A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

[Aristo @aristomarinetti]

Carl Jung said that one of the most destructive forces a person can carry is unused creative energy.

[Natural Philosophy @Naturalphilosy]

“If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.”

— Hermann Hesse

"There is no linear evolution; there is only a circumambulation of the self. Uniform development exists, at most, at the beginning; later, everything points toward the centre. This insight gave me stability, and gradually my inner peace returned."~CG Jung, MDR

“The last fortress of a man is his mind. If that stands, nothing has truly fallen.”

— Epictetus

"Man is pushed by drives. But he is pulled by values." -Viktor Frankl

If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.~Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia.

[Béa Gonzalez (sophiacycles) @SophiaCycles]

Each of us must learn to live with paradox, or we cannot live peacefully or happily even a single day of our lives. In fact, we must even learn to love paradox, or we will never be wise, forgiving, or possess the patience of good relationships.~Richard Rohr

[Béa Gonzalez (sophiacycles) @SophiaCycles]

The one thing our unconscious will not tolerate is evasion of responsibility. The unconscious pushes us into one suffering after another until we are finally willing to wake up, see that it is we who are choosing these impossible paths and take responsibility.~ Robert A. Johnson

The ultimate relational pattern to deconstruct.

“Your nervous system will always choose a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven.” — Kathy Overman

[Béa Gonzalez (sophiacycles) @SophiaCycles]

The conscious mind allows itself to be trained like a parrot, but the unconscious does not--which is why St. Augustine thanked God for not making him responsible for his dreams. ~CG Jung, 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘭𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘺

[Voltaire @VoltaireQuote]

“We are rarely proud when we are alone.”

[Eckhart Tolle Quotes @EckTOLLEQuotes]

Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.

[Hesse Philosophy @HermannHessed]

“The reason people awaken, is because they have finally stopped agreeing to things that insult their soul.”

- Terence McKenna

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

The biggest illusion you live with is that the future can somehow bring you peace. But peace is not in the future—it’s in becoming comfortable with the chaos of the present.

[Béa Gonzalez (sophiacycles) @SophiaCycles]

Until the shadow is integrated into the personality, the world appears filled with opponents or adversaries who are actually products of the unconscious; afterward, people can be seen as individuals, even people who disagree with us.~Robin Robertson

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Change is terrifying, until you do it. Then it’s just your new normal.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

“The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.” – Rainer Maria Rilke.

[Béa Gonzalez (sophiacycles) @SophiaCycles]

An integrated individual is one who carries his own dark shadow of undesirable qualities, frees those around him from his projections, and by so doing actually transforms a fraction of the evil in the world.~Irene Claremont de Castillejo, Knowing Woman
