The Wisdom of John Lennon
If he’d lived, he’d be 79 this month. His words still inspire.
All you need is love.
I know you heard the song as you read this. I make this the first quote on the list because it is true. If you love, then you receive love and “Love is all there is…” Those you love will be there for you to help you through any problems.
We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
And your life will change for the better and you gain a friend and it may change their life.
What we’ve got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we’ll sink.
If there is no Hope, then all we see ahead of us is a dark abyss and there is no reason to move forward.
If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create.
Doubting yourself and doubting your abilities prevent you from moving forward, no matter what you’re doing.
Happiness is inside you not with another person.
Never want someone else to “make” you happy. If that person leaves, so does your happiness.
Peace is not something you wish for; It’s something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away.
