The life that goes out in love to all life is the life that is full, and rich, and continually expanding in beauty and in power.
Ralph Waldo TrineRead
There are many who are living far below their possibilities because they are continually handing over their individualities to others. Do you want to be a power in the world? Then be yourself.
Interpretation
This quote encourages individuals to embrace their true selves rather than conforming to others' expectations.
Ralph Waldo Trine emphasizes the importance of individuality and self-authenticity in achieving one's full potential. He argues that many people limit themselves by allowing external influences to dictate their identities and actions, suggesting that true empowerment and influence come from being genuine and true to oneself.
In practice
During a motivational speech to inspire students to embrace their uniqueness.
The life that goes out in love to all life is the life that is full, and rich, and continually expanding in beauty and in power.
A miracle is nothing more nor less than this One who has come into a knowledge of his true identity, of his oneness with the allpervading Wisdom and Power, thus makes it possible for laws higher than the ordinary mind knows of to be revealed to him.
Love is everything. It is the key to life, and its influences are those that move the world.
Never affirm or repeat about your health what you do not wish to be true.
Do each day all that can be done that day. You don't need to overwork or to rush blindly into your work trying to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible time. Don't try to do tomorrow's or next week's work today. It's not the number of things you do, but the quality, the efficiency of each separate action that count. To achieve this "habit of success," you need only to focus on the most important tasks and succeed in each small task of each day.
Brethren, do something; do something, do something! While societies and unions make constitutions, let us win souls. I pray you, be men of action all of you. Get to work and quit yourselves like men. Old Suvarov's idea of war is mine: `Forward and strike! No theory! Attack! Form a column! Charge bayonets! Plunge into the center of the enemy! Our one aim is to win souls; and this we are not to talk about, but do in the power of God!'
A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future.
One who fears failure limits his activities. Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again.
May you find your Tower, Roland, and breach it, and may you climb to the top!
You want to get to the top of the cliff. But that's not what you focus on immediately. You focus on the next ledge just beyond your reach, because you need to do one clever thing to get up there. And then, once you get there, you do it again. A lot of this is rather boring and not very glamorous. But you can't jump cliffs in a single bound.
