Henry David Thoreau used the word dharma in his writing. Below are some of my favorite Thoreau quotes that have been a message to me to be true to myself.
“Be yourself- not your idea of what you think somebody else’s idea of yourself should be.”
― Henry David Thoreau
“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays
“What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.”
― Henry David Thoreau
I recommend you explore the book The Great Work of Your Life and find the song inside you! I was inspired by this book from beginning to end. It is like an owner’s manual for your soul.
