Gene Oliver Quotes

I believe life takes us where we need to be.

Sometimes you find your path, sometimes it finds you.

Learning what you don't want to do is pretty valuable, it may be as valuable as figuring out what it is you do want to do.

The bottom line is: We must be working on arriving at the destination for which we were put on this planet.

Not just whether but how we find our way truly matters.

Everybody has a purpose.

Life is just a journey and how you traverse it is what matters.

Everybody just has different steps in their life that they take to do what they should.

Everyone's journey is their own journey. Everyone gets to where they are supposed to be. Everyone's journey works out the way they're supposed to.

Direction determines destination. So the question you must ask yourself; 'Are all the disciplines that I'm currently engaged in taking me where I want to go?'

Pay attention to where you are going because without meaning you might get nowhere.

The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.

I have not an ounce of regret. Every link is so valuable in forming the chain that is my life. Who I am today is because of those links, and I wouldn't change any of them.

We all get lost along the way, but hopefully we figure out some sort of path. It helps if you can imagine the process as well as the goal. Those kinds of dreams are easier to achieve.

I embarked on my life - I didn't do anything. I don't have an explanation.

We have two lives the one we learn with and the life we live after that.

You don't reach points in life at which everything is sorted out for us. I believe in endings that should suggest our stories always continue.

Having a sense of purpose is having a sense of self. A course to plot is a destination to hope for.

I always figure from the cradle to the grave, we all have our individual journeys, and maybe my journey was a positive one and I accomplished certain things without stepping on too many toes.

The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows whither he is going.

All men should strive to learn before they die, what they are running from, and to, and why.

Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.

I believe BMX has shaped me into who I am today, so if this journey never would have begun, then who knows the person I would be or what I would be doing with my life.

You dream what you're supposed to do.

I don't think things happen for a reason, but I think it's perfectly possible to experience life meaningfully.
