• Most of us do not “sculpt” our lives. We accept what comes our way…then we gripe about it.

  ~ Susan Jeffers quotes from Feel the Fear…And Do It Anyway

  Self-Development Quotes on: Fear, Live, Accept, Feel

• We can’t become anything we want to be. We come into this world with a specific, personal destiny. We have a job to do, a calling to enact, a self to become. We are who are from the cradle, and we’re stuck with it. Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it. If we are born to paint, it’s our job to become a painter. If we are born to raise and nurture children, it’s our job to become a mother. If we were born to overthrow the order of ignorance and injustice in the world, it’s our job to realize it and get down to business.

  ~ Steven Pressfield quotes
