Enjoy what you’ve got

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remeber that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

A difficult but worthwhile journey

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

Embrace life

The sun is perfect and  you woke this morning. If we just start there, every beautiful thing that has an will ever exist is possible. If we start there, everything, for a moment, is right in the world.

Happiness

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

As I began to love myself…

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “Love of oneself”.

Charlie Chaplin

There is no happiness in stagnancy

A magic dwells in each beginning,
protecting us, telling us how to live.

High purposed we shall traverse realm on realm,
cleaving to none as to a home, […]

only he who is ready to journey forth
can throw old habits off.

Hermann Hesse

This is an excerpt from a great poem called ‘steps’ which I can only recommend to read in its whole beauty.

Let it liberate you

Nobody knows really what they are doing. There’s two ways to go with that information. One, is to be afraid. And the other, is to be liberated. And I choose to be liberated by it.
