“No man is great enough or wise enough for any of us to surrender our destiny to. The only way in which anyone can lead us is to restore to us the belief in our own guidance.” — Henry Miller

I adore this! Just what I needed to start the new week with!
I have to agree- it goes with something I’ve been trying to do for a long time. I must stop looking to others to inspire me, but instead use the passion and power inside myself to inspire and excite me for life. Truly, we must guide and shape our own lives. I am never going to let anyone else control my life. I will let them influence it, but only I am shaping it day by day.
Word!
fantastic. what great words to arm ourselves with at the start of the week! xx
this is EXACTLY what i needed right now. thanks gala! and henry miller!
Thank you for this great quote to remember tomorrow morning as I start what will probably be an otherwise stressful week! You just made it a little bit better!
Yay! I love Miller, he’s so elegant without being verbose. This is definitely one of my favorite Miller quotes, too! I’m just about to swan dive into the mound of homework I’ve got to finish and this is just what I needed to kick my butt into gear! Hooray for Gala!
i cannot seem to be able to comment on your last entry, so i will comment on both.
your blog is your own space on the web. rock on.
secondly, i adore quotes. I adore those that adore them. I have added the Miller to my repertoire. Allow me to leave you with another.
There are admirable potentialities in every human being. Believe in your strength and your youth. Learn to repeat endlessly to yourself, ‘It all depends on me.’ —Andre Gide
So so so so so true. This is something I’ve always believed in as a theory, but recently a radtacular spirit held up a mirror and proved it to me for real. Cheers to the people that remind us how amazing we already are!
i love this thought. thanks for sharing.
Very Insightful! Well Chosen for today.
I love this quote! Inspiring and thought-provoking.
Thanks Henry & THANKS Gala! No matter how much I miss your ‘advice’ & directional posts I still find iCiNG the inspirational place (esp. reading all the fellow nonpareils comments!) that it’s always been … & feel that this ‘elief in my own guidance becomes stronger each time I find something that awakens something in me.

Thank you, Gala, for your constant inspiration and love. You are an absolutely delicious breath of fresh air, and always keep rocking on! I frequent your blog at LEAST every other day, and click all the links! They are so fresh and fun, and like you, I wear my heart on my sleeve and love all of the “nonpareils” on here! Peace, Love and All Things Wonderful!!!

This is something very inspiring to start the week. The only one that can help us throughout is ourselves.
Mmm, this is like a dark chocolate delight for my soul. I am going to use this teaching my yoga class tomorrow. Thanks Ms. Darling!
I really like this saying. It is beautiful and really encouraging.

This is precisely what I keep learning & forgetting lately. Love this new feature Gala!!
Thank you so so very much, Gala! After a pretty cruddy start to the week, this is exactly what I needed…winter blues begone!
Hey Gala,
Just wanted to say that I think that what you do with your blog is absolutely AMAZING!!! This is in regards to the post below where comments are off. Seriously, I“m pretty sure I’ve read through your whole archive (...not just once haha), and your optimism and passion for life is truly inspiring! Your blog is definitely one of my guilty pleasures, and really encourages me to make a conscious effort to acknowledge and celebrate how wonderful my life really is. I’m not one to really open up in the comments section of people’s blogs, but I just thought you should know. (i know you get these comments all the time)
Thank you so much!
