"What you get in your life is not a result of what you want, it is a result of Who You Are."
"Our notions about happiness entrap us. We forget that they are just ideas. Our idea of happiness can prevent us from actually being happy. We fail to see the opportunity for joy that is right in front of us when we are caught in a belief that happiness should take a particular form."
"You have learned so much
And read a thousand books.
Have you ever read your Self?
You have gone to mosque and temple.
Have you ever visited your soul?"
"Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest."

Thich Nhat Hanh, Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames (via dirtcrumbgoddess)
(Source: freyjageist, via jheneaiko)
"If you see elements of garbage in you, like fear, despair, and hatred, don’t panic. As a good organic gardener, a good practitioner, you can face this: “I recognize that there is garbage in me. I am going to transform this garbage into nourishing compost that can make love reappear."
"A man of love is never angry with the other, because he is not really dependent on the other. He can be happy alone too… Of course, he still shares his happiness with the other, but he is no longer dependent on the other. Now it is no longer a relationship of dependence; it is a relationship of interdependence."
"The quality of our life
depends on the quality
of the seeds
that lie deep in our consciousness."
"I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be."
