Today’s quotes focus on the subject of stillness, something that so many of us in the world often struggle with, as it makes us face the very thing we continue to avoid when we don’t ever remain still and that is ourselves…

“In an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still.” (Pico Iyer)

“Within you, there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.” (Hermann Hessse)

“If you seek peace, be still. If you need wisdom, be still. If you need love, be still.” (Becca Lee)

“There is nothing as certain as silence, stillness, and solitude to introduce you to the secrets of yourself.” (Guy Finley)

“Stillness is not about focusing on nothingness; it’s about creating an emotional clearing to allow ourselves to feel, think, dream, and question.” (Brene Brown)

Today’s quotes surround yesterday’s Daily Reflection that discussed how the path of your life can change in an instant…by even the simplest of things…

“Some people cross your path and change your whole direction.” (Anonymous)

“Sometimes it’s the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.” (Keri Russell)

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them, that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” (Lao Tzu)

Today’s quotes surround the subject of what makes a good teacher, something I often find myself having to learn more and more about as I delve deeper into being one…

“The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily, but how many questions he inspires them to ask him which he finds it hard to answer.” (Alice Wellington Rollins)

“So often you find that the student’s you’re trying to inspire are the ones that end up inspiring you.” (Sean Junkins)

“The fact that you worry about being a good teacher, means that you already are one.” (Jodi Picoult)

“Students become good learners when they are in the classes of teachers who are good learners.” (Andy Hargreaves)
