Daily Question, March 22

What one quote most often gives me the perspective I am seeking?

  • Cathie

    The light within me blesses the light within you for “every creature is a mirror of Divinity.” Hildegard of Bingen (for the last part)

  • Kylee

    Be the change you wish to see in the world.

    I have part of this tattooed on my wrist as a daily reminder. You can be the change even though you are “just one person”

  • Anonymous

    These words were quietly whispered to myself, “I am going to be Happy.”

  • TLorinda

    This Too Shall Pass

  • dragonfly

    “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche.

  • Malag

    Depression hates a moving target

  • KC

    ‘There is no beginning too small’ Henry David Thoreau

  • Anna

  • Ose

    … “You can only see clearly with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.” – Antoine de Saint Exupéry.
    I had to go searching for it. It did not come immediately. Still, it says what I deeply feel true. It lets our heart melt, so touching and guiding us truthfully.

    • Ed Schulte

      YES! and Thank You! A great reminder that Telepathy, Clairaudience, Clairvoyance etc are all abilities of the Heart Center , the brain plays no part in those abilities

        By the way, dear Ed, how can you be so sure about?

          Hi!…and “sure about?.”……I am not sure ( but am sensing from here ) about your question…….are you are asking about the specific aspects in the original message…..if you are then …i know it by experiencing it directly …and applying many inner exercises to take it further ….thie quality is no secret…but due to humans allowing it to be atrophied in them it become lost in ego thinking. A good example is the “Holy Grail” ..The Grail IS the qualities of the heart, that was the true knowing of it…..BUT for the sake of greed and wanting power over others it became a false notion that it was a Cup Joshua Emmanuel drain from at the so-called “Last Supper” a very convenient lie!

        🙏❤️✨
        Recently a young woman presented with these qualities and abilities of a highly permeable and loving heart. But she needs to add how to stay in the deep heart´s contact with all and in the same time be able to stay grounded. It feels to me that cultivating gratefulness might be one essential part to bring balance.

    “It is what it is…”

  • Hermann-Josef

    Be willing to be a beginner every single morning. Master Eckhard

  • Don Jones

    More of an invocation than quote:

    From Untruth to Truth, From Darkness to Light
    From Mortality to Immortality
    May I be led.
    Aum… Peace, Peace, Peace.

    Love all the responses here & the quotes, I am learning so much.
    Like many have said already, there are so many quotes that resonate with me. Love love, “This too shall pass”.
    I have this quote from Winston Churchill on my fridge,
    “Never never never give up.” Always a gentle reminder for me.❤️

    Be Here Now – These words help to keep me centred when my mind is catastophising!

    I love this question ♥ It's a joy to read everyone's quotes...all so meaningful and each one of them speaks to me. I am a "do-er" and am learning how to simply "be". And that is enough. "Be still and know that I am God" is engraved on a plaque in my meditation room. It reminds me that I don't have to earn God's Love..it is freely given. It reminds me that God is in conrol and I get to let go. I live with chronic illness, and since I'm a "do-e...

    I love this question ♥ It’s a joy to read everyone’s quotes…all so meaningful and each one of them speaks to me. I am a “do-er” and am learning how to simply “be”. And that is enough. “Be still and know that I am God” is engraved on a plaque in my meditation room. It reminds me that I don’t have to earn God’s Love..it is freely given. It reminds me that God is in conrol and I get to let go.
    I live with chronic illness, and since I’m a “do-er” this provides me with lots of opportunities for radical acceptance! Mother Teresa helps me when I’m frustrated that I have limitations and feel like I’m not contributing enough. This quote makes my heart smile and opens up my idea of what “fulfilling my purpose” means in this life:

    “We can’t all do great things. But we can all do small things with great love”

    What a cool question! ‘Be good do good’ and ‘love all serve all’ come to mind, but those are not my answer. Something with ‘peace’ or ‘peaceful’ in it sounds better – I look fwd to reading the posts! 🙂
    …
    “Peace I ask of thee, o river, peace peace peace” – that’s where I’ve gotten before reading the posts.
    …
    Have read the quotes now – And the Winner, for me, is: “This too shall pass.”

    ‘Come away from the din. Come away to the quiet fields, over which the great sky stretches, and where, between us, and the stars, there lies but silence; and there, in the stillness let us listen to the voice that is speaking within us.’

    “Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, And the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” – Attributed to the Buddha

    When I’m overwhelmed by work or events I remember the meaning of a line from a novel I read last year that I wrote in my journal. I don’t recall the exact wording but basically the question “What do I do now?! There’s so much to do!” is answered by “You do the next thing that you can do.” That helps with the overwhelm.

    And my own, when asked to sum up my career path in 6 words for a conference panel discussion: Always doing work I believe in.

      Thanks, Barb! I love the ‘Buddha’ quote, which is new to me. I’ve saved it in my gratefulness doc. 🙂

  • Imo Greenwood

    I quite like “You’ve got to water your own tree before taking care of the forest.”

    • Mica

      What a good Greenwood quote, Imo Greenwood. I’m also a Greenwood. 🙂
      OK, “Imo”, – I shared your Greenwood quote with my 2 Greenwood bros 🙂

    Ending each Global Peace Meditation with…
