10 Foundational Truths for Personal Growth

by leona on September 30, 2008

j0432877I Stumbled Upon this post which explores 10 fundamentals for personal growth. I have copied the quotes in below and highly recommend you read the commentary for each one!! The commentary explores how we live in this world and how we can transform through where we place our attention and intentions. For me, these quotes speak to the innate power of our minds to create a world we want to live in, the value of generosity and knowing ourselves so that we can live authentically.It also speaks to the nature of perception and how we see the world through our own window of interpretations and beliefs.

Love to  hear how these quotes speak to you…

1. “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”

2. “All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?”

3. “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

4. “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”

5. “However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?”

6. “Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.”

7. “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

8. “In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.”

9. “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.”

10. “The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.”
