More Quotes by Mitch Albom
If you hold back on the emotions--if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them--you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your heard even, you experience them fully and completely.
You know what really offers you satisfaction? Offering others what you have to give.
What you have done to this point cannot be undone. What you do next... It is still unwritten.
Desire sets our compass, but real life steers our course.
We all yearn for what we have lost. But sometimes, we forget what we have.
Accept who you are; and revel in it.
There are two stories for every life; the one you live & the one others tell
Anger is a poison. It eats us inside. We think when we hate someone we hurt them, but hatred is a curved blade, and the harm we do to others we also do to ourselves.
You can feel the whole world and still feel lost in it. So many people are in pain-- no matter how smart or accomplished--they cry, they yearn, they hurt. But instead of looking down on things, they look up, which is where I should have been looking, too. Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, we all want the same things: comfort, love and a peaceful heart.
Fear is how you lose your life...a little bit at a time...What we give to fear, we take away from...faith.
