Storytelling

“The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.”

“We shall not be happy unless we live like good animals, unless we enjoy the exercise of the ordinary functions of life: eating, sleeping, loving, walking, running, swimming, riding, sailing.”

William Morris

 

Teaching

“I am a teacher. It’s how I define myself. A good teacher isn’t someone who gives the answers out to their kids but is understanding of needs and challenges and gives tools to help other people succeed. That’s the way I see myself, so whatever it is that I will do eventually after politics, it’ll have to do a lot with teaching.”

Justin Trudeau

“I do it as a therapy. I do it as something to keep me alive. We all need a little discipline. Exercise is my discipline.”

Jack LaLanne

 

Storytelling

“It’s like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.” 

― Patrick Rothfuss

Wisdom

“Intelligence alone does not get us where we need to go or even necessarily where we want to go. For that, the human creature must exercise harder-won capacities of wisdom, and wise action.”

Krista Tippett

“Yes, exercise is the catalyst. That’s what makes everything happen: your digestion, your elimination, your sex life, your skin, hair, everything about you depends on circulation. And how do you increase circulation?”

Jack LaLanne

 

Storytelling

“You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone’s soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift.” 

― Erin Morgenstern

“Read a thousand books, and your words will flow like a river.”

Wisdom

“If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” 

― Rudyard Kipling
