I love to read quotes. I love to find quotes that are appropriate for certain times and share them with people. I like to read quotes that are posted on others sites. I like to see just what inspiring words have made the person stop and say "this is really good advice". Tonight was one such night, only better. I had a high school friend named Bill Stone post a quote on my wall that I just loved. I asked him where he got it and he said it was his. He said "This world would be a much better place if people used my 3H Plan. Think with your heart first, then your head and yours hands will do great things." This is soooo true! Thinking with your heart is the true lifeblood of humanity.
There is one thing that sets us as humans apart from every other species on earth - the capability of having feelings and showing emotions. Good or bad, they are part of our genetic makeup. Remember all the times when you have had a 'feeling' about something, but changed your mind at the last minute? You usually end up being right the first time. That's why experts always tell you to go with your "first hunch" about something. Anyway, Bill is right. Follow your heart and everything will work itself out.
I actually thought of a pretty good quote myself a while back. It came to me when I was deep in thought about writing a book. I have often thought about writing a book, but can never seem to get it together enough to start writing. I have lots of ideas written down on paper for book subjects/stories that I would like to write, but starting seems to be the hardest part. I finally told myself "Tee, without a beginning, there will be no end." Then it dawned on me. These words that had so thoughtlessly came to mind applied to life in general. They apply to everything! Just think about that for a moment and you will see I am right.
As a last thought, I heard a good quote tonight at school in my Ecosystems class. The TA had posted on the board the following: "We're all made of sunlight". It was written by a man named Thom Hartmann in a book he wrote called The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight. Perhaps I should read his book. It has to do with the fact that "the earth's energy and its organisms' life forces are fueled by sunlight in some form or another, fossil fuels being ancient sunlight" and what we are going to do when this light burns out. You know me, it all goes back to the same thing - living sustainably.
Not many people can write a good quote. And if you ever have one, whether it be yours or otherwise, post it! Share the wealth and good thoughts with us! There is this quote site where you can post it at http://www.great-quotes.com. I found it a while back and posted mine just for fun. :)
Happy reading!
