Understanding quotes - from my notebooks Quite ordinary, but special at the same time. Let it grow. Do not often need to rush things. Pause. We should ask ourselves if we're making ourselves happy. Don't cut the head off something in your life expecting that will cure the situation when root treatment is required to make a real difference. Attacking the head may be an easy option, a short-term fix, but grasping the nettle of the harder and perhaps more difficult root cause is less easy but ultimately brings the greater benefit. Do you take yourself seriously or are you aware (also) of your own uniqueness and your own absurdity?Do we take ourselves seriously or are we aware (also) of our own uniqueness and our own absurdity? What is there to understand? I get up, go to work, play in the evening and go to bed - what more is there to life than that? There is a certain logic to life:
what does it take to feel complete? Come in feeling your feet, acclimatizing yourself, get used to things . . . Liberation is that feeling of lightness that comes from acceptance of your self, a sign of a healthy and acknowledged good self image. By accepting who you are you become free to act in the world as the world would wish you to act. Have your wits about you and use your common sense. Don't need to be intellectual. Don't live on the surface, swayed this and that way by the winds of life. Have some depth, your own strength, your own center and live from that, true to that, and you will be that person you always wanted to be. Could I believe my eyes? Could I believe my ears? Could I fathom the smell? Could I let myself feel, let those senses of mine go within and experience the beauty that is there, that is me? Let that warm you through. Let that fill you, for that is you, too. I hope you have enjoyed this 'understanding quotes' page, and enjoy the rest of the website. |
