So I'm curious to know, what is one quote you love or just know by heart. One that stuck with you or even inspired you, share them below, and if you want, share why or how it inspired you or changed you! One I liked a lot was: “Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.” ― Eckhart Tolle
"Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. But I rather believe than time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment because they'll never come again. What we leave behind is not as important how we lived. After all, Number One, we're only mortal." Good old star trek.
"I have noticed that even people who claim that everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, still look before they cross the road." - Stephen Hawking On a less serious note... Spoiler This is so true.
"Astronomers got tired after watching the moon go around the earth for 24 hours so they decided to call it a day." -- My Astronomy Teacher Spoiler Actually found the exact joke he made on tumblr accompanied by that more-than-fitting .gif, at least I know where he got it. Them sidereal days.
Really though, it's a bit long. Spoiler "But the most important count I do has nothing to do with work. It's the number of days since April 4, 1999. As of this morning, that's 5,185. The bigger that number gets, the more it frightens me, because I know all it takes is one drink to go back to zero. Most people see fear as a weakness. It can be. Sometimes for my job, I have to put fear in other people. I know that's not right. But if I'm honest, like the fourth step asks us to be, I have to be ruthless, because failure is not an option. The same goes for my sobriety. I have to be ruthless with myself. I have to use my fear. It makes me stronger. Like everyone in this room, I can't control who I am. But I can control the zero. F*** the zero." - Doug Stamper, House of Cards.
