Dear, Holistic Practitioner, Complementary Therapist or Spiritual Entrepreneur

I bring to you 200 plus: vision, life purpose, spiritual, leadership and entrepreneurial quotations as an

expression of my gratitude in advance. I ask you accept this gift and encourage you to book

your F.R.E.E One 2 One15 Minute ‘Vision Breakthrough’ Session by clicking on the link above

in the header.

I created this gift pack as part of my mission, if you are familiar with my work you will know, that my

mission is, to reach a 1000 or more leading holistic practitioners, complementary therapists and

Spiritual Entrepreneurs by the end of 2010. Create alliance partners to make our difference in

the world on a much larger scale.

I did say I had 200 quotes, but truth be known, I added 60 more quotations, over delivering is a good

thing, isn’t it? They are a compilation of philosophical and profound quotes. I believe a quote has the

potential to make a very powerful impact on our thought process, often leading us to have ah ha moments.

Some quotes you will be familiar with and others can assist your purposeful journey.

Hopefully they will give you deep and insightful messages that go beyond the surface stuff; we are at times

blinded by. Each one is highly significant. I have included quotes from famous spiritual leaders, visionaries,

personal development gurus’ philosophers, presidents and writers etc.

I have kicked off 260 quotes from an interview with Larry King of Oprah about the ‘Secret’ and Laws of

Attraction, see full video on YouTube. Share your thoughts at Central Purpose.

My favourite quote is from the Larry King Interview Oprah on the message of the ‘Secret’ movie. This is

where Oprah describes how the Law of Attraction has impacted her life and why she has been trying to

share the same message for over two decades.

“It is very true that the way you think creates a reality for yourself. There are other factors going on, so it’s

not everything, but you can really change your own reality based on the way you think” Oprah Winfrey

You can view the interview on You tube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0wYxh-akZs

“When you live a life that is central to your purpose; align your thoughts, intentions and actions

with this purpose, serve others with purpose, the fog lifts, the next step unfolds before you,

your vision becomes clear and resistance disappears”

Iona Woodmore

1. “Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision,

hard work, determination and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe” Gail

Devers

2. “Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is simply passing the time. Action

with vision is making a positive difference” Joel Barker

3. “A dreamer is only one who can find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn

before the rest of the world” Oscar Wilde

4. “The problem we now have in communities and societies are going to be resolved and only

when we are brought together by a common sense that each of us is a visionary. Each of us

comes to the realization that we can function and live at the level of vision rather than follow

some great leader’s vision. Instead of looking for a great leader, we are in an era where each of

us needs to find the great leader in ourselves” Werner Erhard

5. “We are limited, not by our abilities, but by our vision”

6. “Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others” Jonathan Swift






6

7. “Give us clear vision that we may know where we stand and what we stand for – because unless we

stand for something we shall fall for anything” Peter Marshall

8. “Vision Looks inward and becomes duty. Vision looks outward and becomes aspiration.

Vision looks upward and becomes faith” Stephen. S. Wise

9. “If I had seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants”

Isaac Newton

10. “Seeing is not always believing” Martin Luther King

11. “Dreams are infused into men for their advantage and instruction”

12. “The vision is all really about empowering workers, giving them all the information about

what’s going on so they can do a lot more of what they have done in the past” Bill Gates

13. “People only see what they are prepared to see” Ralph Waldo Emerson

14. “A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He

should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of

spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but

whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set






7

before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its

attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander way into ephemeral fancies, longing, and

imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he

fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is

overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this

will form a new starting point for future power and triumph” James Allen

15. “It is the unseen and the spiritual in people determines the outward and the actual.”

Thomas Carlyle

16. “Your profession not what brings home your paycheck. Your profession is what you were

put on earth to do. With such passion and such intensity that is becomes spiritual in calling.”

Virgil

17. “Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet

sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do

know: That we are here for the sake of others…..for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are

connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built

upon the labours of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in

return as much as I have received.” Albert Einstein

18. “The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.” Anon






8

19. “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life the whole aim and end of human existence.” Aristotle

20. “He that considers how soon he must close his life will find nothing of so much importance

as to close it well; and will, therefore, look with indifference upon whatever is useless to that

purpose” Samuel Johnson

21. “In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares

for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in

nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.” Dorothy L.

Sayers

22. “I began to have an idea of my life, not as slow shaping of achievement to fit my

preconceived purposes, but as the gradual discovery and growth of purpose which I did not

know” Joanna Field

23. “Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes” Kenneth Hildebrand

24. “The whole life of man is but a point of time; let us enjoy it, therefore, while it lasts, and not

spend it to no purpose” Plutarch






9

nothing” Henry Louis Mencken

10

33. “I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I’ve written for myself, and so my purpose is to have

the utmost fun playing my part.” Shirley MacLaine

34. “Who knows for what we live, and struggle, and die?... Wise men write many books, in words

too hard to understand. But this, the purpose of our lives, the end of our entire struggle, is

beyond all human wisdom.” Alan Paton

35. “How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows

not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other

people” Albert Einstein

36. “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be

compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

37. “The purpose of life is a life of purpose.” Robert Byrne

38. “Things will happen in your life that you can’t stop but that’s no reason to shut out the rest

of the world… there’s a purpose for the good and the bad” Anon

39. “When we allow our conscience to be our guide, then our purpose in life will be fulfilled.”






11

Donna A

42. “People who have attained things worth having in this world have worked while others

idled, have persevered while others gave up in despair, and have practiced early in life the

44. “Igniting your purpose is allowing life into your life, with out it life has no fire”

Iona Woodmore

45. “There is no need to pursue your purpose in the external world, you have all you need to know inside of

you, if you look deep enough, long enough, you are willing to set your truth free and feel worthy” Iona

Woodmore






12

46. “Purpose is what gives life a meaning” Charles H. Perkhurst

47. “I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there’s

purpose and worth to each and every life.” Ronald Reagan

48. “When you feel that you have reached the end and that you cannot go one step further,

when life seems to be drained of all purpose: What a wonderful opportunity to start all over

again. To turn over a new page.” Eileen Caddy

49. “I’ve been getting rid of come clutter- anything that doesn’t serve a positive purpose in my life- am

making room for things that feel happy to me. Because I get to make my life whatever I want it to be. I get

to make the room feel however I want it to feel. I get to make the closet as full as spacious as I want it. And

if I have more clutter to get rid of after Christmas, I’m not going to wait a year, or two or three to do it “Jan

Denise

50. “Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do

Hildebrand

which to work” George Halas

life, and, having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as God has given you” Thomas

Carlyle

58. “You can come to understand your purpose in life by slowing down and feeling your hearts

desires” Marcia Wieder






14

59. “The first thing to do in life is to do with purpose what one purposes to do” Pablo Casals

eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.”

Eleanor Roosevelt

satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself.” Denis

Waitley

62. “Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to

concentrate our focus and move is in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to

cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy

in the long term; its who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your

goals, that can give you the deepest and most long lasting sense of fulfillment.” Anthony

Robbins

63. “We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do

with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing

that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few and acting as though there would be

no end of them.” Seneca






15

64. “When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused

on giving myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous,” Wayne Dyer

65. “I always get back to the question, is it really necessary that men should consume so much of their

bodily and mental energies in the machinery of civilised life? The world seems to me to do much of its toil

for that which is not in any sense bread. Again, does not the latent feeling that much of striving is to no

purpose tend to infuse large quantities of sham into men’s’ work?” William Allingham

66. “In order to please others, we loose our hold on our own lifes purpose” Epictetus

67. “People have to face regrets. Becoming mature means learning to accept what you cannot

change, facing unresolved sorrows and learning to love life as it really happens, not as you

would have it happen. When someone attaches unkindness to criticism, she’s angry. Angry

people need to criticize as an outlet for their anger. That’s why you must reject unkind

criticism. Unkind criticism is never part of meaningful critique of you. Its purpose is not to

teach or help, its purpose is to punish. Life isn’t supposed to be all or nothing battle between

misery and bliss. Life isn’t supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well,

sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it’s comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring,

sometimes unpleasant. When your day’s not perfect, it’s not a failure or a terrible loss. It’s just

another day.” Barbara Sher






16

68. “The only purpose of education is to teach a student how to live his life-by developing his mind

equipping him to deal with reality. The training he needs is theoretical, i.e., conceptual. He has to be

taught to think, to understand, to integrate, to prove. He has to be taught the essentials of the knowledge

discovered in the past-and he has to be equipped to acquire further knowledge discovered I the past-and he

has to be equipped to acquire further knowledge by his own effort.” Ayn Rand

69. “I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the

impossible……” Friedrich Nietzcsche

70. “Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or

mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your

loyalty to the achievement of your values.” Ayn Rand

71. “The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly.

Mohandas Gandhi

72. “Life is so full of meaning and purpose, so full of beauty- beneath its covering- that you will find earth

but cloaks your heaven.” Fra Giovanni Giocondo

73. “One great question underlies our experience, whether we think about it or not: what is the

purpose of life? From the moment of birth very human being wants happiness and does not

want suffering. Neither social conditioning nor education nor ideology affects this. From the






17

very core of our being, we simply desire contentment. Therefore, it is important to discover

what will bring about the greatest degree of happiness” Dalai Lama

74. “We could say that meditation doesn’t have a reason or doesn’t have a purpose. In this respect it’s

unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we

don’t do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of

music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to

arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as

when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation.

Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.” Alan Watts

75. “Earn by your efficiency and enthusiasm, The right to play higher and higher roles, That is

the meaning and purpose of life.” Sri Sathya Sai Baba

76. “True is my place, and True is my seat; I have made Truth my life’s” Sri Guru Granth Sahib

77. “As water, when transmuted into steam, becomes a new, more definite and wide-reaching

power, so passion, when transmuted into intellectual and moral force, becomes a new life, a

new power for the accomplishment of high and unfailing purposes.” James Allen






18

78. “Breath is life, and the intermingling of breath is the purpose of good living. This is in essence the great

principle of which all productive living must rest…; in this way each individual life may also be fulfilled.”

Paula Gunn Allen

79. “The possibilities are unlimited as long as you are true to your life’s purpose.”

Marcia Wieder

80. “The purpose of human life and the sense of happiness is it to give the maximum what the man is able

to give.” Alexander Alekhine

81. “I see my purpose in life as making the world a happier place to be in.” David Niven

82. “Our lives are programmed at conception and are endowed with purpose and meaning.”

Jeane Dixon

83. “I think of myself as being a relatively intelligent man who is open to a lot of different things

and I think that questions our purpose in life and the meaning of existence is something that

we all go through at some point.” Laurnece Fisheburne

84. “We must have a theme, a goal a purpose in our lives. If you don’t’ know where you’re aiming, you don’t

have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, she cared.” Mary Kay

Ash






19

85. “The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote

87. “I have to be careful what I ask for in life, ‘cause I always seem to get! The good thing is, I’ve

got a purpose now, whereas before my purpose was to go out and party,” Robbie Williams

88. “You do the right thing even if it makes you feel bad. The purpose of life is not to be happy but to be

worthy of happiness.” Tracy Kidder

89. “When will the day come that our dignity will be fully restored, when the purpose of our

lives will no longer be merely to survive until the sun rises tomorrow!” Thabo Myuyelwa Mbeki

90. “Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the

multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse

then from lethargy, and to aid them to judge for themselves.”

William Ellery Channing






20

91. “By confronting us with irreducible mysteries that stretch our daily vision to include infinity, nature

opens an inviting and guiding path toward a spiritual life.” Thomas

92. “If you do a god job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a

spiritual cure.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

93. “Happiness is spiritual born of Truth and Love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone. But

requires all mankind to share it.” Mary Eddy Baker

94. “Be unselfish. That is the first and final commandment for those who would be useful and

happy in their usefulness. If you think of yourself only, you cannot develop because you are

choking the source of development, which is spiritual expansion through thought for others.”

Charles W. Eliot

95. “Physical strength can never permanently withstand the impact of spiritual force.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

96. “To strip human nature until its divine attributes are made clear, to inform ordinary

activities with spiritual fervor, to give wings of eternity to that which is most ephemeral; to

make divine things human and human things divine…

Pablo Casals






21

97. “Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man cease to live unreflectively and begins to devote

himself to his life with reverence I order to raise it to its true value. To affirm life is to deepen, to make

more inward, and to exalt the will” Albert Schweitzer

98. “Renunciation of thinking is a deceleration of spiritual bankruptcy.- Out of My Life and

Thoughts!” Albert Schweitzer

99. “Life at home is cramped and dirty, it is difficult to live a spiritual life completely, perfect and pure in

all its parts while cabined” Buddha

100. “Who has ever seen love? Who has ever seen faith? The real things in the world are the

invisible spiritual realities”

101. “All earthly delights are sweeter in expectation than in enjoyment: all spiritual pleasures, more in

fruition than is expectation” Owen Felltham

102. “It isn’t until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are- not necessarily a

religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within- that you can begin to take control” Oprah

Winfrey

103. “Spiritual leadership should remain spiritual leadership and the temporal power should not become

too important in any church” Eleanor Roosevelt






22

104. “Several incidents in my life have convinced me of spiritual interposition – of the

promptings of some beneficent force outside ourselves, which tries to help us where it can”

Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr

105. “The question of bread for myself is a material question, but the question of bread for my neighbour is

a spiritual question” Nikolai Bordyaev

principles of our nature, just as from the same source arise the most senseless enthusiasms.”

Karl Wilhelm von Humboldt
