"To see a world in a grain of sand

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour. [...]"

What's the chance...?

Your nervous system relaxes around people who have:

Peace in their eyes

Growth in their plans

Kindness in their speech

Compassion in their perception

Emotional maturity in their decisions

A loving, lasting relationship requires selflessness, honesty and communication, and realizing that the relationship is bigger than yourself.

It takes a lot of courage to embrace being a restless soul. To realize not choosing yourself is living half a life.

There is beauty in this madness.

Remember that you are water: cry, cleanse, flow, let go.

Remember that you are fire: burn, tame, adapt, ignite.

Remember that you are air: observe, breath, focus, decide.

Remember that you are earth: ground, give, build, heal.

Remember that you are spirit: connect, listen, know, be still.

The Paradox of Our Age

We have bigger houses but smaller families;

more conveniences, but less time;

we have more degrees, but less sense;

more knowledge, but less judgement;

more experts, but more problems;

more medicines, but less healthiness.

We have been all the way to the moon and back,

But have trouble crossing the street to meet

the new neighbor.

We built more computers to hold more

Information to produce more copies than ever,

but have less communication.

We have become long on quantity,

But short on quality.

These are times of fast foods

but slow digestion;

tall man but short character;

steep profits but shallow relationships.

It is a time when there is much in the window,

But nothing in the room.

~ His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

If you don't know what to pursue in life right now

Pursue yourself.

Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself.

Then the right path will reveal itself.
