Knowing something intellectually vs. knowing it emotionally

"There is a difference between knowing something intellectually and knowing it emotionally; knowing it in a way that echoes on a deep core level. Sometimes the most obvious truths are some of the most difficult to assimilate...and until we learn them, they will keep popping up in our lives." -Gala Darling

Serenity that will fuel you in a whole new way

"Too often we fuel our lives with activities, tasks, or busyness to avoid feeling bored.  Years of focusing our attention 'out there' makes it difficult to take the time and space to look inward and spend time reflecting on our lives.  Often what lies beneath the feelings of boredom is fear of the unknown, of facing unmet dreams, or a desire to remain detached from the feelings we've suppressed for years.  But with practice, you'll discover that learning to sit with the feelings of boredom that quickly give way to a deeper reflection of your life eventually leads to a sense of peace and serenity that will fuel you in a whole new way."
-Cheryl Richardson

Every relationship, no matter how brief, contains a priceless lesson

-Marie Forleo (total BAMF...I'm kind of obsessed with this woman)

If it's true, you'll feel it

"If it looks good, you'll see it.  If it sounds good, you'll hear it.  If it's marketed right, you'll buy it.  But if it's true, you'll feel it"

-Kid Rock
