The thought manifest as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings.
Buddha (via wethinkwedream)
For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

I hope you’re living a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

“All the things that truly matter, beauty, love, creativity, joy and inner peace arise from beyond the mind.” ~Eckhart Tolle
“Awareness and belief that you can control your mind is a huge first step. Many people go through their entire lives victimized by their thinking. They believe they have no control of what thoughts take up residence in their brains, and worse, they believe that every thought they have is true. In fact, most of the time our thoughts are meaningless, untrue, or simply a portion of the truth.
Buddhists use a psychological metaphor called the “mind-monkey,” suggesting that our minds are “unsettled; restless; capricious; whimsical; fanciful; inconstant; confused; indecisive; uncontrollable.” When we learn to tame the mind-monkey and master our thinking, then we have the power and freedom to change our lives profoundly through clear, brilliant action.
Learning to tame the mind-monkey is like training a puppy or a toddler. You need persistence, patience, and a gentle hand. You have allowed your mind to run wild for most of your life, but once you learn to exert simple boundaries and control, your mind will respond brilliantly. Simplifying your thinking will expand your mind.”
