Lawrence and his thoughts

mindfulawareness:

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

Swami Vivekananda

I am home when I am with you but I’ve been homeless since the day you left.

Kara L . Random thoughts

Use every distraction as an object of meditation and they cease to be distractions.

Mingyur Rinpoche

Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. It’s about befriending who we are already.

Pema Chödrön

The way to live in the present is to remember that ‘This too shall pass.’ When you experience joy, remembering that ‘This too shall pass’ helps you savor the here and now. When you experience pain and sorrow, remembering that ‘This too shall pass’ reminds you that grief, like joy, is only temporary.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Oscar Wilde

We are all hypocrites. We cannot see ourselves or judge ourselves the way we see and judge others.

José Emilio Pacheco

Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?

Eckhart Tolle

Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.

Rumi

Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them.

The day the power of love overrules the love of power, the world will know peace.

Everybody is equally weak on the inside, just that some present their ruins as new castles and become kings.
