A little dose of inspiration for the day

Sometimes I use quotes as my desktop background. This is one I used during junior year. I just felt like sharing it today - it's a good one!

Oh, and also another quote has been in my head all morning, so I'm sharing that, too. Not sure if I've posted it before or not....actually, I'm pretty sure I've referenced this quote before, but I found it in its poem format, and I like it better, so there.

Always We Hope
~ Lao Tzu

Always we hope
someone else has the answer,
some other place will be better,
some other time,
it will turn out.

This is it.

No one else has the answer,
no other place will be better,
and it has already turned out.

At the center of your being,
you have the answer:
you know who you are and
you know what you want.

There is no need to run outside
for better seeing,
nor to peer from a window.
Rather abide at the center of your being:
for the more you leave it,
the less you learn.

Search your heart and see
the way to do is to be.
