Quotes are not there so we would just “like” them. They are not just cool stuff that we share because they are “nice” or “cute”. Quotes are meant to inspire us to change; to change our attitude or change our deeds. To do something about our life. To improve something in our relationships; our health; our work; our finances or the way we are using our time.

Quotes are the very essence of great beings’ experiences; many of them were extremely painful ones. They are the legacy of brave people and they are there to remind us of the life’s fundamentals which we didn’t learn in school. Quotes are full of wisdom which could take us a lifetime or journey of great adversity to really get.

Quotes could be the wake up call to change, to transformation, to awakening. Quotes can be the fire that can enlighten our way towards more fulfillment and self actualization in life. Quotes are there so they would inspire us to say: That is it, I will change this forever.

So let’s not waste this treasure by just “liking” it. Let’s use it to get inspired. Let’s act. Let’s change. It doesn’t matter how big or small this change would be because as Lao-tzu said “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Let’s make every quote be the fuel of these very first steps to life change.

What Success Is Not…

Success is not an ego journey. It is not about “look how great I am”. Success is a spiritual journey to explore and achieve our true potential to serve and help others. It is about adding more value to people around us. It is simply not about the “I”; it is about the “We”.

Success is not a destination. It is not about getting there. Success is a journey like happiness. It is an everyday journey of growth and expansion.

Success is not money or material things. Success is inner joy and peace. Success is the sense of abundance. Success is energy, good health and great relationships.

Are you grateful for all the goodness in your life? Are you grateful for what you are and who you are? For simple things that you’ve taken for granted like your body; your soul, your heart and your mind? For simple things like the people who are around you from parents to family to people you love to friends and colleagues?

Are you grateful for the air you breath and heart that beats without the need to ask it to? Are you grateful for the billions of cells that take care of your body in every single moment without the need to take care of it yourself? Are you grateful to everything in your body from your head to your toes?

Are you grateful that you have a home you can go to while million of people don’t? Are you grateful that you had the opportunity to go to school and/or university to study while hundred millions of children don’t? Are you grateful that you can eat whatever you want whenever you want while there are people who are starving and dying from hunger? Are you grateful for having a job or business and you make money at the end of each month or your country pays you if you don’t while people are looking desperately to make a living?

Are you grateful for the nature around you? Are you grateful for the seasons even winter? Are you grateful for love that is within you and around you which you can always find it if you really look for it? Are you grateful that you can put a smile on your face whenever you want although you forgot to? Are you grateful? Are you really really grateful?!

Philosophy of Life

Philosophy of life matters because it is simply the foundation of our attitude and the way we see ourselves and everything around us. Philosophy of life does matter because it is key to any change or action we take. Philosophy of life is all about our values, beliefs and rules about life,  people and ourselves and these are extremely important because they control what we think, how we feel and what we do every single moment every single day; which means ultimately our destiny.

Now the key question is what is the source of our life philosophy? Well there are two options. The first is our surroundings from  news, TV, complainers, naysayers, and negative and pessimist people. The kind of people who can tell us all what we can’t be, do, or have. The second source is self chosen surrounding by seeking the great literature, the wisdom of ages, great people who achieved something, who touched other people and who left a legacy in their life. People who can inspire us and lift us to become better and better and happier and happier everyday.

So the ultimate question is what is the source of our philosophy of our life?! The choice is completely ours…
