“Life is all about finding yourself through experiences, and about learning more and more about who you are and what you’re capable of.

Get out there and make an impact on people, whether it’s by helping them directly or by doing research to make their lives better or just by inspiring them. Do something good to be remembered for.

“Surely, it is only when the mind is creatively empty that it is capable of finding out whether there is an ultimate reality or not. But, the mind is never creatively empty; it is always acquiring, always gathering, living on the past or in the future, or trying to be focused in the immediate present: it is never in that state of creativeness in which a new thing can take place. As the mind is a result of time, it cannot possibly understand that which is timeless, eternal.” TryingMindStatesRealityPastResultsFindingsEternalCapableEmptyUltimateFocusedNew ThingsTimelessGatheringLiving OnCreativenessUltimate Reality Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti

“I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, "I don't think you can be focused on, 'Oh gee, I want to make a difference.' It has to be spontaneous.

“What is the best that lies within us? Of how much are we capable? None of us yet knows. An old Arabic legend tells of a rider finding a spindly sparrow lying on its back in the middle of the road. He dismounted and asked the sparrow why his feet were in the air. Replied the sparrow, "I heard the heavens were going to fall today." "And I suppose you think your puny bird legs can hold up the whole universe?" laughed the horseman. "Perhaps not," said the sparrow with conviction, "but one does whatever one can.” ThinkingKnowsDoeSaidWholeTodayLyingFallUniverseHeavenHeardAirFeetMiddleFindingsCapableBirdConvictionLegsLaughedLegendsRidersSparrowsHorsemenMiddle Of The Road Author:Jeffrey R.
