Life repeats itself mindlessly – unless you become mindful, it will go on repeating like a wheel. It moves like a wheel: birth is followed by death, death is followed by birth; love is followed by hate, hate is followed by love; success is followed by failure, failure is followed by success. Just see! If you can watch just for a few days, you will see a pattern emerging, a wheel pattern. One day, a fine morning, you are feeling so good and so happy, and another day you are so dull. And just the other day you were so full of life, so blissful that you were feeling thankful to God, that you were in a mood of deep gratefulness, and today there is great complaint and you don’t see the point why one should go on living…. And it goes on and on, but you don’t see the pattern. Once you see the pattern, you can get out of it. ~Osho

We are miserable because we are too much in the self. What does it mean when I say we are too much in the self? And what exactly happens when we are too much in the self? Either you can be in existence or you can be in the self–both are not possible together. To be in the self means to be apart, to be separate. To be in the self means to become an island. To be in the self means to draw a boundary line around you. To be in the self means to make a distinction between this I am’ and that I am not’. The definition, the boundary, between ‘I’ and ‘not I’ is what the self is–the self isolates. And it makes you frozen–you are no longer flowing. If you are flowing the self cannot exist. Hence people have become almost like ice-cubes. They dont have any warmth, they dont have any love–love is warmth and they are afraid of love. If warmth comes to them they will start melting and the boundaries will disappear. In love the boundaries disappear; in joy also the boundaries disappear, because joy is not cold. ~Osho

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. And so in you the child your mother lives on and through your family continues to live… so at this time look after yourself and your family as you would your mother for through you all she will truly never die. ~Osho

Give yourself a spiritual hug and say, “I accept you.” When we embrace ourselves – our faults and our best – we are quicker to embrace and accept others for their mistakes, their differences, and their best. This doesn’t mean we’re going to be best friends with everyone. It just means that when we let go of what doesn’t work in us and accept ourselves for who we are in this moment, we less likely to judge others harshly. We learn compassion for ourselves and for others. There’s a peace about living honestly and truthfully that translates into our relationships. As a result, we’re more likely to attract others who think and act similarly and help those who are hungry to do the same. Source: Live Love Leslie

Realize that not all movement is progress.  When stress and tension and chaos surround you, pause for a moment and relax.  The best time to take a deep breath is when you don’t have time for it.

Select a specific challenge, deal with it, and then move calmly and confidently to the next.  When you’re being pulled in multiple directions at once, take time to remember what you value most.  Focus on what’s most important to you and you’ll naturally direct your greatest energy to the right source.

Life is filled with either problems or possibilities.  What you see is what you choose to see.  On the surface life can seem tumultuous and perplexing, yet deep inside, where it truly matters, life is what you make of it.  Choose to see beyond the problems to the possibilities that await your attention. ~Marc and Angel

Your body is free but your heart is in prison. To release your heart, you simply reverse the process which locked it up. First you begin to listen for messages from your heart—messages you may have been ignoring since childhood. Next you must take the daring, risky step of expressing your heart in the outside world. . . . As you learn to live by heart, every choice you make will become another way of telling your story. . . . It is the way you were meant to exist. If you stop to listen, you’ll realize that your heart has been telling you so all along. ~Martha Beck

If instead of a gem, or even a flower,
we should cast the gift of a loving thought
into the heart of a friend, that would be
giving as the angels give.

~George MacDonald

If a tree wants to be strong, it needs a number of roots sent deep into the soil. If a tree has only one root, it may be blown over by the wind.

Look deeply into the nature of your love and find out. The happiness of the other person and your own happiness depend on the nature of your love!  Of course you have love in you — but what is important is the nature of that love. All love may begin by being passionate, especially for younger people. But in the process of living together, they have to learn and practice love, so that selfishness — the tendency to possess — will diminish, and the elements of understanding and gratitude will settle in, little by little, until their love becomes nourishing, protecting, and reassuring. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Don’t carry your mistakes around with you. Instead, place them
under your feet and use them as stepping stones to rise above them. 
~Unknown

If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only 
see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made, 
if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.” 
~Steve Maraboli
