Erik Erikson

A Recycled Quote of the Week...
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

"With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself, or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose."
Max Ehrmann
__________
A Recycled Quote of the Week Classsic...
There Is More In Valladolid, Spain, Christopher Columbus died in 1506. There stands a onument commemorating the great discoverer. An interesting feature of the memorial is a statue of a lion destroying one of the Latin words that had been part of Spain's motto for centuries. Before Columbus made his voyages, the Spaniards thought they had reached the outer limits of the earth. Thus, their motto was "Ne Plus Ultra," which means, "No more beyond." The word being torn away by the lion was "Ne" or "No," making it read "Plus Ultra." Columbus had proved that there was indeed "more beyond."

"Our time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. "

Welcome to the Quote of the Week! Your weekly Spiritual Snack for the Mind, Body and Soul. Living the life you want is the theme of this week's quote. Enjoy!
__________
Deep within each one of us there is an inner longing to live a life of greatness and contribution – to really matter, to really make a difference. We may doubt ourselves and our ability to do so, but I want you to know of my deep conviction that you can live such a life. You have the potential within you. We all do. It is the birthright of the human family. All of us can consciously decide to leave behind a life of mediocrity and to live a life of greatness, at home, at work and in the community. No matter what our circumstances may be, such a decision can be made by every one of us, whether that greatness manifests by:
- choosing to have a magnificent spirit in facing an incurable disease,
- making a difference in the life of a child, giving that child a sense of worth and potential,
- becoming a change-catalyst inside an organization, or
- becoming an initiator of a great cause in society.
We all have the power to decide to live a great life, or even simpler, to have not only a good day but a great day. No matter how long we've walked life's pathway to mediocrity, we can always choose to switch paths. Always. It's never too late. We can find our voice.
Stephen Covey

Dr. Seuss

A Recycled Quote of the Week...
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."

What would happen if you discoverd who you really are? Derek Walcott in his poem, Love after Love, thinks it would be like two different people meeting for the first time and making friends. Enjoy!
__________
Love After Love
The time will come when,
with elation,you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life,
whom you ignored for another,
who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
Derek Walcott

"We shall not cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploringWill be to arrive where we startedAnd know the place for the first time."

A Quote Revisited; A Man Remembered
It has come to my attention that Carnegie Mellon professor Randy Pausch, 47, has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer this past Friday. With months to live, Pausch gave his famous "Last Lecture" speech at Carnegie Mellon University in September 2007 and it was featured as a Quote of the Week on September 24th (see below for a link to his last lecture).
He cast a long shadow, and his good works will not long be forgotten. May he rest in peace.
__________
"Be thankful for brickwalls. Brick walls are there for a reason. They let us prove how badly we want things."
Professor Randy Pausch
__________
The Story behind the quote...
Many colleges and universities are sponsoring "Last Lectures," inviting speakers to deliver what they would if they knew it was their last lecture. For the author of the above quote, the "last" part of "last lecture" is very real.
