Seeking Inspiration. Just.
July 21, 2009
Ever feel like certain quotes seem exactly relevant for you, or for your life, and simply explain what you’re going thru at a certain moment in time? I found a couple of them yesterday, just thought i’d share them with, see if they have the same impact they did on me, as they do for you. Peace.
“Because it’s only when you’re tested that you truly discover who you are. And it’s only when you’re tested that you discover who you can be. The person that you want to be, does exist – somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith, and belief beyond the HEARTACHE and fear of what life has. But once in a while, people push on to something better, something found just beyond the pain of going it alone and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.”
“There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad; afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.”
“Someone once told me, every song has an ending, Jake, but is that any reason not to enjoy the music?”
“Every song has a CODA – a final movement, whether it fades out, or crashes away. Every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music? The truth is, there’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s just life.” <33
Khalil Gibran once wrote:
“Your reason and your passion are the rudder and sails of your seafaring soul. If either be broken, you can but toss and drift or else be held at standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining. And passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to it’s own destruction.”
Octovio Paz once wrote:
“Solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Man is the only being who knows he is alone.”
What a frightening thing the human is; a mass of gauges and dials and registers, and we can read only a few and those perhaps, not accurately.
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours.
