365 Quotes Quest: Volume 3

I enjoyed compiling a third volume of 365 Quote Quest where I provide quotes around a theme or author and ask questions to encourage reflection and enrichment. These entries are a product of my regular posts here and at quoteflections.

For example, entry #834 is entitled 'Stay Involved.'

The dedicated life is the life worth living. ~ Annie Dillard

The resolved mind hath no cares. ~ George Herbert

Without involvement there is no commitment. Mark it down, asterisk it, circle it, underline it. No involvement, no commitment. ~ Stephen R. Covey

Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. ~ Tom Robbins

- How dedicated and resolved are you?
- How involved and flexible?
- What motivates you?

I consider each entry a meditation nugget.

You may see all three volumes available on my Author Central page at Amazon. Volume 3 contains 264 pages, with multiple quotes for most entries. The books are available at cost.
