contains spontaneous entries and insight on a possibly capricious person
pain:
“The primary cause of unhappiness is not the situation, but your thoughts about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral, which always is as it is.”
—Eckhart Tolle
“Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn’t fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it’s comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.”
—Sex and the City (via littlemiss) (via inspiri)
“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.”
—Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) (via kari-shma) (via quote-book)
“Be patient. You’ll know when it’s time for you to wake up and move ahead.”
—Ram Dass (via psychotherapy)
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours.”
—Ayn Rand (via kari-shma) (via quote-book)
quote of the week (via Creature Comforts)
“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.”
—Gloria Steinem (via kari-shma) (via quote-book)
sometimes we forget to do this.
