This Kahlil Gibran quote is one of my all time favorite quotes. I hope you will take a moment to consider his words. What does wisdom mean to you? What is your philosophy of life? What place does humility play in your words and actions? 
“I cut my teeth on Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet. Even at a very young age there was a sense of truth in his words that resonated with my soul. All these years later, I feel the same way. The simple, yet profound words he used continues to reach thousands upon thousands of hearts and souls in a way all the complex gobble-dy gook of religious tombs has never been able to do.
There is a reason for this. Truth is simple. Truth is understandable even to the simplest of minds. Truth stands the test of time. Truth bears its soul in the eyes of children. Do not be fooled by a culture that wants to lay a blanket of confusion over you. Throw it off. Stand beside societal norms. Stand in the truth. Stand in your truth.” ~ Dorothy Sander (Original post, May 8, 2012 )
QUOTES TO POINT US TO OUR NORTH STAR
Hearing or reading just the right words, at just the right time, lifts us up, offering guidance and understanding when faced with a challenge. Recent years have test all of us, and we are in need of sustenance and guidance. I love quotes precisely because they have the power to call me back to my deepest values. They carry the wisdom and insight to help reset my focus on my most potent desires. As a result, when we tune into this call we are brought back to the path that we were born to travel, our soul path, our “north star”.
A quote can be a silent prayer, a recognition of truth, a guidepost. Therefore, I invite you to download a copy of my book of quotes, or buy a paperback copy and keep it on your nightstand. On sleepless nights, or first thing in the morning, it will be there for you to jump start your dreams or your day. Many nights, before turning off the light, I pick up the book and take a quote with me into my dreams. I always wake up with either a different point of view or a deeper understanding of myself. Words are a powerful instrument of peace.
You will find this Kahlil Gibran Quote and more in my book of quotes. Do you have a favorite quote that you call to mind when you are facing a challenge?
