“Wherever you are, be there totally.”
-Eckhart Tolle
In this day and age, there’s a myriad of articles, tips, advice to focus on our mental state of mind in order to have more control, if not completely conquer. I myself have written countless posts on this topic for this site as well.
“Life is never white and black and all or nothing; it is full of greys and the rainbows and all the other in-betweens.”
-McKel (Hill) Kooienga
As I type this, it’s been a few
hours since President Joe Biden was officially sworn in.
At the stage our country (and quite frankly, the world as well) is in, there have been polarizing views everywhere. It seems as if everyone has lost the ability to envision a middle ground.
“Tied to apron strings, dreams forget to fly!”
-Orion
The noblest thoughts we can have is wanting to help someone, especially when we’re personally not gaining anything from it. Help is what takes humanity forward. Help is what keeps everyone going as we all need it at many stages of our lives.
“Faith is taking the first step when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
-Martin Luther King Jr.
Is faith a term that can only be used in the context of religion? Can you have faith without being religious?
“Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”
-Betty Friedan
We all dread it at some point. We try our best to stall it and when we can’t, we’d all like to pretend it’s not there by covering it up in any way possible.

“There’s a thin line between confidence and arrogance. It’s called humility. Confidence smiles. Arrogance smirks.”
-Unknown
In all my articles for this site, I have always sited confidence as a key factor to get ahead in any endeavor. If you don’t believe in yourself, than nobody else will either.
But as today’s quote says, there’s a thin line between confidence and arrogance. Once you cross that line, that path that you’re on becomes much more dangerous to tread on with a lot more one-way streets.
“What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future.”
-Agnes M. Pahro
A very Merry Christmas to all members of Daily Wisdom Words!
As you celebrate the holidays, don’t forget to celebrate YOURSELF.
-Neel Trivedi
As I write this, Christmas is just a few days away. All around my neighborhood and nearby grocery stores, I see some of the brightest and beautiful lights. And that’s certainly a great feeling.
“There is no failure except in no longer trying.”
-Elbert Hubbard
Imagine this scenario: You’re working on a specific project or endeavor and nothing seems to be going right. Every plan, no matter how analytical when conceived, falls apart. You try and try and try and there’s no hope in sight. In short, you feel you have no option left but to give up.
“Carpe Diem”
-Horace
For centuries now, we’ve all heard the term “carpe diem.” But is that enough to live life to the fullest in the 21st century?
The term first originated in Roman poet Horace’s poetry collection, The Odes sometime in 23 BC. In context, the full line in which it appeared has been translated as “Seize the day; trust tomorrow e’en as little as you may.”
