Enjoying nature

Quote

Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

John Muir

Stress vs. Passion

Quote

Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stressed; working hard for something we love is called passion.

Simon Sinek

Don’t just give up

Quote

Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something that you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.

Stephen Hawking

The book called life

Quote

Days are the pages of your lifetime so bind them with your best deeds

Imam Ali

Pleasure and grief

Quote

Not that grief vanishes…but that it begins in time to coexist with pleasure; sorrow sits right beside the rediscovery of what is to be cherished in experience. Just when you think you’re done.

Mark Doty

Hard work

Quote

Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.

Horace

Enjoy the ride

Why should we waste the best years of our lives earning money in order to enjoy a questionable freedom during the least valuable part.

Henry Thoreau

Chasing Rainbows

If you chase anything in life chase the things that get you excited about living. Chase the things that give you hope, happiness and a glimpse of a better life. Chase the things that make you want to be a better person. Chase the things that inspire you to think, create and live joyfully. Chase the things that reinforce in your soul that you can make a difference. Chase the things that make you want to transform your heart from selfish to selfless. When you chase that kind of storm you are chasing rainbows.
