The vision of the ideal life that we've been taught in the West, which is gaining ever more purchase in China and India and elsewhere, feeds the system we need to undo. Go to school in order to get a degree in order to get a job in order to earn money so you can try to buy happiness because your life sucks, then retire and die: this is not meaningful living. ~ Rob Stewart
Meaningful Living quotes by Rob Stewart
Our deepest need as human beings absolutely centers around our need for genuine love and meaningful connection. Jobs we can quit, houses we can sell, cities we can move away from, but it is our most intimate relationships that penetrate our hearts, our souls, and our minds like nothing else in this world. ~ Shannon Tanner
Meaningful Living quotes by Shannon Tanner
Good and bad stuff happens to us every day. It's how you handle it, and what you do about it, that counts. You can't just let it break you. You have to keep fighting. And guilt and regrets get us nowhere. ~ Danielle Steel
Meaningful Living quotes by Danielle Steel
If you want a meaningful life for yourself don't ask "What can the world offer to me?" but "What can I offer to the world? ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Meaningful Living quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
Our times and our thoughts shape us. The world is in a constant and ceaseless state of motion and transformation. The only constant is that the universe we occupy today will undergo change based in part because of our personal actions and omissions and partially because the random volitions of the world's flux are impervious to our meager intentions. We are more reactors than we are enactors of our daily shape testing experiences. Necessity demands that we interpret our physical environment and assign meaning to the mandala of experiences that resonate with our emotional cordage. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Meaningful Living quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
A person must claim the meaning behind his or her existence. How we live is our final testament to what we believed in and our journey through the corridor of time determines our decisive character. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Meaningful Living quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
What gives a person's brief time on this planet meaning is engaging in small acts of kindness. Bestowing an act of kindness upon other people is the greatest gift that a person will ever give to other people and such acts shall renew the gifting person. When we unreservedly accept and love our brethren, we become the ineluctable wind that vivifies the lives of other people. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Meaningful Living quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
..."living in oneness with Buddha's teaching, is a creative life in which everything becomes meaningful. ~ Gyomay M. Kubose
Meaningful Living quotes by Gyomay M. Kubose
Will Rogers became the biggest, most popular, and highest-paid star of every existing media of his time. The biggest star America ever produced. What is even more remarkable, the things he said and wrote remain as relevant and meaningful today as they did 60 and 70 years ago. ~ Tommy Tune
Meaningful Living quotes by Tommy Tune
Life, my dear Mamselle, can't be reckoned up correctly without cooking the accounts a bit, and our mistake lies in this: that when we grapple with great things, we never take the human coefficient into consideration. All the confusion comes from that...Don't be upset by the coefficient, Mamselle. It contains all the savor and glamor of life. Otherwise every lout would just drink up life to the dregs, and then put a bullet into his brain...Because then his brain would ask for something beyond life...No matter what happens, keep on living, Mamselle. A living human being is, after all, Nature's most beautiful creation. ~ Leonid Leonov
Meaningful Living quotes by Leonid Leonov
Pumpkin pie is a living symbol of mediocrity. The best pumpkin pie you ever ate wasn't all that much different from the worst pumpkin pie you ever ate. ~ Garrison Keillor
Meaningful Living quotes by Garrison Keillor
And when I found your flesh did not resist,
It was the living spirit that I kissed. ~ Yvor Winters
Meaningful Living quotes by Yvor Winters
I was really into artwork in high school and my art teacher made it clear to me that it's not really a career. She insisted that if I wanted to make a living this way, I would have to find a career that might actually reward me for the artwork. ~ Jack Larson
Meaningful Living quotes by Jack Larson
It's only when we acknowledge God as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that we can receive His love for us. ~ Stormie O'martian
Meaningful Living quotes by Stormie O'martian
And it really can crunch. There is a constant danger of injuries from overwork. Close to performance time, a walk through the hallways near the pit can sometimes seem like a visit to a living catalog of alternative medicines: heat before playing, ice after playing, stretches against walls and doors, tai chi, the Feldenkrais Method, the Alexander Technique - all the major and minor bodywork systems have been used by colleagues at one time or another to make playing easier and more informed. Another way to make playing ~ Tom Heimberg
Meaningful Living quotes by Tom Heimberg
Comfort kills! If your goal in life is to be comfortable, I guarantee two things. First, you will never be rich. Second, you will never be happy. Happiness doesn't come from living a lukewarm life, always wondering what could have been. Happiness comes as a result of being in our natural state of growth and living up to our fullest potential. ~ T. Harv Eker
Meaningful Living quotes by T. Harv Eker
Most people look at their current state of affairs and they say, "This is who I am." That's not who you are. That's who you were. Let's say for instance that you don't have enough money in your bank account, or you don't have the relationship that you want, or your health and fitness aren't up to par. That's not who you are; that's the residual outcome of your past thoughts and actions. So we're constantly living in this residual, if you will, of the thoughts and actions we've taken in the past. When you look at your current state of affairs and define yourself by that, then you doom yourself to have nothing more than the same in future. ~ Rhonda Byrne
Meaningful Living quotes by Rhonda Byrne
Learn, only to live. Live, only to learn. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Meaningful Living quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Sometimes, when you're feeling you're lowest, the real you is summoned~And you understand, maybe for the first time ever, how grand you are, because you discover that vulnerable doesn't mean powerless, scared doesn't mean lacking in beauty, and uncertainty doesn't mean that you're lost~These realizations alone will set you on a journey that you will take you far beyond what you used to think of as extraordinary.~There is always a bright side, The Universe ~ Mike Dooley
Meaningful Living quotes by Mike Dooley
Later, when Ged thought back upon that night, he knew that had none had touched him when he lay thus spirit-lost, had none called him back in some way, he might have been lost for good. It was only the dumb instinctive wisdom of the beast who licks his hurt companion to comfort him, and yet in that wisdom Ged saw something akin to his own power, something that went as deep as wizardry. From that time forth he believed that the wise man is one who never sets himself apart from other living things, whether they have speech or not, and in later years he strove long to learn what can be learned, in silence, from the eyes of animals, the flight of birds, the greet slow gestures of trees. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Meaningful Living quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
You get one chance.
You get to do this thing one time and you don't even know when it goes from swirling forward and around and around in circles to just a plain cold stop and nothing more. Can you believe it? All this time I've spent weighing this and weighing that, worrying about this and worrying about that, living back then and living forward, caring about what so-and-so thinks and about so-and-so, too, but never living here, here, this moment here. Never even acknowledging that this moment even exists, and it hits me, like a live volt through the chest.
This moment here.
This is all you get.
Before you are part of the sky ~ Andrea Portes
Meaningful Living quotes by Andrea Portes
One could start just by taking a few minutes out of every day to sit quietly and do nothing, letting what moves one rise to the surface. One could take a few days out of every season to go on retreat or enjoy a long walk in the wilderness, recalling what lies deeper than the moment or the self. One could even, as Cohen was doing, try to find a life in which stage sets and performances disappear and one is reminded, at a level deeper than all words, how making a living and making a life sometimes point in opposite directions. The ~ Pico Iyer
Meaningful Living quotes by Pico Iyer
Well we've left behind the 200X's, and we move onto the 20XX's. Maybe that will finally make us feel like we're living in the future, rather than a media controlled slave state where an iPhone is worth substantially more than a human life. Happy new year. ~ Yahtzee Croshaw
Meaningful Living quotes by Yahtzee Croshaw
I had been a ballet dancer and never could make a living, and just being so excited that I got to, all of a sudden, live as an actor. ~ Lea Thompson
Meaningful Living quotes by Lea Thompson
Every year white people add 100 years to how long ago slavery was. I've heard educated white people say, 'slavery was 400 years ago.' No it very wasn't. It was 140 years ago ... that's two 70-year-old ladies living and dying back to back. That's how recently you could buy a guy. ~ Louis C.K.
Meaningful Living quotes by Louis C.K.
Then I realize we can't feel guilty. We should be thankful we're standing here, together, because life doesn't always give you a happy ending. But it has this time - for us - and if we allowed our guilt and sorrow to dictate our lives, there'd be no point in living. People would never heal, life would never move forward, and our stories would never be told. ~ Ashley Drew
Meaningful Living quotes by Ashley Drew
To live and let live, without clamor for distinction or recognition; to wait on divine love; to write truth first on the tablet of one's own heart - this is the sanity and perfection of living, and my human ideal. ~ Mary Baker Eddy
Meaningful Living quotes by Mary Baker Eddy
I'm fortunate enough to be living my dreams and a lot of other peoples' dreams. ~ Wale
Meaningful Living quotes by Wale
I'd never blame anyone else who falls for the same brand of seduction. I embrace that we're all similarly flawed. That makes the self-inflicted wounds hurt less. I'd read Tennessee Williams. I just didn't expect to be living my own tainted little version of Suddenly Last Summer. ~ Dan Skinner
Meaningful Living quotes by Dan Skinner
Chances are, when you were young, you were told, in effect, "Listen, kid, here is the news: life is not about you. Life is not about what you want. What you want is not important. Life is about doing what others expect of you." If you accepted this idea, later on you wondered what had happened to your fire. Where had your enthusiasm for living gone? ~ Nathaniel Branden
Meaningful Living quotes by Nathaniel Branden
A person only experiences the fathomlessly beautiful and mysterious particulars that constitute reality by giving up the distorting spectacles of our egotistical appetites and repulsive pretensions, shedding artificial attachments, living without grand illusions, and free of deceptive delusions. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Meaningful Living quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Living in sterile man-made environments that are disconnected from nature should be expected to lead to sickness. ~ Steven Magee
Meaningful Living quotes by Steven Magee
In life you get the choice, it depends on what you choose and how you live with the consequences to whether you win or lose! ~ Adam Johnston
Meaningful Living quotes by Adam Johnston
The object of living is work, experience, happiness. ~ Henry Ford
Meaningful Living quotes by Henry Ford
I think I've found a purpose in acting; it's something I truly love and truly enjoy. It makes me happy. It makes me understand more about life, in front of the camera, than what I'm living beyond the camera. ~ Ranbir Kapoor
Meaningful Living quotes by Ranbir Kapoor
Kierkegaard gives us some portrait sketches of the styles of denying possibility, or the lies of character-which is the same thing. He is intent on describing what we today call "inauthentic" men, men who avoid developing their own uniqueness; they follow out the styles of automatic and uncritical living in which they were conditioned as children. They are "inauthentic" in that they do not belong to themselves, are not "their own" person, do not act from their own center, do not see reality on its terms; they are the one-dimensional men totally immersed in the fictional games being played in their society, unable to transcend their social conditioning: the corporation men in the West, the bureaucrats in the East, the tribal men locked up in tradition-man everywhere who doesn't understand what it means to think for himself and who, if he did, would shrink back at the idea of such audacity and exposure. ~ Ernest Becker
Meaningful Living quotes by Ernest Becker
I believe in using words, not fists. I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food. I believe in sex. ~ Bertrand Russell
Meaningful Living quotes by Bertrand Russell
The thing that always attracted me to New York was the sense of being in a place where a lot of people had a lot of stories not unlike mine. Everybody comes from somewhere else. Everyone's got a Polish grandmother, some kind of metamorphosis in their family circumstances. That's a very big thing - the experience of not living where you started. ~ Salman Rushdie
Meaningful Living quotes by Salman Rushdie
The living ideas of the dead are more powerful and effective than the dead ideas of the living. ~ Serj Tankian
Meaningful Living quotes by Serj Tankian
Decision time. It's too dark for you to see your surroundings. So I'll describe. You choose." He pulled the pins out of her hair, tunneling his fingers through it as it tumbled to her shoulders. "The fireplace is across the hall. There's a shag rug in front of it. The living room's to our right. It has a wide, cushy sectional sofa. The den's to our left. It has a leather recliner that tilts way, way back. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms. The guest room's got a queen-size bed and a huge area rug. The master's got a king-size bed and extra pillows. What's your pleasure?"

"Where are the condoms?"

"In the master."

"Sold. ~ Andrea Kane
Meaningful Living quotes by Andrea Kane
You girls ... reminded us ... of us ...
... kids just trying ... to make a living ...
are always ... the good guys ... ~ Brian K. Vaughan
Meaningful Living quotes by Brian K. Vaughan
Emotions invariably push you to take suboptimal decisions; One has to rise way above emotions in order to achieve something meaningful in life. ~ Sandeep Sahajpal
Meaningful Living quotes by Sandeep Sahajpal
The living, he thought, should never be used to serve the purposes of the dead. But the dead
he glanced at Bruce, the empty shape beside him
should, if possible, serve the purposes of the living. That, he reasoned, is the law of life. And the dead, if they could feel, might feel better doing so. The dead, Mike thought, who can still see, even if they can't understand: they are our camera. ~ Philip K. Dick
Meaningful Living quotes by Philip K. Dick
Contemplate to see that awakened people, while not being enslaved by the work of serving living beings, never abandon their work of serving living beings. ~ Nhat Hanh
Meaningful Living quotes by Nhat Hanh
Gangsta to us didn't have anything to do with Al Capone and stuff like that. It's just about living your life the way you want to live it. And you're not going to let nothing stop you. ~ Ice Cube
Meaningful Living quotes by Ice Cube
He says you kill ghosts for a living. Like you're a ghostbuster or something." "I'm not a ghostbuster. ~ Kendare Blake
Meaningful Living quotes by Kendare Blake
How is the human race going to survive now that the cost of living has gone up two dollars a quart? ~ W.C. Fields
Meaningful Living quotes by W.C. Fields
One must learn to live with the living before one can learn to live with the dead. ~ Irvin D. Yalom
Meaningful Living quotes by Irvin D. Yalom
Although I know of no reference to Christ ever commenting on scientific work, I do know that He said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Thus I am certain that, were He among us today, Christ would encourage scientific research as modern man's most noble striving to comprehend and admire His Father's handiwork. The universe as revealed through scientific inquiry is the living witness that God has indeed been at work. ~ Wernher Von Braun
Meaningful Living quotes by Wernher Von Braun
It's very unlikely that a writer is going to make a living by writing. So then the question is: how do you balance work, life, and writing? If you find out, please tell me. ~ Kelly Link
Meaningful Living quotes by Kelly Link
It's not living alone if you keep a rifle under the bed. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
