I’ve been making a concerted effort to be more conscious of the quotes and pearls of wisdom I read lately. I’ve been trying to really read and understand them…to let them sink in to my psyche. For too long, I would read wise words and appreciate them, but I wasn’t learning from them. I needed to change that.
The fact I wasn’t learning from them was my own fault. I was failing to take them in and really feel and understand the words so that they made me a better person.
In my effort to become a better person, I’ve found some amazing quotes/pearls of wisdom this week that I’ve read many times over so that their deeper meaning sinks in and becomes a part of my conscious thinking.
Consider these wonderfully inspiring words and try reading them many times over — let them sink in and gain a good understanding of what they mean.
