The following two quotes are from a man named Christopher Morley (1890 – 1957), a U.S. author and journalist. Both struck me as powerful and worth reflection.
“There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way.” -C. Morley

“Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.” -C. Morley
And just to balance things out with a chuckle on the topic of individuality:
Are you spending your life in your own way, or living according to someone else’s?

Don’t follow the crowd
[...] Life individuality [...]
> … be unique, just like everybody else.
Beautiful twist.
I love the quote and its timing for Labour Day. I would add a few words to the end it: “…and to express your true voice.”
Love the quotes! Especially the second one.
Thanks everyone! I thought the second one was a nice twist too – made me smile
Jim – I love what you said about expressing your true voice – a great addition to the topic of individuality.
I hope you all had a relaxing Labor Day Weekend, and that you have a great week ahead.
Great positive quotes to keep in mind for daily life. Thanks for sharing. I used to live my life for my parents, then after 8 years of living on my own, I finally decided to live life for me. And I’m finally content with my life.
