Ralph Waldo Emerson was a famous American essayist, philosopher and poet from the 1800s. His essay “Self-Reliance” is perhaps his most well-known work. Emerson believed in nonconformity and in a person’s ability to create his or her own reality. He is well known for his inspirational quotes on the nature of reality, and the path to success and fulfillment.

Below are 15 of the most inspiring quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson. I hope you enjoy them!

1. Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

2. To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

By Guy Finley

Are you inviting limitations? Have you ever noticed how the more negative you get, the more difficult everything about your life becomes, including being able to do the simplest things? It’s like suddenly sinking into dark molasses, where not only can’t you move, but everything you don’t want seems stuck to you!

To the spiritually uninitiated, it feels as if you’ve been dropped into a river of resistance but, in truth, you are being pulled into it by a lower level of self that wants you to look at whatever challenges you in life as an adversary. Its attempt at deception – to negatively alter your perception – is the only power it has to keep you from seeing unwanted moments as they are in reality: an invitation from the Divine to outgrow your present limitations. Regardless the nature of the trial set before you, it asks: “Would you like to live in a larger world, one without fear? Do you want to be less worried, or angry, and more at peace with yourself?”

Children are beautiful creatures; they are raw, brutal, compassionate and deserve a lot more credit! They operate entirely from their emotional body, using feelings as their guidance system. Their connection to Source, their overpowering imagination and surreal way of thinking is something that seems to dissipate into the design of society.

As we grow from children to adults, if we stayed in our emotional bodies, our world would operate based on feeling rather than hard logic. It would be fantastical, nonsensical and literally magical. Our belief systems would have stayed open throughout our development and the idea of impossibility would not exist.

Children that are considered old souls are those here with a purpose to spread their timeless wisdom through a newly born vessel. There’s something so captivating about a child that has brought forth so much information and insight from the other side. 

1. They Are Insightful...

When you yearn for the energies of Home, what you are really yearning for is the energy of complete and total acceptance, exactly as you are. You can create this to a great extent for yourself, by loving yourself unconditionally and embracing your unique energy and offerings. Spend time in the activities that bring you joy. Give yourself permission to be you. Shine in your truth, and you will be able to draw to you the others who recognize and appreciate you just as you are. But most of all, give yourself acceptance and unconditional love first, and you will be anchoring the energies of heaven on earth, and embodying the very things you most wish to experience. ~Archangel Gabriel

“Whether or not you write well, write bravely” – Bill Stout

I came across this quote on the internet, and it really spoke to me. It reminded me that we aren’t here to be perfect at the things we do to bring the world into the light – we’re here to patiently develop them (and enjoy ourselves along the way) as we use them to help others.

Creative bravery doesn’t just apply to writing. Whatever it is we want to do in life, let’s get out there and do it without worrying that we won’t be good enough. We’ll get better than we ever expected if we keep at it, and then, we can really help people.

Too many of us worry about what other people think of us, and the people whose acceptance we seek are the very people we came here to help. We aren’t here for acceptance – we’re here to help everyone who’s willing to open up and listen to what we have to say, no matter how we say it.

We won’t be experts at something we try for the first time, and we have to develop our talent if we want it to go anywhere. We have to be willing to work hard in the face of all odds, and we have to embrace the pain and uncertainty that come with it.

Most importantly, we have to do it boldly.

Now that the fearful winds of war are again blowing strongly in our world I find it important to see through the daily crises and find the patterns of war that lie behind the daily scenes of violence so eagerly shown to us by media. Why are there so many continuous conflicts and wars in our world even though we all know that war is just plain misery? Why do we fight with each other?

What are the patterns of war, the general ideas behind the major wars that have been fought since the French Revolution? What are the common traits, the psychological reasons that time after time have led nations to war against each other? And what is the actual outcome, the balance of these many wars fought?

CREATE ABUNDANCE   Limiting belief codes keep many of you at the level of poverty. This need not be so. Consider what good you could do in the world if you had more than you needed. At the least, you could free up a tremendous amount of time and energy that is currently expended on making ends meet or saving for a “rainy day.” Your dreams and goals will be limited as long as you hold onto fears and limiting belief codes. Truly, the world is yours to co-create and to manifest whatever you wish to experience.

There are legions of us on the “Other Side” who are more than willing to fulfill your desires. As long as you feel yourselves unworthy of receiving an abundance of gifts, you will be blocked from having all you desire. Look back on your life and find those blocks that keep you from realizing the powerful and wonder filled person that you are. Dare to imagine how your life could change if you had all you needed and more. Where would you go? What would you do? What changes would you make? Begin to make those choices today. Feel what it would be like to have a life of abundance.
