Life is fragrant

Life is fragrant

Life is fragrant, gusty, and surprising. In the following inspirational quotes, muses about life reach up and grab your throat. ‘Life is a splendid torch’ in George Bernard Shaw’s inspirational quote. ‘Life chooses us’ says Addie Johnson’s inspirational quote. J. Stone speaks about artists whose medium is life itself in his inspirational quote.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “Brief candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
-George Bernard Shaw

You often hear amazing, satisfied, courageous people say, “I had no idea I would be doing what I’m doing today. My life chose me.”
-Addie Johnson

How can your life choose you? People may think its luck or happenstance when opportunities knock on their door (or knock them down flat). But I believe that to make choices that will affect your life for the better, you must relinquish control. You must find a frame of mind from which you can make real choices, and that requires that you be in the moment, ready to evaluate the facts of your life honestly. One problem that many of us overachievers face is our ability to plan and organize ad nauseum. We’re relying too heavily on our left brain, which makes lists and generates orderly outcomes. Sometimes we have to put a muzzle on our efficient left brain and let loose the messy troublemaker, the right brain. Put on some music, make a drawing of your problem without using any words, or try a solution you think might be out of your reach. The right brain takes creative leaps of imagination, sees the bigger picture, and is the compass that can help you choose your life.
-Addie Johnson

I wish that life should not be cheap, but sacred,
I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
-Isak Dinesan

The most invisible creators I know of are those artists whose medium is life itself. The ones who express the inexpressible—without brush, hammer, clay, or guitar. They neither paint nor sculpt—their medium is their being. Whatever their presence touches has increase life. They see and don’t have to draw. They are the artists of being alive.
-J. Stone

I hope you enjoy this group of inspirational quotes. The great Mystery of Life pulses through each of us. We ever seek to understand and sometimes inspirational quotes give us glimmers of knowing.

Thanks for stopping by.
