Change

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. 

Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

What forgiveness is?

Healing

In giving we heal ourselves."

If you want to win hearts,

sow the seeds of Love.

If you want heaven,

stop scattering thorns on the road.

On freedom and love

Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.♥♥♥

Jiddu Krishnamurti

On freedom, reality and change

“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.” 

 Jim Morrison

Being Human

“This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”

Rumi
