― Nelson Mandela

"A strong woman knows she has strength enough for the journey, but a woman of strength knows it is in the journey where she will become strong" - Unknown
 
^true..

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
 
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

“To believe a thing impossible is to make it so.” - French Proverb

“Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” -


 
When Whitman wrote, “I sing the body electric”

I know what he
meant
I know what he
wanted:

to be completely alive every moment
in spite of the inevitable.

we can’t cheat death but we can make it
work so hard
that when it does take
us

it will have known a victory just as
perfect as
ours.

The war on drugs is sustained by a circular logic in which the damage generated by this policy is attributed instead to drug-related activities in order to justify it, a perverse inference that generates never-ending violence.

~Ricardo Salinas
 
If you always put a limit on everything you do physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

- Bruce Lee

The past is not simply the past, but a
prism through which the subject
filters their own changing self-image.

"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go where there is no path...and leave a trail."

Krishnamurti was a wise man..;)

I think it is still Nelson Mandela Day..

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

"Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with with your self-esteem. They're no good at all." - Kurt Cobain
I should really take that advice.
 
“If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable, insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?”
 
^^^Love it.

(When discussing true desire as opposed to chasing money and not truly living how we would like to. And raising our children to do the same. The entire speech is called "What do you desire?)

"See what we are doing, is we’re bringing up children and educating them to live the same sort of lifes we are living. In order that they may justify themselves and find satisfaction in life by bringing up their children to bring up their children to do the same thing, so it’s all retch, and no vomit. It never gets there"

And so, therefore, it’s so important
to consider this question: What do I desire?

Alan Watts
