Wisdom Quote by Donna Goddard — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Passion is not a luxury or a diversion. It is the pathway into coherence. Our brains are wired for alignment. If we listen to what draws us, even in small ways, we begin to live from this state. Following what excites and enlivens us is the most direct way to live in harmony with life itself.”

“Don’t feel bad about feeling bad. Don’t be frightened of feeling afraid. Don’t be angry about getting angry. There is no need to give up when we are feeling depressed. Nor should we be dismayed at the grief which often accompanies the outgrowing of anything which needs outgrowing. We can be glad that our soul is speaking to us and pushing us onwards. We frequently need to persevere with a period of inner turmoil before the dust can settle and be swept out the door.”

“Each person is here to walk a unique path, marked by events, connections, and opportunities placed specifically for them. When we honour what genuinely calls us, we step into alignment with our own design.”

“We do not engage in idle or intentional gossip which undermines someone else's integrity or which spreads the seeds of fear by talking unthinkingly about illness, disasters, and all the other fears which run rampant in the world.”

“When we do what we love, our whole being aligns. Passion gathers the scattered energies of the mind. The chatter subsides, the doubts quieten, and we slip into a rhythm where the mind, body, and spirit coordinate as one. Insights come. Connections appear. Solutions arrive without strain.”

“Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.”

“To walk among trees is to walk among elders who speak without sound.”

“Knowledge is marvelous, but wisdom is even better.”

“Most women had the one thing in common: they had great pain when they gave birth to their children. This should make a bond that held them all together; it should make them love and protect each other against the man-world. But it was not so. It seemed like their great birth pains shrank their hearts and their souls. They stuck together for only one thing: to trample on some other woman... whether it was by throwing stones or by mean gossip. It was the only kind of loyalty they seemed to have. Men were different. They might hate each other but they stuck together against the world and against any woman who would ensnare one of them.”

“No matter how kind you are, always expect a few imbeciles.”
