Today I'm posting three different quotes that have given me something to mull this week. (Christmas is less than a week away, three wise men, three quotes...somehow it ties together!) These quotes have spoken to the part of me that likes to be "safe". The part of me that wants to have a ruler to measure my works by so I can tell if I've made it, or still need to work--meaning my goal is isn't necessarily to be my best. One thing I notice about these quotes is the underlying message that your life is intended to be shared with others: to impact, to touch, to engage and interact with.
What do these quotes inspire you to think?
"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Try not to be a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value." ~Einstein
"Without action, without decision, you remain in possibility, which is safe and beautiful but eventually enervating and boring." ~Jennifer Louden
