I love quotes and this video is full of inspiring art of life images and ideas

I am a big quotations fan and add the at the beginning and end of whatever I write. They have such encapsulated wisdom and illustrate that the greatest eloquence comes within brevity. I am often challenged in expressing things briefly and that might be part of the reason I am so drawn to the way quotes express the "art of living" in powerful one or two liners. Here are a few more favorite quotes and ideas for inspired living.



It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes." ~Sally Field

A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her."
~David Brinkley,
We evaluate our own worth based on cues we receive from others. In other words, we look to others to establish who we are, how we should behave and how we're valued even though this societal reflection is not an accurate perception of who we really are. To believe in yourself is to recognize the true who of you--your core being--your true worth. Believing in yourself is a survival skill. You need to feel worthwhile. You need to believe that YOU can affect situations in your life so you can gain the confidence and courage to face the challenges of life. Take personal responsibility now--choose your thoughts--change your attitude and decide to believe in yourself and you will attract a happier life and feel a sense of freedom and independence.



"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world. We were born to make manifest the love and light of Source  that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

~Marianne Williamson

"Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent."
~Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.”

~ The Dalai Lama

Signs of awakening and spiritual shifts

More Awakening Signs include:

-A feeling that something has changed within you

You simply feel different, you may not look any different but you know something has changed internally. Your old ways are falling by the wayside and the real you is starting to emerge.

-An increase in occurrences of coincidence

Better known as synchronicity, favourable people and beneficial circumstance start to appear with exactly what you need. Answers to questions are revealed to you through signs and messages. Synchronicity is a sign you are on the right track and that you are aware of these miracles happening around you. The more you notice and take heed, the more they appear so show appreciation for the guidance you are receiving.

-Quicker manifestations

Spiritual awakening raises your vibration; this involves a release of blockages which allows abundance to flow to you. Being in alignment with a higher vibration results in quicker and more beneficial manifestations to be received by you. Be aware of your thoughts so you get what you really want or better.

-Paying more attention to the details of daily life

-A desire to enroll in a classroom of "higher" learning

-Seeking new friends and groups who are interested in the Integrated life of the spirit (meaning balance in mind-body-spirit)

-Going to new places and moving outside of your comfort zone

For many of you, this is allowing yourself to ask questions in groups, to talk to "strangers" and to let go of your fears of looking uninformed in front of others.

-Sense of your own power to create with thought, words, and actions

-A feeling that you are somehow different, with new skills and gifts emerging, especially healing ones.

-Increased integrity

You realize that it is time for you to seek and speak your truth.

-A knowing sense of connectedness / Oneness



You have an abiding knowing from within of the intrinsic inter-relatedness of everything, both living and non-living. You have a sense that now your life is a living manifestation of this Truth, and that you are It -- as are all people
