Wisdom Quote by Shannon L. Alder — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The best kind of happiness is a habit you're passionate about.”

“Love is proved the moment you let go of someone because they need you to.”

“They say faith is taking the first step when you can’t see the whole staircase. Actually, wisdom is seeing the elevator behind it that would have taken you to the top floor.”

“In the end, what will you fight for-- what got there first, what got there last or what has been there all along?”

“The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen.”

“What is love? He is neither mortal nor immortal, but a mean between the two. He is a great spirit (daimon) and like all spirits he is intermediate between the divine and the mortal.

“Your call to power is to slow down and reflect within. Gather the peace within yourself before you go out and act among the world. The feel good feeling that lasts is only achieved when you yourself know peace. Nothing is more powerful. This is why you have the highs and lows, the mood swings, the transcendent ecstasy followed by the crash. It is because you have yet to develop a foundation of peace for yourself that acts as an unmovable anchor in your life. Establish this peace in your life and you will experience a whole new reality of the world that flows with you in every way possible, rather than against you.”

“The more you know, the less you need.”

“What you are trying to let go of”
