What is the best advice you've ever heard?


After my weekly Hatha Yoga (7:30 am - 8:30 am) class at the Hines Center for Spirituality, I saw this grand question in the lobby from the 'pop-up practices ( #popuppractices )' group.  I am glad they posed such a phrase.  Personally, I do not have an immediate answer to this but upon reflection, I returned to the quotes that have helped me the most...


Personal Response #1:  "We must always trust in the difficult, (then what happens now appears to us as the most alien will become our most intimate and trusted experience)." - Rainer Maria Rilke

Brilliant advice!  I rely on this quote when I catch myself amidst a new challenge.  Every time I think of this I smile and am filled with peace.


Personal Response #2:  "Follow to your heart / gut" - unknown

This statement is great because it allows me to return to my 'Self' and act from within first.  I have leaned on this simple quote countless times.  Intuition becomes more noticeable when we reflect for ourselves.


Personal Response #3:  "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

With courage, this quote allows me to live by my morals.  When I find the truth, I cannot turn away from it, and thus we must stop talking and start doing!
