"'Think about it - what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow man. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.' -Carlos Castaneda Whether we react to this perceived offense with a verbal explosion, silence and withdrawal, confiding in someone else, or saving the offense until 6 months later when no one else remembers, emotional disturbance is an inappropriate and wasteful use of energy. It is a stance of powerlessness that guarantees that contentment will always be out of reach." - Deborah Adele #mamaayahuasca #thinkonthis #truth #freeyourmind #watchyourself #selfobservation #mindfulness #selfaware #awaken #ayahuasca #pachamama
