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.”

“The question is: do you want suffering or do you want peace? It's that simple.”

“Permission slips” are the tools, practices, identities, and symbols that give us the sense that we are allowed to grow, heal, or step into a new way of being. All spiritual, religious, and energetic pathways are valid because they are permissions or passes for the individual to align with their higher self.”

“Relationships are valuable no matter who they are between.”

“Life is not a competition. No one has to lose for someone else to win. A true blessing blesses everyone.”

“Consciousness is existence itself — one stream, one field, one song. Many currents, many blooms. Endless possibilities, endless joy, endless excitement.”

“A shade of sorrow passed over Taliesin's face. 'There are those,' he said gently, 'who must first learn loss, despair, and grief. Of all paths to wisdom, this is the cruelest and longest. Are you one who must follow such a way? This even I cannot know. If you are, take heart nonetheless. Those who reach the end do more than gain wisdom. As rough wool becomes cloth, and crude clay a vessel, so do they change and fashion wisdom for others, and what they give back is greater than what they won.”

“To say that a being who is sentient has no interest in continuing to live is like saying that a being with eyes has no interest in continuing to see. Death—however “humane”—is a harm for humans and nonhumans alike.”

“Is the sunrise superior just because it goes before the sunset with a day and sunset goes before the sunrise with a night? Could there be day without night and sunrise without sunset, life without death?”

“At the end of the day, what is life? A beautiful journey. Why must we take it so seriously and not enjoy every moment of it? Why not let any person have his chance in anything he desires? ...Why not vanish the hate and forgive? Why not follow our dreams and make them reality?”

“Es decir..., lo que yo creo es que el hombre piensa en el significado de la vida porque sabe con certeza que va morir algún día. (...) Nadie sabe lo que va a ocurrir. Por eso nosotros, para evolucionar necesitamos la muerte.”
