Responding with Wonderment and Awe

Finding the world awesome, mysterious. Being intrigued with phenomena and beauty. Have fun figuring it out!

The world belongs to the energetic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.
Charles M. Schwab
Enthusiasm is nothing more or less than faith in action.
Henry Chester
I have no special gift. I am only passionately curious.
Albert Einstein
People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.
Saint Augustine
We are all naturally seekers of wonders. We travel far to see the majesty of old ruins, the venerable forms of the hoary mountains, great waterfalls, and galleries of art. And yet the world's wonder is all around us; the wonder of setting suns, and evening stars, of the magic spring-time, the blossoming of the trees, the strange transformations of the moth..
Albert Pike, writer
A dream is the bearer of a new possibility, the enlarged horizon, the great hope.

The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.
Ralph W. Sockman, minister
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.
Abraham Maslow
Champions aren’t made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them--a desire, a dream, a vision
Muhammed Ali
In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.

The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, philosopher
Optimal experience is that rare occasion when we feel a sense of exhilaration, a deep sense of enjoyment that is long cherished and that becomes a landmark in memory for what life should be like.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyhi Flow
If you're dedicated, if it's something that lives and breathes in your heart, then you've simply got to go ahead and do it.
Rodney Crowell, singer and songwriter
If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you'll be fired with enthusiasm.
Vince Lombardi
Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
Howard Thurman
In the next twenty centuries… humanity may begin to understand its most baffling mystery – where are we going? The earth is, in fact, traveling many thousands of miles per hour in the direction of the constellation Hercules – to some unknown destination in the cosmos. Man must understand his universe in order to understand his destiny. Mystery, however, is a very necessary ingredient in our lives.. Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis for man’s desire to understand. Who knows what mysteries will be solved in our lifetime, and what new riddles will become the challenge of the new generation? Science has not mastered prophesy. We predict too much for the next year yet far too little for the next ten. Responding to challenges is one of democracy’s great strengths. Our successes in space can be sued in the next decade in the solution of many of our planet’s problems.
Neil Armstrong
Without awe life becomes routine…try to be surprised by something every day Try to surprise at least one person every day.
Mihalyi. Csikszentmihalyi
Enthusiasm is a vital element toward the individual success of every man or woman.

If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.
Rachel Louise Carson, writer and ecologist
There are moments of existence when time and space are more profound, and the awareness of existence is immensely heightened.
Charles Baudelaire, French poet
