Perhaps the world progresses not by maturing, but by being in a permanent state of adolescence, of thrilled discovery.
Julian Barnes
If we can cultivate that quality of enthusiasm just for the hunt... just for the act of tracking our lives, paying attention to them, approaching them with wonder and curiosity, our lives are bound to reveal things to us that they won't reveal if we're not interested.
Gregg Levoy
Wherever we come alive, that is the area in which we are spiritual. To be vital, awake, aware, in all areas of our lives, is the task... and the goal.
David Steindl-Rast
Questions are magic words that invoke the spirit of discovery and wonder, and asking questions out loud is the open sesame.
Gregg Levoy
We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.
e. e. cummings
In the end the only genuine safety in this world comes from risking oneself completely in order to become oneself more fully.
Michael Meade
Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.
Anne Lamott
Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Rumi
