Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. —Steve Jobs More about this quote Tags: life dogma self-knowledge Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life. —John Lennon More about this quote Tags: love fear acceptance fearlessness Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

Because we are all what we choose. —Margaret Cho More about this quote Tags: beauty self-worth ugly Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
