Always Distracted

“I feel like I’m waiting for something that isn’t going to happen.”

“You’ll never know who you are unless you shred who you pretend to be.”

“Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”

“Life has many ways of testing a person’s will - either by having nothing happen at all, or by having everything happen at once.”

“Become intimate with your fears. Listen to them. Sit crossed-legged with them. Give them your undivided attention. Offer them comfort. Offer them rest.”

“In order to be free you simply have to be so, without asking permission of anybody. You have to have your own hypothesis about what you are called to do, and follow it, not giving in to circumstances or complying with them. But that sort of freedom demands powerful inner resources, a high degree of self-awareness, a consciousness of your responsibility to yourself and therefore to other people.”

“Listening closely is one of the most valuable gifts we can give to another human being.”
