" I dream of a simple life. Where we don’t go to work to barely survive, but because we truly enjoy it and helps us to buy nice things. But not for survival. We were born free so I want to live freely." - Anonymous | @loveandpeacewithyourself

"You have to take risks, he said. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen."

When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

"The best thing about aging, I have come to understand, is that you have a past. No one can take that away, so you’d better like it. That is why it is so important to waste no time. By living fully every day, you create your life and that becomes your past, a rich past."

"Perhaps the biggest challenge isn't learning how to repair ourselves, but rather learning to accept that we all deal with uncomfortable situations and emotions in life. We all have challenges. We all go through difficult times. We all deal with constantly changing and sometimes confusing feelings. And we all struggle to treat ourselves kindly every now and then. This doesn't make us damaged; it makes us human. At some point we need to decide that we're okay just as we are, even if we have room to grow."

It isn’t what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it’s what we say to ourselves about what happens. —PEMA CHÖDRÖN

“ Usually people chase financial and political power. Many people believe that if they attain these kinds of power, they can do a lot of things and make themselves happy. But if we look deeply, we see that people who are running after power suffer greatly. We suffer first in the chase, because so many people are struggling for the same thing. We believe that the power we are searching for is scarce and elusive and available only at the expense of someone else. But even if we achieve power, we never feel powerful enough. I have met people who are rich, with lots of power and fame. But they are not always happy, and some even commit suicide. So money, fame, and power can all contribute somewhat to your happiness, but if you lack love, even if you have a lot of money, fame, and power, you can’t be entirely happy. ” - Thich Nhat Hanh

Every act comes back to you. Your knife goes in, the person dies. Any harm you do to other people will come back and punish you. You alone will understand your suffering. No one else will understand your suffering, and the process of dying will be very difficult. This is why the greatest happiness is knowing you are on the right path. You don’t do anything that destroys people, animals, plants, or minerals. With that peace of mind, you can go through difficulties and dangers without fear, and you will die in peace. This is important. There is no time to wait.
