loneliness love-you two
I must conquer my loneliness alone. I must be happy with myself or I have nothing to offer you. Two halves have little choice but to join; and yes, they do make a whole. But two wholes when they coincide... that is beauty. That is love....
ambition comfort excuse
The comfort zone takes our greatest aspirations and turns them into excuses for not bothering to aspire.
struggle life-is
Life is not a struggle. It's a wiggle.
inspirational mistake needs
The value of action is that we make mistakes; mistakes show us what we need to learn.
inspirational change acceptance
Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. I am not saying you can't change the world, right wrongs, or replace evil with good. Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you don't fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have difficulty changing it. Moreover, if you don't fully accept the situation, you will never really know if the situation should be changed.
positive people guilt
Many people weigh the guilt, they will feel against the pleasure of the forbidden action they want to take.
inspirational moving mean
For writing, getting off our buts means getting on our butts-putting it into a chair and not moving from the chair for a set period of time.
past yesterday burden
When we put things off until some future-probably mythical-Laterland, we drag the past into the future. The burden of yesterday's incompletions is a heavy load to carry. Don't carry it.
law jail people
Under this law (Controlled Substances Act) a bureaucrat-usually not elected-decides whether or not a substance is dangerous and how dangerous that substance is. There's no more messing around with legislatures, presidents, or other bothersome formalities. When MDMA (ecstasy) was made illegal in 1986, no elected official voted on that. It was done "in house." People are now in jail because they did something that an administrator declared was wrong.
others-opinions goal important
What's more important-your goal, or others' opinions of your goal?
perseverance hard-work care
To change rules that are already in place takes time, energy, perseverance and a lot of hard work. You only have so many of these assets at your disposal, so choose with care the rules you want to change.
inspirational war
And neither shall we learn to war with ourselves anymore.
yoga meditation-practice more-time
Meditation creates more time than it takes.
important-relationships people firsts
First, all relationships are with yourself-and sometimes they involve other people. Second, the most important relationship in your life-the one you have, like it or not, until the day you die-is with yourself.
