Inspiring Quotes from Mitch Albom

“All endings are also beginnings. We just don’t know it at the time.”

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”

“Giving to other people makes me feel alive. Not my car or my house. Not what I look like in the mirror. When I give my time, when I can make someone smile after they were feeling sad…”

“You see, you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too–even when you’re in the dark. Even when you’re falling.”

“Life is a series of pulls back and forth… A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match…Which side win? Love wins. Love always wins”

“Don’t let go too soon, but don’t hold on too long.”

“I give myself a good cry if I need it, but then I concentrate on all good things still in my life.”

“This is part of what a family is about…It’s knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work.”

“Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you, as I’m sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you’re looking for, no matter how much of them you have.”

“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in. Let it come in. We think we don’t deserve love, we think if we let it in we’ll become too soft. But a wise man named Levin said it right. He said, “Love is the only rational act.”

“Everyone knows they re going to die,’ he said again, ‘but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently.”

“Fear is how you lose your life…a little bit at a time…What we give to fear, we take away from…faith.”

“Knowing heaven is what heals us on earth.”

“Forgive yourself.”

“If we knew what comes next, we never would have worried.”

“We must be open to God’s miracles.”
