Life Lessons Quote by Mehmet Murat ildan — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“There are things you're waiting for in life, and then there are things waiting for you in life! The whole problem arises when these are different things.”

“Reduce the number of items in your home; reduce the crowds around you; reduce the thoughts in your head. There are so many things around you and in your mind, they're all like curtains, preventing you from seeing what's around you, in front of you, behind you, left and right. Reduce these as much as you can, get rid of them as much as you can! Simplify and clarify your surroundings and your mind, let the universe see you, and you the universe! There's so much fog around you; clear it away!”

“My friend, why are you rushing on a peaceful road? Slow down! Why are you moving slowly on a chaotic road? Speed up! You speed up in heaven, you slowdown in hell! Do the opposite!”

“He who challenges the God in his dying bed is indisputably the most courageous man, but not the cleverest one!”

“The less you wait for trains that don't arrive at your station, the more you extend your life!”

“A plan does not guarantee success, but a good plan will cheer you on to keep doing your best.”

“Success is a collection of many small inputs, aimed at achieving bigger outputs.”

“Enshrined in your God-designed purpose is the potential to succeed. He has endowed you with the talent and inherent skills necessary to realize your dreams.”

“What science does not understand is called psychology, what psychology does not understand is called religion, what religion does not understand is called spirituality, what spirituality does not understand is called creation, what creation does not understand is called life, what life does not understand is called the death. There is nothing that the death does not understand—simply, it is an ultimate end of life.”

“I didn't know the answers, but I could feel that the things that gave life meaning came from a place within and from the nurturing of values like tolerance, charity, and community.”

“If a child says, "I don't care about anything", that is not a sign of a wise child but of a troubled and depressed one. Similarly, adults who withdraw from the world soon get bored. Even lovers, if they retreat to their private love nest for too long, lose interest in each other. We do not thrive in safety and rest. Human existence means "transcendence", or going beyond, not "immanence", or reposing passively inside oneself. It means constant action until the day one runs out of thing to do - a day that is unlikely to come as long as you have breath.”
