hmm...


I started these 'hmm...' posts many moons back
I believe Sundays a fitting day to ponder the wise words of others 
or just simply words of others that create curiosity, that seem meaningful to me and worth sharing
empowering random thoughts that inspire a hmm... moment

I have only just begun to have a growing interest in quotes but so far as I know many of my favorites are from Ralph Waldo Emerson and here are two more

“What you are comes to you”

“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”

interestingly and rather coincidentally I am discovering more of Emerson's leadership in the Transcendentalist movement and in individualism both of which I have only just peeled the seal
I say coincidental because I seem naturally drawn to his words when I find them before even knowing what he was about and lately more than ever I find myself expressing the importance of embracing our individuality and the freedom to create ourselves. to successfully divert the pressures of mainstream society and make our own paths.

>>> may you find the courage to be who you are and follow that course with confidence <<<
showing our children, the next generation, that it is in fact possible
