In my last blog, I wrote about living a story – a life full of meaning. I found so many quotes on the subject I decided to dedicate a whole blog to them. Enjoy.
“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who want to go on making mud pies in the slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” – C.S. Lewis
“There is only one invitation it would kill me to refuse, yet I’m tempted to turn it down all the time. I get the invitation every morning when I wake up to actually live a life of complete engagement, a life of whimsy, a life where love does. It doesn’t come in an envelope. It’s ushered in by a sunrise, the sound of a bird, or the smell of coffee drifting lazily from the kitchen. It’s the invitation to actually live, to fully participate in this amazing life for one more day. Nobody turns down an invitation to the White House, but I’ve seen plenty of people turn down an invitation to fully live.” – Bob Goff
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” – Helen Keller
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” – Anne Frank
“Write a good story, take somebody with you, and let me [God] help.” – Don Miller on Ecclesiastes
“We have a lot of power in what can be done if we simply just do.” – Anonymous
“All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose He has given them.” – Oswald Chambers
“People who take huge risks aren’t afraid to fail.” – Bob Goff
“[I have] resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can. [I have] resolved, never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life. [I have] resolved, that I will live so as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.” – Jonathan Edwards
