thebookquotes:

“Don’t apologize for your feelings. Never apologize for those.”

— Jenna Evans Welch, from Love & Olives

but don’t trust them

to be accurate portrayals of reality

accept you feel them

then seek to understand

where your thinking led to them

so you can let them go

so they will let you go

and out of understanding

choose effective, rational, healthy responses

thoughtkick:

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”

— Albert Camus (via perfectquote)

happiness is a secondary emotion

just as anger is

happiness comes naturally

unconsciously, effortlessly

out of nonattachment

and a life of gratitude

and contentment

accept reality, what is, is

seek understanding

choose how to respond

out of acceptance and understanding
