Both of these quotes seem kinda paradoxical and ambiguous in their messages. But i think its a matter of mastering a healthy balancing act of living with intention without getting too attached to the outcomes. We are given life and its can be a blessing depending on how we use it and use our own individual attributes to add color to the world around us. Its ideal to do the best you can despite whatever life throws at you. I've come to realize that alot of times the ends don't justify the means because even the things, people, and aspects of life that we put our energy into, have a mind of their own. It's human nature to have attachments and attachments to fortify the expression of love to some degree. But expectations and attachment often lead to dissapointment and heartache. It caused the ego to work in overdrive, charged with bitterness or maybe sadness causes the person to detach or numb themselves in an unhealthy way and shut down. And yes, it allows one to evade experiencing pain but it can also come at the cost of experiencing joy as well. People react to things based on their level of awakening and what they experience in their personal and peripheral lives. This also influences those of us that are on the receiving end of the effect, in how we perceive an outcome. But sometimes, the truth can only be seen when we assume a broader perspective beyond our ourselves and our experiences. When you truly believe that you deserve love and a well-lived, meaningful life, you will manifest that regardless of the forces that may conspire against you. Trust in the universe and your own power as well, that things can work out positively without depending too much on this energy #expectation #attachment #poweroftheself #poweroftheuniverse #presence #healthydetachment #divinefantasy #heavenonearth #noplacelikehome #rebirth #alive #afterlife #cancerseason #eraofthecrab 💡💡💡💡💡💡💡 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Eni5aFUSD8ieFxxmR2Pl3ZteCgz25vq4u9gk0/?igshid=c52o34w0oi1i
