September is self-awareness month. Below are wonderful bits of wisdom to get us thinking.
Thirty days has September, a quote a day in which to remember!
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Albert Einstein
If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Enlarge your consciousness. If your consciousness is small, you will experience smallness in every department of your life.
Robert Pante
Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look there.
Marcus Aurelius
There are three principles in man's being and life, the principle of thought, the principle of speech and the principle of action. The origin of all conflict between me and my fellow men is that I do not say what I mean, and that I do not mean what I say.
Martin Buber
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have no goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in a striving toward an important goal. - Maxwell Maltz
When you're different, sometimes you don't see the millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the person who doesn't.
Jodi Picoult
Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
C.G. Jung
We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like Tolstoy's fabled beggar who spent his life sitting on a pot of gold, under him the whole time. Your treasure--your perfection--is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the buy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.”
Fred Rogers
Until you make peace with who your are ... you'll never be content with what you have. - Doris Mortman
Actions have consequences...first rule of life. And the second rule is this: You are the only one responsible for your own actions. - Holly Lisle
A human being is like a computer that is capable of thousands of things. But we put in a card that only lets it do one thing. Until you change the card, that is all the computer will do: that one thing, over and over and over. That is the state in which we function and we believe that no other cards exist, that this card is the one and only card that we can function upon. I say that the difference between human beings and machines is that we make the cards. So, when one card doesn´t work, take it out and put in a new card.
Moshe Feldenkrais
Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-actualizing people enjoy life more – not that they don´t have pain, sorrow and troubles, just that they get more out of life. They appreciate it more; they have more interests; they are more aware of beauty in the world. They have less fear and anxiety and more confidence and relaxation.
Abraham H Maslow
There is no satisfaction that can compare with looking back across the years and finding you've grown in self-control, judgment, generosity, and unselfishness. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The way life treats you is a merciless mirror image of your attitude toward life. - Anonymous.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never think you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. People will take you very much at your own reckoning. - Anthony Trollope
Never try to do anything that is outside of who you are. A forced smile is a sign of what feels wrong in your heart, so recognize it when it happens. Living a lie will reduce you to one.”
Ashly Lorenzana
I think that's the real loss of innocence: the first time you glimpse the boundaries that will limit your potential.
Steve Toltz
To know a species, look at its fears. To know yourself, look at your fears. Fear in itself is not important, but fear stands there and points you in the direction of things that are important. Don't be afraid of your fears, they're not there to scare you; they're there to let you know that something is worth it.

We judge others instantly by their clothes, their cars, their appearance, their race, their education, their social status. The list is endless. What gets me is that most people decide who another person is before they have even spoken to them. What's even worse is that these same people decide who someone else is, and don't even know who they are themselves.
Ashly Lorenzana
What you seem to be, be really.
I do not believe in taking the right decision, I take a decision and make it right.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
You can live a lifetime and at the end of it, know more about other people than you know about yourself.
Beryl Markham
With better awareness you can make better choices and when you make better choices, you will see better results.
Robin Sharma
Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.
Moshe Feldenkrais
The person in life that you will always be with the most, is yourself. Because even when you are with others, you are still with yourself, too! When you wake up in the morning, you are with yourself, laying in bed at night you are with yourself, walking down the street in the sunlight you are with yourself.What kind of person do you want to walk down the street with? What kind of person do you want to wake up in the morning with? What kind of person do you want to see at the end of the day before you fall asleep? Because that person is yourself, and it's your responsibility to be that person you want to be with. I know I want to spend my life with a person who knows how to let things go, who's not full of hate, who's able to smile and be carefree. So that's who I have to be.”
