Part One of Three

This collection of beautiful quotes that will inspire you to awaken your curiosity about the mystery of life is excerpted from "ONE", a book by Masami Sato, the founder of Buy1GIVE which is a global giving organisation sharing the joy of giving. The quotes in this first edition include topics that are profoundly related to our everyday lives, such as mystery, judgment and connection. This article is the first part of the 3 "ONE Book Life-Changing Quotes Series".

On transforming judgment

"Judgment often has very little relation to reality."

"Actions and words don't always accurately reflect who we are. Every single one of us has had the experience of wanting to undo what we did or said."

On the mystery of life

"It's very, very clear that we don't need to know all of the 'hows' and 'whys' of life to keep living on this planet."

"There are so many things we don't understand in life. In spite of that lack of understanding though, we often enjoy experiencing those things."

"Seeing is important but trying to figure out everything isn't necessary."

"The scientists are not here to reveal the 'truth' because we are here to seek it forever. They are actually here to complicate the game (of life) so that we can have more questions and enjoy the game longer."

Connection

"Connection is the core of everything. That's what life is. Connection."

"Every single thing we do is to satisfy the need for connection."

"We cannot feel unhappy when we are feeling totally connected. It's impossible!"

"We are designed to constantly seek ways to connect to each other and to a greater purpose."

"'solutions' coming from fear and doubt may not be the most effective ways. We end up feeling more and more disconnected from each other."

"We can only truly celebrate the victory with others when we win together. Then we feel connected."

"This is the game called ONE. The aim of the game is to 'connect'! We keep connecting until we all become ONE.
