“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”-- Albert Einstein
“To live in this single moment, this lightest breath, this softest touch, to be captured by this smallest, this briefest space of time, to be fully present, alive, consumed in this instant alone, this is truly living.”--Jill Pendley"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." --Melody Beattie “Life is a long lesson in humility.”-- James M. Barrie “The secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values.”-- Norman Thomas
“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.”-- Danny Kaye
“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”-- Oprah Winfrey“Life appears to be too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrong.”--Charlotte Bronte“Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.”-- Buddha“I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.”—Maya Angelou
“The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.”-- Zeno
"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards." -- Soren Kierkegaard“There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.”—Deepak Chopra“I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. You can't truly be considered successful in your business life if your home life is in shambles.”—Zig Ziglar “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”-- Winston Churchill

“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.”-- John Lennon
"The most valuable thing I have learned from life is to regret nothing" --Somerset Maugham"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." --Dalai Lama "When the act of reflection takes place in the mind, when we look at ourselves in the light of thought, we discover that our life is embosomed in beauty."--Ralph Waldo Emerson"...where we entirely miss the obvious-that is, that we are all trying to decipher life's big mysteries, and we're each following our own paths of enlightenment." -- Dan Brown
"Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring."--Oscar Wilde
"As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. No reality fits an ideology. Life is beyond that. That is why people are always searching for a meaning to life… Meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning. Life only makes sense when you perceive it as mystery and it makes no sense to the conceptualizing mind."--Anthony de Mello"There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle." -- Deepak Chopra"Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are."--Don Miguel Ruiz"The great end of life is not knowledge but action."-- Thomas H. Huxley

"There is a family of us who have this yearning for a kind of excellence that we can manifest every day of our lives, a family who wants to believe we're not pawns, we're not victims on this planet, that knows we have the power within us here and now to change the world we see around us!"--Richard Bach
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” --Ralph Waldo Emerson "And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others". --Marianne Williamson“Our lives is a series of defining moments, strung together by passing time. Surrender fully to this moment, because it is not the moment itself that defines us, but how we choose to live in it.”--Jill Pendley"With courage and confidence, let our lives confirm the highest and best qualities we know we have. And, with that, we can avoid the need to prove those qualities to anyone. Like putting together the ingredients of a cake -- if you put together love, courage and tenderness, you will get a great life -- every time." Laura Teresa Marquez
"My turning point was my pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. It was then that I, who had dedicated most of my life to penetrate the 'secrets' of the universe, realized that there are no secrets. Life is and will always be a mystery."--Paulo Coelho
"So this world, I think, and an indefinite number of other worlds of our creation, are also -- we're here for fun; we're here for learning; we're here for rembering who we are, and who we are, are expressions of life so absolutely linked with the life that is, always was, always will be."--Richard Bach"When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities."—Deepak Chopra"When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want? Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car? Will you find comfort in rereading your financial statement? Of course not. What will matter then will be people. If relationships will matter most then, shouldn't they matter most now?" — Max Lucado"Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure."-- Oprah Winfrey
"Life is a promise; fulfill it". Mother Teresa
As I end this collection of inspirational quotes about life with Mother Teresa's quote, I couldn't help but feel so great and hopeful and optimistic and wanting to go out into the world and be a better person. I know there will be difficult days when I would rather sulk and pout and be depressed. But I have made a choice to be happy. And one of the things that will make me happy is doing the things I love so I can be more of me...life's most beautiful gift.
That is my challenge. And it will be a joy to fullfill life's promise. And my dear friend, wherever you are now and whatever you are doing and whoever you are becoming, I wish you a life of love, meaning and joy.
Love and light be upon you.
Michelle Simtoco

my favorite quote is "don't be threatened by people smarter than you. Compromise everything but your core values. Seek to renew yourself even when you're hitting home runs. And everything matters." Howard Schultz.
I love that "regret nothing" quote. It's a waste of time to regret, since we cannot change the past.
