motivation gymnastics leap
If you don't leap, you'll never know what it's like to fly.
meaningful hurt asking-yourself-why
Instead of always asking yourself why so-and-so acts this or that way, learn to ask: "What's inside of me that wants to hurt itself over how anyone else acts?"
meaningful fog confusion
Instead of always asking yourself how to clear up your mental fog, learn to ask: "Can confusion know anything about clarity?"
spiritual dark light
A whole new kind of spiritual happiness dawns in us as we realize that dark clouds do not ruin sunny skies... they merely pass through them to help us remember our love of the light.
unseen about-yourself conclusion
Any conclusion you reach about yourself has to be an unseen limitation because there's always more to see.
mind listening reason
The only reason your mind won't stop its endless chattering is because you won't stop listening to it!
talking differences bad-company
Talking to yourself proves only one thing: you're still unable to tell the difference between good and bad company.
long
The Peace you long for also longs for you.
self giving victory
We conquer ourselves by learning patience, for she gives to us our longed for victory only in the surrender of self.
motivational character hard-work
The great ones in life are not those who are handed silver spoons. Their excellence comes from digging into the raw ore of their own character, through hard work, persistence and faith turning whatever they touch into gold.
true-to-yourself asks untrue
Anyone or anything that asks you to be untrue to yourself has already acted against you.
being-yourself thinking people
Stop Looking for Permission to Be Yourself. The true individual is no more concerned over what others may think of him or her than is the sun troubled by people complaining that it's too warm, or that it shines too bright!
spiritual important desire
In these times - where social appearance is more important than spiritual substance - what has become our longing to change is really the unconscious desire to control not just the shape of our bodies (according to prevailing values) but to dominate our environment as well, regardless of the cost.
spiritual needs realizing
If we're interested in spiritual things, we gradually realize that what we really need is to understand this nature that seems to be a bottomless basket, because there is no peace in it.
