a note to self:

“The negative thoughts you hold onto are like garbage.”

so basically, don't bring garbage with you wherever you go.

et un plus.

inhale, make space. exhale, go deeper

original post removed, but this pretty much sums it up. wise words from some of the greatest teachers...

buddha:
-if your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.
-in the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

lao tzu:
-the key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.
-knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.

jesus:
-the kingdom of heaven is within you.
