Embrace your grief. For there, your soul will grow.
Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words.
So trust the process of your life unfolding, and know with certainty, through the peaks and valleys of your journey, that your soul rests safe and secure in the arms of God.
To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of, because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solutions.
You can be very much aware that when you are stressed, it always is a sign you have lost the present moment. So, you can choose to re-enter the present moment.
All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.
Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.
Stillness is the only thing in this world that has no form. But then, it is not really a thing, and it is not of this world.
You are not a problem that needs solving.
Peace is our gift to each other.
Above all, don’t lie to yourself.
Silver is purified in fire and so are we. It is in the most trying times that our real character is shaped and revealed.
It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?
Reflective thinking turns experience into insight.
They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
All that I seek is already within me.
Big things are built one brick at a time. Victories are achieved one choice at a time. A life well lived is chosen one day at a time.
You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.
In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present – I am rising to the work of a human being. Why then am I dissatisfied if I am going to do the things for which I exist and for which I was brought into the world?
Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
