All Life is an Experiment

Ralph Waldo Emerson

5/25/1803 - 4/27/1882

Biographer, Author, Diarist

I think this quote means that in life if you don't try anything new your comfort zone isn't going to get any bigger. The quote is telling you to try new things in life.

In his lifetime, Ralph Waldo Emerson became the most widely known man of letters in America, establishing himself as a prolific poet, essayist, popular lecturer, and an advocate of social reforms who was nevertheless suspicious of reform and reformers.

After spending more than a decade in the world of personal development, I can share with you that it seems that Waldo has been quoted more than any other philosopher or source that I can think of besides the Bible.

Change is hard and trying new things can sometimes be harder, but with this quote in your back pocket try to remember that our life is here to try new things. They may not always work out the way you want, but you can use this to learn from the experience.

Another great quote from Waldo was: “All I have seen teaches me to trust the creator for all I have not seen.”
