Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, we all want the same things: comfort, love, and a peaceful heart.
...if you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down on you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.
A heart weighs more when it splits in two; it crashes in the chest like a broken plane.
You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart.
Holding on to things only breaks your heart.
I believe that you live on inside the hearts and minds of everyone you've touched while you were here on earth.
When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.
Have you found someone to share your heart with? Are you giving to your community? Are you at peace with yourself? Are you trying to be as human as you can be?
I feel ashamed now that I tried to take my life. It is such a precious thing. I had no one to talk me out of my despair and that was a mistake. You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart.
He cried that night for all that he had lost, but he would say it taught him a valuable lesson: that holding on to things "will only break your heart.
When a lost loved one appears before you, it's your brain that fights it, not your heart.
Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.
As mankind grew obsessed with its hours, the sorrow of lost time became a permanent hole in the human heart. People fretted over missed chances, over inefficient days; they worried constantly about how long they would live, because counting life’s moments had led, inevitably, to counting them down. Soon, in every nation and in every language, time became the most precious commodity.
But a desperate heart will seduce the mind.
