Daily Question, May 9

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

  • Jeana

    “When going through hell, keep going” – Winston Churchill. What are the choices? Sit down in hell and remain there, or find your way out. It’s contextual. I don’t see my life as ‘hell’ ever, but when I face difficult challenges, I know I must persevere and not give up. Keep going can mean finding a way to accept what cannot change.

  • Nancy

    Make time for silence. God whispers and the world is loud.

  • Amor fati

    Oh, where is the sea?
    the fishes cried
    As they swam its crystal clearness through.

  • Ed Schulte

    “Few things matter much and most things don’t matter at all”

    ( Daskalos , at the age of seven )

  • Sheila

    “It helps if you remember that everyone is doing their best at their level of consciousness” by Deepak Chopra. Thank-you to all for sharing your inspirational quotes!
    Blessings, Sheila ☮

    In times of difficulty, I reflect on this comment, which I found among your reflections here one time. Instead of thinking ‘this should not be happening’, try ‘How can I move through this?’. This can open the way.

  • Jasminka

    Only in the depth of silence, you can hear footsteps of God.

  • Michele

    Don’t allow other people’s negativity to affect your inner peace.

  • BECKY FAGAN

    The Dalai Lama once said…”You are right where you are supposed to be”. Oh so powerful in my hectic life, especially when I’m running late or wishing to avoid a necessary task.

  • Kevin

    Oh gosh, just one quote? I have hundreds of them! The one that I find most useful over and over again, especially when I am dealing with a potential conflict, is to ask myself this: “Do I want to die on this hill today?”

    • Jeana

      This one goes on the vision board! Thanks for sharing. It’s brilliant.

    • BECKY FAGAN

      I love it! I hope you don’t mind me borrowing this. I’m sure I will need it today.

      • Kevin

        Share away, friend! And my best to you in the journey.

  • Pilgrim

    “We are all just walking each other home.” Ram Dass
    And the poem Santiago by David Whyte in the book Pilgrim.

    • Sheila

      Pilgrim, I looked up the poem Santiago and it gave me a sense of comfort and reassurance. Thank-you for sharing!

    • Jeana

      So soft and gentle, kind and compassionate. Love this. Thanks for sharing

      Hi Pilgrim, Oh, I love that one too by Ram Dass. Another one of his pithy quotes I read about in one of his books, I think it was "Can I Help?", was in the middle of one of his talks before a large audience, he reached into his jacket pocket and shook out two Tylenol into his hand, popped them into his mouth with a sip of water right there at the podium. The audience was aghast that their favorite guru needed such a thing. Ram Dass, sensing the astonishment of his audience looked up and said, "e...
