Truisms - Words To Live By

Our lives might not have come with a manual, or an instruction booklet to teach us how to live our lives, but life happening, unfurling around us is itself serving as instructions for us. If we pay more attention to what is going on in life, we will be doing all right.

You might not realize it, but all these life instructions were being recorded. They are called Aphorisms.

Aphorisms motivate and inspire because they teach a philosophical or moral truth which is relevant to our experiences in life. The relevance is what makes them fascinating and interesting. Have a look at today's selection of Truisms.
