Quote of the Day - Paramahansa Yogananda

You have all the courage, strength, and intelligence necessary to overcome any seeming difficulty. Become still, mentally and physically. Retire to your center of poise within, and commune with your Father there. He will show you the way.

Quote of the Day

Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The Sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.

Quote of the Day

Gratitude is the most important piece, the most powerful tool in our tool chest that we’ve been given to get through the human experience. What you resist persists. But what you look at with gratitude ceases to have illusory form.

Quote of the Day

Without forgiveness we continue to perpetuate the illusion that hate can heal our pain and the pain of others. In forgiveness we let go and find relief in our heart.

Quote of the Day

Ego is neither positive nor negative. Those are simply concepts that create more boundaries. In fact, such conclusions arise from the ego itself. Pay no attention to them. Don't go to war with yourself; simply inquire into who you are.

Thupten Jinpa Langri

For practicing Buddhists, why would you need third-person proof to show that your own practice is helping you? In the end, when it comes to spiritual practice, you are your own best proof.

Thich Nhat Hanh

We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.

Wild Child - Expectations

We met and it was simple

I had it all and you were the one

That would make it all okay

You made me feel so different

We had each other night after night

All my troubles went away

But of course it's just not the same

You try to hold too tightly

Everything's gonna change

Make the rules and it's just a game

I can't stop burning bridges

I'll win you over, make you my own

And then we'll both feel different

You can't possibly give what I want from you

I know I said you were perfect

I made the rules that you didn't know

All of these expectations

You can't possibly give what I want from you

So now I treat you different I made a list of all that I need

And I left it up to you I treat you like a stranger

And talk to strangers like they know me

It's your fault for all I do As if you don't suffer too

I tied up all our shit Into something that we can't undo

These are the rules I should follow too

I can't stop burning bridges I'll win you over, make you my own

And then we'll both feel different

You can't possibly give what I want from you

I know I said you were perfect

I made the rules that you didn't know

All of these expectations

You can't possibly give what I want from you

Oh it's all my fault Never meant to be so unkind

Now I don't listen when you talk

And what it comes down to is

I'm just afraid to lose something that shouldn't be mine

I can't stop burning bridges

I'll win you over, make you my own

And then we'll both feel different

You can't possibly give what I want from you

I know I said you were perfect

I made the rules that you didn't know

All of these expectations

You can't possibly give what I want from you

You can't possibly give what I want from you

You can't possibly give what I want from you
