Famous Laurie E. Smith Quotes

“Creative leaps are not always graceful, beautiful, or turn out the way we think they will. We often feel ridiculous. Sometimes we take leaps spontaneously, completely unprepared for the changes that happen when we do. Other times we plan and debate, trying to get all our details perfect first. As soon as our feet have left the ground, we may convince ourselves we’ve made a mistake, simply because we are not used to how leaping feels.”

“When we take intuitive and creative leaps of courage into the void, into the black holes of our own consciousness, our hearts leap out along with us. Sometimes we’re lucky and when we’re mid-leap, hanging out there in mid-air, we discover that we are not alone and never have been. Life holds out her two hands to meet us and we are caught.”

“Every now and then, we reach a point in life where we know it’s time for a change. It might start as feeling stuck or bored. We might feel sad about dreams that have not yet come true or frustrated that our old way of doing things isn’t working anymore. Or we may simply wish that we had more time, or more control over the limited time that we do have. When we experience feelings like this, it’s natural to think they are personal, about us, who we are and the unique details of our lives. The truth is, however, we are not alone. People all over the world right now in this exact moment are having similar thoughts and feelings.”

“It’s easy to get lured into thinking that the answer is out there somewhere, in some magical program or guidebook, in some grand gesture or action we need to take. In my experience, the first step—often the most important leap of all—is one we take within.”

“The key to making a change, to getting our lives to really flow, to following our inner callings always begins with an inner commitment to honor who we really are. It’s a private, solitary act. We start a conversation—a conversation with our Truest Selves.”

“Having an authentic, honest relationship with who we really are is not a one-time thing, something we master then move on to the next thing. It is a way of living and moving through the ever-changing world.”

“It was almost as if, in all those many years of not writing on a regular basis, the words had stacked up by the door, clogging things up, making me feel stuck. Now that I started to write again, the door opened and the waiting words tumbled out, relieved to be set free.”

“Creative peaks come and go like waves; they rise and fall. If we are paying attention and willing to go along for the ride without knowing where we will end up or even whether we will survive (at least the version of who we think we are), well then, creating is just the thing.”

“The highs and lows of a creative sojourn—tuning into and following where our True Selves are guiding us to go—are completely natural, but when they happen to us, we may struggle, doubting our inner voice or the very idea of who we are and what we have to offer.”

“Most of us have been raised to live our lives focused on seeking approval from some outer influence, like a parent, teacher, or peers, rather than to trust and connect with our True Self, our own soft, still voice within.”
