“The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti
“The point isn't to control your thoughts, it's to not let them control you. If you try to discipline your mind through force, it will grow resentful and more resistant to the change you wish to implement. Instead, we must treat our minds with grace, allowing the thoughts to come into our awareness and being non-reactive to them. Reasoning your way out of negative thoughts is a temporary safety net. It is only from allowing even the deepest, darkest thoughts to make themselves known that we can continue to see that we are, in fact, not our own thoughts, and we never have been. This practice of being non-reactive is a pathway to freedom. We are not avoiding and shutting up the mind, we are changing its chemistry through love and openness.”

“If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.”
Charles Bukowski
“'Maturing is realizing you should play it safe and give up on your dreams' — is what an idiot would say. Never give up on your dreams. Keep pursuing them. Don’t let them die.”
Abhay Sharma

“When you overcome a resistance, you absorbs it's power. The greater the resistance, the 'GREATER' the power.”
