Hope all of you are having a great start to your 2015!  I haven't created an Inspiration Wall in a little while and it seems so appropriate this time of year.  So here's a bit of ingenuity to support us all…

Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thoughts that is forever blowing through one's head.
– Mark Twain

There's another way to live. Accept indeterminacy as a principle, and you see your life in a new light, as a series of seemingly unrelated jewel-like stories within a dazzling setting of change and transformation. Recognize that you don't know where you stand, and you will begin to watch where you put your feet. That's when the path appears.
–  Aldous Huxley

Simplifying our lives does not mean sinking into idleness, but on the contrary, getting rid of the most subtle aspect of laziness: the one which makes us take on thousands of less important activities.
– Matthieu Ricard

It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing much to do with the writing of them. The words have just crawled down my sleeve and come out on the page.
– Joan Baez

If you find yourself in some difficulty, step aside, and allow Buddha to take your place. The Buddha is in you.
– Thich Nhat Hanh

The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose that I am here and you are out there.
– Yasutani Roshi

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
– Dr. Seuss

“I” is a word; it does not think, feel, do anything. Just a word preceding other words. Investigate this until it's clear.
– Ilona Ciunaite

This place where you are right now, God circled on a map for you.
– Hafiz
