“Imagine waking and going for a run, as if running were all you do. Nothing else is on your mind but the run, and you do it to the very best of your abilities. Then you eat, enjoying every flavorful bite of your fresh breakfast of whole, unprocessed foods. You read a novel, as if nothing else in the world existed. You do your work, one task at a time, each task done with full focus and dedication. You spend time with loved ones, as if nothing else existed.”
— excerpt from this inspiring piece at The Daily Brainstorm, by Leo Babauta of zenhabits.net
“The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson
“Sometimes, if your life doesn’t seem significant enough, it’s not your life that isn’t significant enough … it’s your response to your life.”
