The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there.

Be still. Just for a moment. Listen to the world around you. Feel your breath coming in and going out. Listen to your thoughts. See the details of your surroundings. Be at peace with being still. In this modern world, activity and movement are the default modes, if not with our bodies then at least with our minds, with our attention. We rush around all day, doing things, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages, clicking from browser tab to the next, one link to the next. We are always on, always connected, always thinking, always talking. There is no time for stillness and sitting in front of a frenetic computer all day, and then in front of the hyperactive television, doesnt count as stillness. This comes at a cost: we lose that time for contemplation, for observing and listening. We lose peace.

Look upon every man, woman, and everyone as God. You cannot help anyone, you can only serve: serve the children of the Lord, serve the Lord Himself, if you have the privilege.

Sometimes i just want to kill myself just to see if anyone really cares.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you.

Your commitment to maintaining high standards and delivering excellence in all that you do sets the foundation for long-term success.
