Recently I have found that the practice of meditation has set into motion a drastic shift in my perception of self. I’ve been realizing how much joy is to be had in the present moment and how little my desires actually need to determine my state of mind. That being said, I often have days where I get caught in the perpetual mind trap of questioning who I am and what my place in this world is. One very helpful tool for me has been pondering simple yet profound thoughts that originated from someone other than myself. Below I have included twenty of my favorite quotes, or nuggets of wisdom, that have helped me see life through a truer lens.

Warning: while these take less than a minute to read, they may take a lifetime to realize.
