Every other Wednesday I’ll focus on a prolific someone special and post their quotes for you to take in and smile at.
This week’s Wednesday quotes-Five of the best quotes from an all time favorite poet Nikki Giovanni who’s book, Racism 101 help put my purpose on the map Now when you read each quote, take it in, sip some hot tea and reflect on how it correlates with your own life experiences-Enjoy.
“I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try.”
“Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts.”
“There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your live those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.”
A lot of people refuse to do things because they don't want to go naked, don't want to go without guarantee. But that's what's got to happen. You go naked until you die.
Some say we are responsible for those we love. Others know we are responsible for those who love us.
