Quotable Quotes 10

[Harebells]

'I never, absolutely never, side with anyone who is against my welfare. I aid nobody who detracts from my dignity, who makes me feel less than human either through subhuman onslaughts or superhuman demands. I fight or avoid people whose effect is ultimately destructive to my validity as a person, or who in any way dilute my ability to take myself seriously.'

Theodore Rubin

Another one from Theodore Rubin:

'I think the bravest thing most of us do is to get up each morning and to face whatever life has in store for us. This is no small matter, considering our feelings, our sensitivity, our vulnerability and our awareness, however repressed, of how unpredictable and tenuous life and the world are. We are not aided by the considerable and ever-increasing complexity of the cultures we live in.'

Re: Quotable Quotes 9

These are some of my favorites posted in my personal room.
Don Michel Ruiz's Four Rules:
1. Be impeccable with your word. - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Use your words in the direction of truth and love towards yourself and others.
2. Don't take anything personally. - What others say and do is a projection of their own reality. Be immune to opinions and actions of others to avoid being a victim of needless suffering.
3. Don't make assumptions. - Find the courage to ask questions. Communicate clearly to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama.
4. Always do your best. - Your best will change moment to moment and when you are well or when you are sick. Do your best and avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future,but from wanting to control it. ~Kahlil Gibran

That's true to an extent, although it's also about uncertainty, not knowing. Our need to control often comes primarily from our inability to tolerate (or difficulty tolerating) uncertainty.

I agree.Uncertainty is probably one of the most difficult things for me to accept or deal with.It's hard to be okay with not knowing what may or may not happen.
