Added Value: Wisdom

     

     Today I thought I'd share some quotes I found that contain more wisdom the more you read and think on them.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. C. S. Lewis

Too many people today know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Ann Landers

When you live your life in alignment with a purpose that is centered on selflessly adding value for others, opportunities become abundant and your life becomes fulfilled.   Hal Elrod
1948. Jackie French Koller. “There are two ways to be rich: One is by acquiring much, and the other is by desiring little.”

1947. Linda Breen Pierce. “Simplicity involves unburdening your life, and living more lightly with fewer distractions that interfere with a high quality life, as defined uniquely by each individual.”

1940s. Richard Foster. “We really must understand that the lust for affluence in contemporary society is psychotic. It is psychotic because it has completely lost touch with reality. We crave things we neither need nor enjoy.”

1935. Harold Kushner. “Our souls are not hungry for fame, comfort, wealth, or power. Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how to live so that our lives matter.”

341 BCE. Epicurus. “Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.”

The simple life is an authentic life.   Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

Every day, I like to wake up and remind myself to be grateful of the simple things. Miranda Kerr

     Enjoy your weekend. Appreciate those around you. Be with those you love. Find moments of peace, joy, and quiet. Just breathe. Look at the beauty around you. Make your space uniquely you. Rest. Give back. Live Simply.
