Values and Ideals that Inspire
"When you work only for yourself, or for your own personal
gain, your mind will seldom rise above the limitations of an
undeveloped personal life. But when you are inspired by some
great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts
break your bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your
consciousness expands in every direction, and find yourself in a
new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and
talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater
person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."
Patanjali,
2nd century bc
Liberty, Freedom, Love, Justice, Truth, Etc.

An ideal such as Justice, Freedom, Liberty, Love, etc can
inspire. This painting does a good job of conveying the inspiration of the
ideal.
Far away in the sunshine are my highest
inspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty,
believe in them and try to follow where they lead. - Louisa May Alcott |
