“You will never be free until you free yourself from the prison of your own false thoughts.”
— Philip Arnold
this is the task
this is the key challenge
this is life
or misery
this is the path
walk it
ruthlessly
relentlessly
unapologetically
observing, identifying
challenging, countering thoughts
as you see the distortions
make your mind
your servant
“You’re not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Just relax. Master the day. Then just keep doing that every day.”
don’t lose entire days
when you get derailed
master the moment
master picking yourself
back up, quickly, gently,
kindly, compassionately
when you stumble, struggle, or fall
restart
at any time during the day
when you lose your center
reclaim the rest of your day
don’t wait til tomorrow
“Dont cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
— Dr. Seuss (via perfectquote)
let go of this moment
so the next moment
can be experienced
savored, appreciated
no. caring isn’t the issue.
the more attached you are,
the more you are increasing
your inevitable suffering
enjoy
this moment
all that it brings
without attachment
to it continuing
“Don’t waste the rest of your time here worrying about other people—unless it affects the common good. It will keep you from doing anything useful. You’ll be too preoccupied with what so-and-so is doing, and why, and what they’re saying, and what they’re thinking, and what they’re up to, and all the other things that throw you off and keep you from focusing on your own mind.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations”—
