Untamed Force

A healthy self-love means we have no compulsion to justify to ourselves or others why we take vacations, why we sleep late, why we buy new shoes, why we spoil ourselves from time to time. We feel comfortable doing things which add quality and beauty to life.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

When you adopt the viewpoint that there is nothing that exists that is not part of you, that there is no one who exists who is not part of you, that any judgment you make is self-judgment, that any criticism you level is self-criticism, you will wisely extend to yourself an unconditional love that will be the light of the world.

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love.

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.

To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable.

When thinking about life, remember this: no amount of guild can change the past, and no amount of anxiety can change the future.

Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness make goodness much more serviceable.

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached.

Life has a way of testing a person’s will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen at once.

Abandon yourself to the moment, and you will find every day new openings, new light, new insight. And those new insights will go on changing you. One day, suddenly you will see you are each moment new.

Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is: infinite.

I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.

We don’t rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training.
