Meaningful Life Quotes

“The greatest challenge in life is to be our own person and accept that being different is a blessing and not a curse.

A person must be selective with their time and energy because both elements of life are limited.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“The single most important human insight to be gained from this way of comparing societies is perhaps the realization that everything could have been different in our own society – that the way we live is only one among innumerable ways of life which humans have adopted. If we glance sideways and backwards, we will quickly discover that modern society, with its many possibilities and seducing offers, its dizzying complexity and its impressive technological advances, is a way of life which has not been tried out for long. Perhaps, psychologically speaking, we have just left the cave: in terms of the history of our species, we have but spent a moment in modern societies. (..) Anthropology may not provide the answer to the question of the meaning of life, but at least it can tell us that there are many ways in which to make a life meaningful.”
― Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Small Places, Large Issues: An Introduction to Social and Cultural Anthropology

“For anyone who says we’re culturally and technologically advanced beings not held in thrall by our environment consider how we start each year afresh simply because the rotation of the Earth around the sun takes precisely 365 days and we run our lives by the hour because the planet takes 24 hours to complete a rotation around its central axis.”
― David Amerland, Intentional: How To Live, Love, Work and Play Meaningfully

“[eroticism is] quality of aliveness, of vibrancy, of vitality, a life force" that's just as relevant to your work life as it is to your love life. Bringing eroticism into all areas of human existence is at the heart of her work. And because virtually everyone lives in a matrix of personal, professional, and transactional relationships, the erotic charge of those relationships is integrally tied to the pursuit of a meaningful life.”
― Esther Perel

“The nature of commitment: you can never know in advance whether you will achieve your goals; all you can do is keep moving forward in a meaningful direction. The future is not in your control.
What is in your control is your ability to continue your journey, step by step, learning and growing as you progress — and getting back on track whenever you wander.”
― Russ Harris, The Happiness Trap: Stop Struggling, Start Living (2nd Edition)

― Alex Pattakos, Prisoners of Our Thoughts: Viktor Frankl's Principles for Discovering Meaning in Life and Work

“The cumulative, profound loss that we have collectively experienced would cause any sentient being to become depressed, anxious, and isolated. Yet, instead of rejecting this paradigm to make time for the things that connect us to each other and fill our lives with significance, inertia often wins. It is simply too easy to opt for handy, addictive, second-rate experiences that leave us feeling hollow and hopeless. We are like children with a comforting, nourishing meal within our grasp, yet we gorge ourselves on the candy pile dumped directly in front of us, even as our souls feel increasing nausea with each bite. The saccharine stupor disorients us, so we can no longer even intuit what we need. We just know we feel adrift, with a voracious hunger for something that we cannot name.”
― Kate Kretz, Art from Your Core: A Holistic Guide to Visual Voice

“A life of death is the death of life. We do not know what comes after death, but in the context of life, we do know that when we die, our loved ones will miss us, and we can never be brought back to life ever again.”

What makes a person dynamically alive is their life's purpose aligned to their highest, best self-potential.”
― Master Del Pe, Higher Science of Longevity
