8 Uncomfortable lessons that we all need to learn

1. Your self-love must be stronger than your desire to be loved:
If you're not happy now, there's no amount of followers, positive social media comments, or Instagram likes that will change that. External validation isn't happiness - it's a hamster wheel. Validation is an inside job. The most convincing sign that someone is truly living their "best life", is their lack of desire to show the world that they're living their best life. Your "best life" won't seek external validation, but insecurity continually will.

2. You are always responsible for your emotional reactions:
If you get angry and say "X thing made me angry", you will get angry often. If you get angry and say: "I made myself angry because of X thing" you will get angry less often. All of your emotional responses are your fault and responsibility. Nothing can make you angry. Your thoughts about what happened made you angry. That's on you. If you realize that, you'll have the power to control it. If you don't, you'll spend your life triggered easily and unhappy often.

3. Don't feed your problems with thoughts, starve them with action:
If you want to feed a problem, keep thinking about it. If you want to starve a problem, take action. Most of the harm starts in your mind, with you and your thoughts. Most of the solutions start with a decision, courage, and action.

4. Life has an algorithm too:
Just like social media has algorithms to give you more of what you're interested in, life has an algorithm that gives you more of what you're thinking about and focusing on. You can train your algorithm to make you more anxious, worried, or insecure by focusing on negative things. You can train your algorithm for happiness, success, and growth by focusing on positive things. Your thoughts become your decisions and then your actions your focus becomes your future.

5. If they're real, they'll want to see you win:
If you ever feel nervous telling a friend or partner your good news, don't. Get new friends or a new partner. You can't afford to have people in close proximity that don't want to see you succeed, grow, and progress. They'll subtly hold you back with snide comments, negative feedback, and casual pessimism. In the short term, they'll have a small effect, but in the long term, they'll lead you away from your potential and towards the same negativity that has consumed their lives.

6. Your life will be defined by your ability to handle uncertainty:
To get from a miserable place to a happy place, you have to be brave enough to travel through a scary, vulnerable, lonely place called uncertainty. Choosing uncertainty over the certain misery of your current situation is a decision you'll have to make many times if you want success and happiness in work, love, and life. You'll be defined by your ability to handle uncertainty. Avoidance all risk is the biggest risk. Don't fear the unknown.

7. You have nothing to "find":
"Finding yourself" is a pop culture lie. "Finding your passion" is a pop culture lie. "Finding your soulmate" is a pop culture lie. These pop culture lies, and the perfection they promise us, if we would only keep searching, stop us from working through the natural challenges within our careers, relationships, and within ourselves. There is no perfection, only room for improvement.

8. Your mental diet will determine your mental health:
Examine and be aware of how you talk to yourself. Will you talk to a friend or a child the same way? Are you putting yourself down or getting stressed out from something you said last month? Are you beating yourself up over a mistake made years ago? Be kind to yourself always.
Exchange your righteousness for humanness, your judgements for compassion, your hopelessness for faith, your armor for love. Such a sweet planet we live on when we walk it with heart. - Jeff Brown

Yield and overcome, empty and be full. Have little and gain, have much and be confused. Not putting on a display, not justifying, not boasting, not bragging. Be really whole and all things will come to you. - Lao Tzu, Tai Te Ching

#value equality

We create inequality by what we chose to value and what we choose to ignore. - Kimberle Crenshaw
British member of Parliament nominates Biden for a Nobel Peace Prize

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from you own actions. - Dalai Lama

“If you listen too much to the suffering, the anger of other people, you will be affected. You will be in touch only with suffering, and you won’t have the opportunity to be in touch with other positive elements. This will destroy your balance. Therefore, in your daily life, you have to practice so that you can be in touch with elements that do not constantly express suffering: the sky, the birds, the trees, the flowers, children – whatever is refreshing, healing, and nourishing in us and around us.” ❤️ - Thich Nhat Hanh.

When you are at the your lowest point, you are open to the greatest change. Strength doesn't come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the things you thought you couldn't do. - Spiritual Awakenings ॐ

Forget yesterday. It has already forgotten you. Don’t sweat tomorrow. You haven’t even met. Instead, open your eyes, and your heart to a truly precious gift; Today. - unknown

Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away form yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to yourself. - Thich Nhat Hanh

When someone treats you like crap, just remember it's because there's something wrong with them, not you. Normal people don't go around destroying other's people's lives. - Karen salmansohn

Without communication, there is no relationship. Without respect, there is no love. Without trust, there's no reason to continue. - Karen Salmansohn

“We do so much, we run so quickly, the situation is difficult, and many people say, "Don't just sit there, do something." But doing more things may make the situation worse. So you should say, "Don't just do something, sit there." Sit there, stop, be yourself first, and begin from there.” - Thich Nhat Hanh

Somewhere in the future, there is a better version of me watching this moment, brandishing a smile and saying, 'I knew everything would work out' - @RudyFrancisco

Some people appear in your life when you need them most. They love you and lift you up, reminding you of the best, even when you're going through the worst. These people are not just friends, they are Earth angels. - unknown

Peace, it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work, It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. - unknown

Be one who nurtures & builds. Be one who has an understanding & a forgiving heart who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than you found them. - Marvin J. Ashton

If you only carry one thing throughout your entire life, let it be hope. Let it be hope that better things are always ahead. Let it be hope that you can get through even the toughest of times. Let it be hope that you are stronger than any challenge that comes your way. Let it be hope that you are exactly where you are meant to be right now, and that you are on the path to where you are meant to be, because during these times, hope will be the very thing that carries you through. - Nikki Banas

You don't always get to choose everything that happens to you. But you can choose to face towards the light and grow. - Karen Salmansohn
Our children are in our care for such a short time, and then the world will be in their care. Give them a voice. Teach them to care. Tell them the truth. Open their eyes and hearts and minds to the beautiful and brutal world around them — the soul-healing acts of love and generosity and understanding and the heartbreaking acts of hate and greed and fear, the amazing human achievements and the inhumane human suffering.

Let’s raise our children to see and recognize and appreciate the gorgeous differences and the stunning sameness of our shared humanity on this little blue planet we share. Let’s grow children with hearts so full of love and hope and kindness that every step they take out into this wide, hurting world is guided by intention and conviction and compassion. We can change the world, my friends, one little heart at a time. - L.R.Knost

不完美不後悔
詞/曲:魏嘉瑩

我們都不完美 在這花花世界
如果你感到心碎
那就拍拍雙肩 深呼吸 一遍兩遍
不夠就再多做幾遍

我們都不完美 去評斷是非
心中的愛能多一點
今天傷害了誰 明天換誰受罪
只好學著適應這個環節

只要你放下你的刀劍
塵世的劍 斬不斷後悔

靠近一點 張開雙臂 退後一步 請閉上眼
想起那藍天 藍色的海邊
白沙覆蓋你的憔悴

笑一個吧 弧度大一點
別管過去 被傷害或傷害了誰(或許吧 你真的有苦難言)
沒有人能從來不犯規 原諒你也原諒一切
不後悔

愛包容了一切 回想初生時的淚水
眼神充滿關懷理解 別讓這些過去白費

The Art of Apologizing

The ability to apologize sincerely and express regret for the unskillful things we say or do is an art.

A true apology can relieve a great deal of suffering in the other person.

Once we realize that we may have said or done something to make another suffer, we can find a way to apologize as soon as possible.

If we can, we should apologize right away and not wait. We can talk to the other person directly, or if they’re not there we can call them on the phone, or even send a note.

There is no need to wait until the next time we meet. A straightforward apology can have a powerful effect. We can just say, “I am very sorry. I know I was unskillful. I was not mindful or understanding.” We don’t need to justify or explain what we said or did; we just apologize. - Thich Nhat Hanh, How to fight
The best apology is changed behavior.- unknown
Someone told me, "only those who care about you, can hear you when you're quiet." - unknown

“Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No Matter how difficult it is. Life is good when you are you happy; but much betrer when others are happy because of you. - Pope Francis

Let It Be What It is

“Let go of that which is gone.

Let go of that which is lost.

Let go of that which is not yet happening.

What has happened in the past and what will happen in the future exists only in your mind.

What is happening now is the infinite caress of the universe.

To touch the eternal now and let it enfold you in its infinite love.

What is happening now is the perfect outcome of all you have been, and all you have done.

It is all here to teach you.

It is all here to love you.

It is all here to liberate you.

And it is all perfect.

Release that which is going out.

Embrace that which is coming in.

Leave alone that which has not yet come.

Want nothing, and embrace everything.

Relax into what is, and what is will take care of you.

Let it be what it is...” - Yogi Amrit Desai
The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention. - Kahil Gibran

Please love yourself. You are so fu*#ing divine!

Please love yourself. I am so very tired of this traveling ancestral shame show. So many of us wandering around not happy with who we are, not comfortable in our own skin, swearing we will finally celebrate our lives when we finally do that one next thing. When does it end? It ends when we end it. It ends when we clear the emotional debris and try a self-celebratory way of being on for size. Not when someone's love for us hands us back our self-worth, but when we embrace our worth on our own terms. Many of us go through our whole loves not loving ourselves for one minute. This has to stop. Let's stop it. Let's practice self- love. A little more everyday. Please love yourself. You are so fucking divine. - Jeff Brown, Hearticulations

"Zen is the opposite of withdrawal from the world. It’s a radical acceptance of life, the pain and suffering no less than the beauty of the dawn skies, of the sea in rain, the mountain dark under morning clouds, and the shopping list. Unless a path leads us back into the world — reincarnates us, as it were — it’s not a complete path. For Zen, this life, this world, is the very absolute. Making a cup of tea, fetching milk from the fridge, standing outside on the front step, watching the remains of a storm drift across the dawn sky, and hearing the drip-drip of rainwater into a puddle from a roof are miracles. The miraculous, in the end, is the fact of anything existing at all." - Henry Shukman, "One Blade of Grass"
