Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him.

“Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.”

Michael Jordan

I am so small I can barely be seen.

How can this great love be inside me?

Look at your eyes, they are small but they

see enormous things.

Rumi

It is true that we shall not be able to reach perfection, but in our struggle toward it we shall strengthen our characters and give stability to our ideas, so that, whilst ever advancing calmly in the same direction, we shall be rendered capable of applying the faculties with which we have been gifted to the best possible account.

“Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength.”

Lao Tzu

“Be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart, and try to love the questions themselves.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

Don’t pay much attention to fear, because that is dangerous. If you pay much attention to fear you are feeding it, and it will grow. Turn your back to the fear and move towards love.

A Happy Death

In self-awareness there is no need for confession, for self-awareness creates the mirror in which all things are reflected without distortion. Every thought- feeling is thrown, as it were, on the screen of awareness to be observed, studied and understood; but this flow of understanding is blocked when there is condemnation or acceptance, judgment or identification. The more the screen is watched and understood—not as a duty or enforced practice, but because pain and sorrow have created the insatiable interest that brings its own discipline—the greater the intensity of awareness, and this in turn brings heightened understanding.

“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”

Anais Nin

You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself.
