The Hardest People To Love
"The people who are the hardest to love are the ones who need it the most.” -Peaceful Warrior
5.2.10
人也有
软弱的时候。加油。
"The great advantage of having nothing is that everything becomes a gain. | |
| | Losing everything is at the same time the scariest, as well as the most liberating experience you can have. When you have something, - anything, you've got to protect it from disappearing. And so worry becomes a resident in your heart. When you've got nothing, your heart overflows with gratitude for every offering you receive." |

One Thread
“When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.”
31.1.10
A present (mind)
“Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).” – James Baraz
30.1.10
Letting Go
"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another."
All the things I left behind, I don't regret it. All the things I have to let go, it may be for the better.
Birth & Death continuously.
What is Nirvana?

Real Life
“For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin–real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.”

Crossing Over to 2010
Year 2009 is different from the previous years.
Strange and magical events happened, as well as damnable ones.
I've never expected the year would pan out like this, but it is for the better.
Tonight by a second's difference the label will change and stay for another year and so on.
I'm going to bed like any other day.
“We must not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we began and to know the place for the first time.”

courage
Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says
I'll try again tomorrow.

Quotes on a Sunday
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.
Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.

Quotes on a Friday - Don't give up on your dreams!
Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you.
--
When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
--
It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried it before; it's important to realize that whatever you're doing, it's your first attempt at it.
--
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.
--
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
--
If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again.
