Be The Change

Happiness is found within you, not around you.

Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us. Not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are.

You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens.

Focus more on your desire than on your doubt, and the dream will take care of itself.

Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognise it as such.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

و برف آب شد شکوفه رقصيد آفتاب درآمد من به خوبي‌ها نگاه کردم و عوض شدم من به خوبي‌ها نگاه کردم And snow melted, the flowers came into bloom, the sun rose And I looked at all the that’s good, and I transformed And I looked at all that’s good…

You can neither win nor lose if you don’t run the race. -David Bowie

The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.

Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself.
