Tuesdays With Morrie

I've just finished a book that I've read before called Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom and pretty much it is one of my all time favorites. This book is based on a true story that the author experienced and to me it was a life changing experience to read it. It's a really short book, but extremely powerful. So, if you haven't read this book and have time for a quick read, then I highly suggest reading it asap. If you have read it before, then I suggest you read it again to remind yourself of the good lessons it teaches. Anyways, I thought I would post that up here. Also, here a few of the many awesome quotes I love from it.


"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people to trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too–even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling."

"Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back."

"Be compassionate, And take responsibility for each other. If we only learned those lessons, this world would be so much better a place."
