Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of truth.”

― Carl Sagan

“Those who can make you believe absurdities; can make you commit atrocities.”

― Voltaire

“I don’t believe in astrology; I’m a Sagittarius and we’re skeptical.”

Purpose

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

― Stephen Hawking

“Live the Life of Your Dreams: Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams according to your vision and purpose instead of the expectations and opinions of others.”

Meaningful.

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.”

― Dalai Lama XIV

“Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny–he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally–you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.”

― Osho

“What we like to think of ourselves and what we really are rarely have much in common….”

― Stephen King, The Drawing of the Three

“It’s not how much money we make that ultimately makes us happy between nine and five. It’s whether or not our work fulfills us. Being a teacher is meaningful.”

― Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers: The Story of Success

Today many of us are celebrating Independence Day. Officially it happens today July 4th here in America. It has not yet happened for everyone everywhere.

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.  ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Have you thought about what Independence means to you?

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

― Benjamin Franklin, Memoirs of the life & writings of Benjamin Franklin

“So, we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?”

― Hunter S. Thompson

“Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of competence.”

― Eleanor Roosevelt, The Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt
