Eternity
“Eternity is in love with the creations of time”
William Blake
Blaming the Gods
“ὢ πόποι, οἷον δή νυ θεοὺς βροτοὶ αἰτιόωνται. ἐξ ἡμέων γάρ φασι κάκ’ ἔμμεναι· οἱ δὲ καὶ αὐτοὶ σφῇσιν ἀτασθαλίῃσιν ὑπὲρ μόρον ἄλγε’ ἔχουσιν”
(It’s astonishing how ready mortals are to blame the gods and regard us as the source of their troubles, when it is their own wickedness that brings them sufferings worse than any Destiny allots them) – Homer, of course…
Self mastery
“…the truly free individual is free only to the extent of his own self-mastery. While those who will not govern themselves are condemned to find masters to govern over them.”
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
Do you still believe in something?
“If you make a wish it’s because you see a falling star.
If you see a falling star it’s because you’re watching the sky.
If you’re looking at the sky it’s because you still believe in something.”
Bob Marley
Are you alive?
“Every day think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive. I have a precious human life.”
The XIV Dalai Lama
Enemy or teacher?
“The enemy is a very good teacher.”
The Dalai Lama
A fantastic story
Usually, I don’t like “motivational” stuff, as it seems to me stupid and rethoric.
But this is a true story, and yes, it worth a look and a share.
Oh, btw: “… the single biggest mistake I made in my entire life: I let somebody else tell me what I couldn’t do.”
