“I've been enjoying your notes & wanted to thank you for making the effort and sharing the wisdom. We can all benefit from your service. I'm currently working as an attorney and mediator. I find that the information contained in the books and your notes greatly help me in my practice and growth.”
“I was experiencing (once again) some of the toughest few months of my life. But so was everyone else. My "go to" people for encouragement were "gone", off on their own crisis adventures. Suddenly, I was getting well intentioned but ultimately bad advice from strangers. I shut down a little I admit. Didn't want to try anymore. Didn't want to hear "When one door closes..." or "It's always darkest before the dawn." I saw a friend's post about Philosopher's Notes and clicked the link. They have been just enough sweetness to quell my growing bitterness. No cliches but somehow I already knew the lessons which gave me the confidence to listen to and trust myself. I became my own "go to" person in the process. Thank you for reminding me that I am my greatest resource.”
"I remember an answer which when quite young I was prompted to make to a valued adviser, who was wont to importune me with the dear old doctrines of the church. On my saying, What have I to do with the sacredness of traditions, if I live wholly from within? my friend suggested, — "But these impulses may be from below, not from above." I replied, "They do not seem to me to be such; but if I am the Devil's child, I will live then from the Devil." No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only wrong what is against it." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
