I love a good quote.
I find them on little scraps of paper all over the house, tucked into
books, scribbled on programs, left in the car on the backs of wrappers. A friend and I were recently talking about
our mutual addiction to them and she keeps a notebook dedicated only to these
pearls of wisdom. I’d like to get so
organized.
I’m thinking that offering some of the ones I’ve come across
might be of interest to followers of this blog.
And maybe, in return, they will be so kind as to share some of their
favorites.
So here is my first
offering.
“Consider every path,
carefully testing it in whichever way you feel necessary, then ask yourself,
but only yourself, one question: ‘Does this path have heart?’ The path that has heart will uplift you, ease
your burden and bring you joy. The path
with no heart will make you stumble, it will break your spirit, and finally
cause you to look upon your life with anger and bitterness.” Carlos Casteneda
Does this resonate with your experience as it does with
mine? If so, how did you learn this?
