Life Lessons Quote by Simon Stephenson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Even when we do not actively participate in our destiny, we are still on a chosen path. Life has a way of making decisions for us.”

“Perfection isn't a thing, It is a moment. A very brief moment that in time, that is lost as the world and the universe continues to move around you. If we are going to reject solutions because they aren't perfect or come from imperfect people, then we will never move forward.”

“The river doesn’t rush to be heard, yet it carves stone. That’s the kind of patience we need now.”

“Sometimes, you ought to thank God for closing some doors, for He wants you to be whole. There is no point in being in places that tarnish your image, disturb your peace, drain your spirit, steal your joy, hinder your growth or wear out your soul.”

“Be resilient and do the work required for success. It is as simple as that.”

“Never assume that the person you are dealing with is weaker or less important than you are. Some people are slow to take offense, which may make you misjudge the thickness of their skin, and fail to worry about insulting them. But should you offend their honor and their pride, they will overwhelm you with a violence that seems sudden and extreme given their slowness to anger. If you want to turn people down, it is best to do so politely and respectfully, even if you feel their request is impudent or their offer ridiculous.”
