Aproveitem este dia para pensar sobre o assunto.

My world it moves so fast today
The past it seems so far away
And I squeeze it so tight, I can't breathe
And every time I try to be
What someone has thought of me
So caught up, I wasn't able to acheive
But deep in my heart the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to find my own destiny
I look at my environment
And wonder where the fire went
What happened to everything we used to be
I hear so many cry for help
Searching outside of themselves
Now I know His strength is within me
And deep in my heart the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to find my own destiny
And deep in my heart the answer it was in me
And I made up my mind to find my own destiny

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me

God only knows what I'd be without you...

You enjoy real freedom when you are able to accept or reject thoughts in accordance with your will, and being able to impose silence on your mind, when there is nothing to think about.

You've got it baby...

Keep your need for control and perfection in a healthy perspective. Control freaks and perfectionists often experience a lot of stress in their lives. My personal and professional experience has demonstrated to me that demanding an “A-plus” from yourself in everything that you do often catches up with you sooner or later, physically and/or mentally. Also, learning to let go of things that you can’t change is essential to good mental health. As the lines from a famous song by Kenny Rogers goes, “You’ve got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away, and know when to run.”

From tinybuddha's latest post :

6. Forgive. Most of the time, when we’re clinging to the past, we’re holding onto anger or bitterness. You see how much better things could be if only he did this, or she didn’t do that. But he didn’t. Or she did. We’re all human. We all make mistakes. Sometimes without remorse. Holding onto anger doesn’t punish the person who hurt you. It just prolongs your pain. Let go of that pain.

Meditation means to me, witnessing on three levels: action of the body, thoughts of the mind, feelings of the heart. Once a person becomes aware of these three things, the fourth step happens on its own accord.
You can call it his soul, his being, and it is the greatest bliss in existence. There is nothing above it.

Puisque nous avons tous un égal besoin d'être heureux, par quel privilège serais-je l'object unique de mes efforts vers le bonheur? Et puisque nous redoutons tous le danger et la souffrance, par quel privilège aurais-je droit à être protégé, moi seul et non les autres?

Some people fail to differentiate between marriage as a religious institution and a civil institution. While marriage as a religious institution should be governed by people's faith and the tenets of their religion, marriage as a civil institution should be governed by principles of fairness.

Confrontation

Whoever goes into meditation risks a confrontation with himself:
The mirror of meditation never lies, and it does not flatter.
It is impartial and innocent and it never projects anything.

Os dias passam, uns atrás dos outros, como pérolas num fio. Todos diferentes e ainda assim todos iguais.

É fácil perdermo-nos nesse passeio pelo tempo... esquecer datas, e a ordem de alguns acontecimentos. Pior, podemos esquecer nomes e até caras de pessoas que foram importantes para nós ao longo da nossa vida.

Há, no entanto, sempre algo que fica. Tal como rugas na pele, é fácil deixarmos de dar por ele. Mas está sempre lá em memória do tempo que passou. E tal como uma camada fina de talco que nos envolve e amacia a pele, o amor de quem nos amou flutua à nossa volta, constantemente.

O amor não se esquece. O amor celebra-se todos os dias estando-se vivo.
