You are under no obligation to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago. Be better & virtuous simply by choosing to be better & virtuous #now in the #presentmoment What you did in the past, even 5 min ago does not stop you from being great right now. #StoicismForaBetterLife
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all. Remember that it is a special kind of enlightenment to have this feeling that the usual, the way things normally are, is odd—uncanny and highly improbable. Find tranquility and peace within yourself, and you will finally see true beauty.
A secret to all this is not to be afraid of fear. When you can really ALLOW yourself to be afraid and NOT resist the experience of fear, you are truly beginning to master yourself and this temporal life. #StoicismForaBetterLife
Every person, every sentient being is “I.” “I” is simply the universe aware of itself at a particular place and time. Lesson: You are not an individual, but a part of the greater whole. Stop fighting everything, everyone and every idea. Become one with the universe and flow. #zen
Life exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal, just as it always has been and always will be. Don't be perfect... be present... and listen to Earth Wind & Fire- September #StoicismForaBetterLife#presentmoment#Mindfulness#anxietyrelief
Foresight, though possible to achieve sometimes, is bought at the price of anxiety, and, when overused, it destroys all its own advantages. Moreover, #foresight is often not advantageous (that's just what we do to gain a false sense of control over our lives). #GoTheWayThingsAre
#Mastery of the world is achieved by letting things take their #naturalcourse. If you stop trying to #control everything and accept things as they are, you will notice very quickly everything goes your way. #StoicismForaBetterLife
One cannot merely let go of attachments to things. It’s impossible. Attachment to things drops away by itself when you no longer seek to find yourself in them.
