Just finished Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and I’m still sitting with it.
This beautiful memoir tells the true story of Albom reconnecting with his former college professor, Morrie Schwartz, during the final months of Morrie’s life as he battles ALS. What starts as simple Tuesday visits turns into powerful life lessons about love, work, forgiveness, family, and what it really means to live.
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
“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.”
“Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”
“Devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”
“Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others.”
“If you’re always battling against getting older, you’re always going to be unhappy.”
“You can’t substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship.”
“There is no such thing as ‘too late’ in life.”
“The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.”
“Don’t cling to things, because everything is impermanent”
This book is a gentle reminder that:
• Success isn’t measured by money or status.
• Vulnerability is strength.
• It’s never too late to reconnect.
• Love is always the answer.
It’s not a long read, but it’s one that lingers. The kind of book that makes you pause, reflect. 🤍
