Treasure in Jars of Clay

One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.

#True its about who you BECOME not what you attain.

The fulfilling life, the distinctive life, the relevant life, is an achievement, not something that will fall into your lap because you’re a nice person or mommy ordered it from the caterer.

[…]

Like accolades ought to be, the fulfilled life is a consequence, a gratifying byproduct. It’s what happens when you’re thinking about more important things … Exercise free will and creative, independent thought not for the satisfactions they will bring you, but for the good they will do others, the rest of the 6.8 billion–and those who will follow them. And then you too will discover the great and curious truth of the human experience is that selflessness is the best thing you can do for yourself. The sweetest joys of life, then, come only with the recognition that you’re not special.

Because everyone is.

Congratulations. Good luck. Make for yourselves, please, for your sake and for ours, extraordinary lives.

If you don’t like what you’re doing, then don’t do it.

“Love can come when you’re already who you are, when you’re filled with you. Not when you look to someone else to fill the empty space.”

Be the one….. stop looking for the one!!!

I do not understand why you would go out of your way to hurt each other, when life can already hurt so much.
