“It takes some living to discover that the living itself is one's life, that life is not a goal to attain but a possession to relish.” LifeLife IsGoalPossessionRelish Book:The Endless Adventure Source: The Endless Adventure
“Life is a problem. Not merely a premiss from which we start, but a goal towards which we proceed. It is an opportunity for us not merely to get, but to attain; not simply to have, but to be. Its standard of failure or success is not outward fortune, but inward possession.” LifeProblemLife IsOpportunityGoalStandardsFortunePossessionInward Author:Edwin Hubbel Chapin
“This is the only way to reach the goal, to tell ourselves, and to tell everybody else, that we are divine. And as we go on repeating this, strength comes. He who falters at first will get stronger and stronger, and the voice will increase in volume until the truth takes possession of our hearts, and courses through our veins, and permeates our bodies.” WayFirstsHeartBodyCoursesGoalVoiceStrengthDivineGoes OnIncreaseStrongerPossessionVolumeVeins Book:The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda
“After a quarter of a century of personal experience and professional observation, I have come to understand that peace of mind is the true goal of the considered life. I know now that the sum of all other possessions does not necessarily add up to peace of mind; on the other hand, I have seen this inner tranquility flourish without the material supports of property or even the buttress of physical health. Peace of mind can transform a cottage into a spacious manor hall; the want of it can make a regal residence an imprisoning shell.” KnowsWantMindDoeHandsPeaceGoalSupportCenturyMaterialsAddPropertyPossessionObservationPeace Of MindHallsQuartersShellsTranquilityPersonal ExperiencesCottagesPhysical HealthResidenceRegalQuarter Of A Century Author:Joshua L.
