Too lazy to write much now...

so I am just copying some good quotes from a newsletter I am subscribed to and just read today. I also love it when I come across a good quote, especially when the message isn't necessarily new but for some reason it resonates with you more and you are finally "getting it". Enjoy.


"When you release your desire for something, your unhappiness goes. When you release the concern about what somebody else thinks about something, your concern about it goes.
As you realize that you can't handle other people's lives, your worry about them goes.
And when you realize that you can handle your life, your happiness increases."
-- John-Roger

It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others.
-- Sydney J. Harris

'Self-Love is our deep personal conviction that, when the music stops, we're absolutely okay. Self-love enables us to take for granted that we're essentially lovable and worthwhile - in and of ourselves and regardless of whatever roles, titles, successes we may (or may not) enjoy. High self-love leads us to trust our feelings and intuition automatically. Because it reinforces our sense of personal rights, it helps us say no, set limits, stick up for ourselves, and keep ourselves safe both physically and emotionally as a natural response to any kind of threat. Self- love lends us much more than the power to care for ourselves as individuals in every way that we can conceive; it empowers us to thrive. It leads us to our mission in life and enables us to experience true emotional intimacy with another." _The New Couple_ by Maurice Taylor and Seana McGee)


Ultimately, what we are looking to is the deepest connection within ourselves. As we get more connected to that, we begin to feel in harmony with other people and with the rest of the world.
