Mystery
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.
Flowers
“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.”
– Vincent Van Gogh
Comparison
“To be a happy person, one has to drop all comparison. Drop all these stupid ideas of being superior and inferior. You are neither superior nor inferior. You are simply yourself! There exists no one like you, no one with whom you can be compared. Then, suddenly, you are at home.”
– Osho
Perceptions
Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions not outside.
– Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
Death
Don’t behave as if you are destined to live forever. What’s fated hangs over you. As long you live and while you can, become good now.
– Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
Quote
There are no ordinary moments.
