We must make the choices that enable us to fulfill the deepest capacities of our real selves.
Thomas Merton (via wordslessspoken)
In the end
these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?
Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha (via wordslessspoken)
Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love.
Rumi
You can choose what to do…
Two statements that will serve you very well. The first is: There will always be war. There will always be those who aggravate within others a sense of trouble in order to promote the solution that they already have their mind made up about. And so you’re never going to come into agreement as a mass consciousness that this is “the way.” There will always be disagreements; therefore, there will always be turmoil; there will always be war. The other statement, that is our favorite is: Well-Being will always abound, so the dominant experience of the majority of people will always be one of Well-Being. So you can decide, at any point in time, in what part of this you want to play. You can use anything as your excuse to align with Well-being, or you can use anything as your excuse to not align. The thing that we think is at the heart of this discussion is my own personal power. We think that’s what you are, sort of, struggling for and reaching for.
~Abraham
When you win, say nothing, when you lose, say less. -Paul Brown
There is no dignity quite so impressive, and no independence quite so important, as living within your means.
Calvin Coolidge
You got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.
