotes

    “I challenge you to make your life the masterpiece you want to paint, the novel you want to read, the day you want to wake to.” ~ Toni Sorenson

      “When I left New York City for the backstreets of Japan, I figured I’d be growing poorer in terms of money, amusements, social life, and obvious prospects, but I’d be richer in what I prize most: days and hours.” ~ Pico Iyer, The Art of Stillness

        “It matters not where or how far you travel – the farther commonly the worse – but how much alive you are.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

          “The idea behind Nowhere – choosing to sit still long enough to turn inward – is at heart a simple one.  If your car is broken, you don’t try to find ways to repaint its chassis; most of our problems – and therefore our solutions, our peace of mind – lie within.  To hurry around trying to find happiness outside ourselves make about as much sense as the comical figure in the Islamic parable who, having lost a key in his living room, goes out into the street to look for it because there’s more light there.” ~ Pico Iyer, The Art of Stillness

            “Making a living and making a life sometimes point in opposite directions.” ~ Pico Iyer, The Art of Stillness

              “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard.  Because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with.” ~ Dorothy, The Wizard of Oz

              So just live.

                So just live.

                Picture Quote Text:

                “In life we do things.  Some we wish we had never done, some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads, but they all make us who we are. And in the end, those experiences shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them, we wouldn’t be at the exact place that we are today. So just live. Make mistakes, and have wonderful times but never ever second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly, where it is that you are going.” ~ Unknown
