Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to take a tour through time and go deep into the minds of the most influential philosophers of all humanity? If you want to immerse yourself in some words of wisdom from these great thinkers, then keep reading... 'It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it' - Aristotle I have been a deep thinker for as long as I can remember. I would continually question existence, identity, reality, ethics, politics, religion, metaphysics and everything in between. I've always found it fascinating to entertain those thoughts, but for the most part, could never share it with others as it can come off strange and intense to many who are not on the same 'wavelength'. Sound familiar? Realising that not a lot of others might think in the same exploratory way as me, I decided to look elsewhere to see if other thinkers of the past thought or shared similar ideas. Aristotle, Plato, Descartes to name a few; they all shared such a wise and unique way of thinking, with the continuous pursuit to challenge conventional knowledge and thought processes. Many of these philosophers were strong believers that you should always question everything. They believed that for one to become fully realised you must first begin to look inside and reflect on yourself and your thoughts. Do you sometimes find yourself deep in thought, feeling connected to a train of thought and your mind in a way that feels foreign but natural? Do you ever find yourself contemplating reality, the origins of ethics, or if our current social structure is the most efficient to society it can be? Through reading quotes we can travel through time and by practice of evaluation we can start connecting with how these thinkers thought. We can read a quote and resonate with it so deeply to the point it's as if we share the same experience as the quoter. This skill can be developed through this practice and has scientifically proven benefits such as increased critical thinking and information organisation. In Simply Philosophical Quotes you will discover: A swift introduction to the most influential thinkers of all time Their top 3 teachings and ideas 5 fascinating facts you won't have heard before 915 inspiring, thought-provoking quotes that will leave you deep in reflection The importance of evaluating your own thoughts Philosophers include Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, René Descartes, Confucius, Immanuel Kant, The Buddha, John Locke, Epictetus and Friedrich Nietzsche.

It's up to you to evaluate these quotes without external influence. Through reading Simply Philosophical Quotes you can start to dissect and gain a deeper understanding of the minds of ten of the most influential philosophers of all time.

Book excerpt: His earliest memories swirl with vivid, colorful ambitions of a creative life helping others. From his days as a child in Brooklyn, New York, James Alexander Posley McTaggart III has let his imagination guide and inspire him. Now a professional counselor and mentor, he channels those ambitions to the page. In college, he began each day with a writing exercise he called “Morning Pages,” in which he would write until he had filled three pages. This practice inspired a lifelong devotion to daily writing, where he realized his creative mind was motivated by the young child with the command-of-lights imagination within. As an adult, he battles with depression, and in the pages of his journals, he has created his own therapeutic approach to self-healing. In Life, I Don’t Have The Answers, You Do; I Am Still Here, he shares a collection of inspiring and thought-provoking quotes and thoughts designed to inspire readers.

A bold new collection of stream-of-consciousness writings and musings about life, love, faith, hope, healing, and creativity, Life, I Don’t Have T he Answers, You Do: I Am Still Here invites readers to explore their own inner playgrounds for answers.

Download or read book Just Show Up written by Drew Dyck and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If someone puts one more thing on my shoulders, I might collapse. Bestselling self-help book titles tell you that you’re brilliant, awesome, powerful—usually with an expletive thrown in, just to pound home the point. Do these affirmations feel accurate? Instead of blasting through projects and conquering the world, most of us feel like we’re crawling uphill. But Christians are still called to live a life that glorifies God and blesses others. How do we do that when we’re stretched to capacity? Just Show Up answers that question with a liberating message: God doesn’t expect you to do everything. And He certainly doesn’t expect you to do it all overnight. Simply showing up is often the most important thing. This book looks at present-day examples and also stories from Scripture of imperfect people used by God. Moses, by his own admission, wasn’t very eloquent, but he showed up and God used him to liberate and lead His people. We name churches and children after the disciples. But originally, they were just a bunch of uneducated nobodies with one thing in common: when Jesus said, “Follow me,” they showed up. With humor and candor, Dyck reflects on his own faltering progress while recounting inspiring stories of how God rewards the persistent presence of ordinary people. Just Show Up challenges readers to show up for God, family, community, and themselves. We tend to think it’s the big, bold moments that matter. In reality, it’s the steady accumulation of small acts of obedience to God that add up to a life of meaning and impact. –Dyck
