A favorite, inspirational author of mine is Richard Bach and below is a collection of some of his writings. These come from a book called, "The Reluctant Messiah" which is a fictional work, focusing on what could happen if a "guru", a Master came to earth but decided not to teach others, leaving them to find out for themselves. It is a good read and I heartily reccomend it to everyone.    

In the meantime, I thought I would share some of his wisdom with you....

Learning is finding out what we already know
Doing is demonstrating that we know it
Teaching is remniding others that they know just as well as you
We are all Learners, Doers, Teachers

The simplest questions are the most profound:
Where were you born?
Where is your home?
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change

You teach best what you mist need to learn

Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years

You are led through your life by the inner learning creature, that playful Spiritual being that is your Real Self.

Don't turn away from possible futures before you are certain you have nothing to learn from them

You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

The bond that links yout true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each others lives; Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.

A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed; It simply feels an impulsion to go, now; But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds , and you will too, when you raise yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.

The world is your exercise book, the pages on which you do your sums. It is not reality alhough you can express reality there if you wish. You are also free to write nonsense or lies, or to tear the pages if you wish. 

Practice being fictional for a while and you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats.

Here is a test to see whether your mission on earth is finished; If your alive, it isnt.

Don't be dismayed at Goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before we can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends. 



Hope you all enjoy! :)
