Carry yin, embrace yang. I participate in organized fist fights and call all my conversations philosophical discussions.

Smart as fuck. I don’t care who’s faster or stronger or louder or prouder. Who’s doing it right. Who’s doing it correctly and reading reading reading

Relax and Let Be

When the thinking mind takes a break for even a few seconds, a kind of relaxed awareness replaces the usual stream of thoughts. We need to encourage this and not fill this space with anything else; just let it be. —Tsultrim Allione, Feeding Your Demons.

“There is nothing to do. Just be. Do nothing. Be. No climbing mountains and sitting in caves. I do not even say: ‘be yourself’, since you do not know yourself. Just be. Having seen that you are neither the ‘outer’ world of perceivables, nor the 'inner’ world of thinkables, that you are neither body nor mind – just be.”

— Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (via lazyyogi)

“Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”

Let Them Be

‘People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.” I don’t try to control a sunset, I just watch with awe as it unfolds.’

- Carl Rogers, A Way of Being.

Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Okay lemme catch like 2 more hours of sleep before becoming a slave to capitalism and the whims of corporate sponsors.
