Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
He who is serious about his work will be serious about his leisure.
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.
Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.
We don't get wounded alone and we don't heal alone.
Your ability to learn from failures and use setbacks as stepping stones to success strengthens your resilience and determination.
