Forgive Yourself For How You Chose To Survive Forgive yourself for how you chose to survive. Forgive yourself for the desires you judged harshly. Forgive yourself for indulging in things that took up your time but didn't fulfill you. Forgive yourself for declaring yourself as someone you’re not. Forgive yourself for your chosen avenues of negative expressions. Forgive yourself for all the times you didn’t add value to others. Forgive yourself for what you discovered about yourself that you didn’t like. Forgive yourself for whatever ugliness you saw in yourself. Forgive yourself for not correcting what you think you should have. Forgive yourself for the parts you couldn’t respect. Forgive yourself for all these judgments. Forgive yourself for not being able to forgive yourself before. — Emily Maroutian #forgivingYourself #emilyMaroutian #zenwords https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLL5a8uFj8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

While we may never completely eliminate pain from our lives, we can reduce it.

When someone rejects you, for whatever reason, that rejection reflects their wants, not your limitations. You are in no way defined by the rejection, or the acceptance of anyone else. Your worth depends on no one. As hard as it can be to see it as such, there is just as big a gift in not connecting with those who don't see your value, as there is in uniting with those who do. — Scott Stabile, Author of BIG LOVE #rejection #whenSomeoneRejectsYou #youAreValuable #mindfulness #meditation #zenwords #scottStabile #biglove https://www.instagram.com/p/ClY8d28u9Xj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Inner Peace Searching for inner peace begins with the recognition of suffering. Creating world peace begins with the recognition of suffering. Recognizing suffering is easy, but it hurts. Whenever you feel hurt or notice someone hurting, there is suffering. Recognizing that is the first step to peace. If you are not feeling or seeing hurt and suffering, then you have found peace. The minute you begin to worry that the peace won’t last, you are back to suffering. The minute you realize that the peace will last, you have fundamentally changed your way of suffering. When you recognize that you can handle your suffering, you have found peace. — Zenmister, from Peace & Suffering #peace #suffering #innerPeace #zenmister #zenwords https://www.instagram.com/p/CnwtPGYux4N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Listening to People If you practice listening to people, giving them your attention despite your lack of interest you will demonstrate caring even if you don’t feel it. Don’t judge what people say as being worthy of your attention or not. Build you capacity for attention by listening and focus only on listening. When you are distracted by your inattention, go back to listening, hear what they are saying. By listening to people and giving them your attention you learn to care. As you learn to care, listening becomes easier.
