Sunday Reflections — Embracing life
This week, Sunday Reflections brings you select quotes on embracing life:
“It’s not complicated to embrace life. You just have to make the choice.” ~ Faith Hill
“The life you want begins by embracing the life you have.” ~ Rob Bell
“I finally figured out that not every crisis can be managed. As much as we want to keep ourselves safe, we can’t protect ourselves from everything. If we want to embrace life, we also have to embrace chaos.” ~ Susan Elizabeth Phillips
“The best thing in life is to go ahead with all your plans and your dreams, to embrace life and to live everyday with passion, to lose and still keep the faith and to win while being grateful. All of this because the world belongs to those who dare to go after what they want. And because life is really too short to be insignificant.” ~ Charlie Chaplin
“What is essential about me? Well, I think what is essential is that I live and embrace life right now, wherever I am. I grab it in my arms! Don’t spend time crying about yesterday-yesterday is over with! I forgive my past. I forgive the people who’ve hurt me. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life blaming and pointing a finger.” ~ Leo Buscaglia
“Life is like a garden. Quite naturally, leaves wither and flowers fade. Only if we clear the decay of the past then and there can we really enjoy the beauty of the new leaves and flowers. Likewise, we must clear the murkiness of the past bad experiences from our minds. Life is remembrance in forgetfulness. Forgive what ought to be forgiven; forget what ought to be forgotten. Let us embrace life with renewed vigor. We should be able to face every moment of life with renewed expectation, like a freshly blossomed flower.” ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
“Just for today, allow yourself to embrace all that you are every moment. Know that you are a vessel of light. Allow yourself to release all doubts about your ability, the mistakes of the past, the fear of the future.” ~ Iyanla Vanzant
“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good.” ~ Roald Dahl
“May there never be a haze over your eyes preventing you from looking at your life just the way you planned it. Through the bumps, twists, and turns in your journey, let it make you wiser. Embrace life’s lessons with gratitude and appreciation and then move forward with an open heart and mind.” ~ Ron Baratono
“Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain… To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices — today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.” ~ Kevyn Aucoin
