Stop complaining

There is nothing else than now. There is neither yesterday, certainly, nor is there any tomorrow. How old must you be before you know that? There is only now, and if now is only two days, then two days is your life and everything in it will be in proportion. This is how you live a life in two days. And if you stop complaining and asking for what you never will get, you will have a good life

Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

Never pray to be a better slave when God is trying to get you out of your situation

Humble places

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.

Camille Pissarro, 1830 – 1903, Danish-French Impressionist/ Neo-Impressionist painter

Learn to rest

When you cease to fear your solitude, a new creativity awakens in you. Your forgotten or neglected wealth begins to reveal itself. You come home to yourself and learn to rest within. Thoughts are our inner senses. Infused with silence and solitude, they bring out the mystery of inner landscape.

John O Donohue, Anam Cara

What peace is

Peace is this moment without judgement.

This moment in the heart-space where everything that is, is welcome.

Dorothy Hunt, Peace Is This Moment Without Judgment

The well within

If your happiness depends on what somebody else does, I guess you do have a problem.

Richard Bach
