living in now

living in now

a joyful life of detached curiosity, openness, and contentment
accept reality without assigning meaning,
become calm, centered, and grounded,
then, and only then,
seek understanding with curiousity, openness, and without judgment
and process, calmly, so you can
respond rationally and effectively
discover joy, peace, unconscious happiness
through practicing contentment and gratitude

Actions Speak

quotefeeling:

“I don’t trust words, I trust actions.”

Unknown

you are not

who you think you are

who you tell yourself you are

who you want to believe you are

who you want others to think you are

you are

what you actually do

and changing that

begins with

brutal honesty with yourself

facing the truth your actions and choices reveal

about who you are

avoiding no ugly truth

no hard feelings

accepting who you are revealed to be

working diligently to understand yourself

and then out of acceptance and understanding

making new, better choices

over and over

people lie to themselves

thoughtkick:

“Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves.”

Don Miguel Ruiz (via perfectquote)

self-awareness

is not self-consciousness

know thyself

it is the beginning

of wisdom

and a lifelong task

because we hate

to face our own ugliness

self-consciousness

seeks to manipulate

and control

how others perceive you

out of insecurity and

desperation to be

liked, accepted, validated

as a substitute

for genuine self-awareness

acceptance, understanding

growth, and change
