Sarah Boken - Power and Freedom
"Freedom is actually a bigger game than power. Power is about what you can control. Freedom is about what you can unleash." ~Sarah Bolen
Adrienne Maree Brown Quotes
“E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G—is connected. The soil needs rain, organic matter, air, worms and life in order to do what it needs to do to give and receive life. Each element is an essential component. “Organizing takes humility and selflessness and patience and rhythm while our ultimate goal of liberation will take many expert components. Some of us build and fight for land, healthy bodies, healthy relationships, clean air, water, homes, safety, dignity, and humanizing education. Others of us fight for food and political prisoners and abolition and environmental justice. Our work is intersectional and multifaceted. Nature teaches us that our work has to be nuanced and steadfast. And more than anything, that we need each other—at our highest natural glory—in order to get free.” ~Adrienne Maree Brown, Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds
“I think it is healing behavior, to look at something so broken and see the possibility and wholeness in it.” ~Adrienne Maree Brown, Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds
“In a fractal conception, I am a cell-sized unit of the human organism, and I have to use my life to leverage a shift in the system by how I am, as much as with the things I do. This means actually being in my life, and it means bringing my values into my daily decision making. Each day should be lived on purpose.” ~Adrienne Maree Brown
“Matter doesn't disappear, it transforms. Energy is the same way. The Earth is layer upon layer of all that has existed, remembered by the dirt.” ~Adrienne Maree Brown, Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds
"Remember you are water. Of course you leave salt trails. Of course you are crying. Flow. P.S. If there happens to be a multitude of griefs upon you, individual and collective, or fast and slow, or small and large, add equal parts of these considerations: that the broken heart can cover more territory. that perhaps love can only be as large as grief demands. that grief is the growing up of the heart that bursts boundaries like an old skin or a finished life. that grief is gratitude. that water seeks scale, that even your tears seek the recognition of community. that the heart is a front line and the fight is to feel in a world of distraction. that death might be the only freedom. that your grief is a worthwhile use of your time. that your body will feel only as much as it is able to. that the ones you grieve may be grieving you. that the sacred comes from the limitations. that you are excellent at loving.” ~Adrienne Maree Brown, Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds
“Science fiction is simply a way to practice the future together. i suspect that is what many of you are up to, practicing futures together, practicing justice together, living into new stories. It is our right and responsibility to create a new world.” ~Adrienne Maree Brown, Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds
"Things are not getting worse. They are getting uncovered. We must hold each other tight and continue to pull back the evil." ~Adrienne Maree Brown

Maria von Trapp - Mind and hands
"Our age has become so mechanical that this has also affected our recreation. People have gotten used to sitting down and watching a movie, a ball game, a television set. It may be good once in a while, but it certainly is not good all the time. Our own faculties, our imagination, our memory, the ability to do things with our mind and our hands–they need to be exercised. If we become too passive, we get dissatisfied." ~Maria von Trapp
Ben Daniels - Priceless Gifts
"The priceless gifts we give are not the ones wrapped in fancy paper, but the gifts we give of ourselves. It is the love that we share. It is the comfort we lend in times of need. It is the moments we spend together." ~Ben Daniels

Quotes from HAPPINESS CONVERT
"Beautiful thoughts, beautiful life." ~
"Being positive is not looking at something you don't like and pretending you do; it's realising that there are a million good feeling things that you could give your attention to instead and actually doing it."
"Choose your thoughts. Like you would choose flowers for a bouquet." ~
"Confidence comes from knowing you have the ability to choose how you want to feel in any situation."
"Enjoyment is a most productive use of life."
"Just let the pieces fall where they may and trust that you can be happy … exactly as things are right now." ~
"Look for what you love in life and you will find more happiness everyday."
"Most people don't realise their power to create their own emotional atmosphere, and instead, let circumstances do it for them. Our emotional atmosphere IS our experience of life. Create the one you want."
"My love, leave behind all this fruitless thinking and come lay down here in the silence of Being." ~
"Peace is a full allowance of everything in the world to be exactly as it is right now." ~
"Sometimes it is our insistence that something must change that hinders us from seeing what can be changed."
"Suffering is mental insistence that something should be different than it is."
"The absolute grace of Life is that we discover (usually only when we have exhausted all our other possibilities and collapse) that we can let things happen naturally. When you learn to love your thoughts about things, you don't have to be scared about what happens. You know how to go inside and make peace; you know how to find the goodness within everything." ~
"The best reason to love everything that has ever happened to you is because you love your life, and that's what has happened in it. And because, no doubt, everything is serving you." ~
"The end of suffering is always infinitely closer than you think."
"The only thing better than getting your miracle is knowing that it was coming and just watching it unfold."
"The universe is constantly ready for a playmate."
"There are only two stories we tell in any situation: the story of what I want and the story of what I don't want. They lead in opposite directions and we get to choose which one we tell." ~
"There are times I am filled with excitement and love for no reason at all."
"This is a universe of stories. Our lives consist of the stories we tell. So find a story you love and hold to it with everything you've got."
"To really see all the good in life, you must be willing to give up your job of pointing out what's bad."
"Want clarity? Sit quietly and enjoy a thought on purpose."
"You are the creator of your reality. You are creating an emotional atmosphere to which life fills in people, events and circumstances that match." ~

PERSPECTIVES
"Most of us believe so deeply that it is only with certain circumstances that we can be happy that we hold ourselves apart from what already exists inside of us. If we put as much effort into aligning our thoughts with things that make us feel good as we do into trying to manage and control circumstances, we would experience a shift in our lives that would convince us that the only happiness that exists in the universe is inside of us.
Maybe not easy, but the way is simple: If you want a life that feels good, you have to be willing to feel good right now." ~
📖📖📖
"Sometimes, the only thing holding us back from having the life experience we desire is our need (and sometimes, even demand) that other people experience what we perceive as the perfect world.
But here's the beauty of the system--none of us need any other person to agree with us to be able to experience a blissful life, on our terms. But we just can't access it if we are expecting that everyone else see what we see, experience what we experience, and think what we think.
It has to be good enough that it's just for you. Because everyone else has their own version of perfect in mind--they don't have time nor the desire to agree with us about ours. And agreement is never necessary--we can all live harmoniously, side by side, living the best life that is possible to us." ~

Srinivasa Ramanujan - Thought of God
“An equation for me has no meaning, unless it expresses a thought of God.” -Srinivasa Ramanujan
BIO
Srinivasa Ramanujan FRS was an Indian mathematician who lived during the British Rule in India. Though he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made substantial contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems then considered unsolvable. Ramanujan initially developed his own mathematical research in isolation: "He tried to interest the leading professional mathematicians in his work, but failed for the most part. What he had to show them was too novel, too unfamiliar, and additionally presented in unusual ways; they could not be bothered". Seeking mathematicians who could better understand his work, in 1913 he began a postal partnership with the English mathematician G. H. Hardy at the University of Cambridge, England. Recognizing Ramanujan's work as extraordinary, Hardy arranged for him to travel to Cambridge. In his notes, Hardy commented that Ramanujan had produced groundbreaking new theorems, including some that "defeated me completely; I had never seen anything in the least like them before", and some recently proven but highly advanced results.

Melissa Cox - Place
"I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. My soul understood." ~Melissa Cox
Anthony Hopkins - After Thought
“I am fully aware of my mortality, but at 87 years old, I still wake up every morning with the desire to misbehave. Age is not a barrier when you find passion in what you do. The real secret lies in keeping your curiosity alive, continuing to learn, and not letting the fear of time stop you from enjoying life. Every day is a new opportunity to create, to laugh, and to show that it is never too late to move forward with enthusiasm and joy." ~Anthony Hopkins

A THOUGHT TO PONDER - On Poverty and Wealth
"There is little to be said in favour of poverty, but it was often an incubator of true friendship. Many people will appear to befriend you when you are wealthy, but precious few will do the same when you are poor. If wealth is a magnet, poverty is a kind of repellent. Yet poverty often brings out the true generosity in others." ~ Nelson Mandela

"The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from enemies, it comes from those you trust the most." ~XXXTentacion
