TODAY's INSPIRATION: with love and compassion

"I'm sure that we have all encountered individuals whose behaviour has been toxic to us. Make sure that the circle you keep nurtures you, uplifts you and cares for your well being as much as their own. Be aware of the energy that others bring with them. We aren't here to change people, and unfortunately some folks just don't seem to want to change themselves. Set and maintain boundaries, and focus on taking good care of yourself. If a person’s toxic behaviour doesn’t change, or if your relationship with them is just too toxic for you, send them forward in life with love and compassion. Then, move forward with your own!" ~Teresa, The road to ME

OTHERS

"Almost all men are born with every passion to some extent, but there is hardly a man who has not a dominant passion to which the others are subordinate.

And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.” ~Theodore Parker, Ten Sermons of Religion, 1853

It's a sign that you're no longer the person you're once were, it's time to change into you truly are." ~Anon

The hurt you embrace becomes joy." ~Rumi

“But I have my life, I’m living it. It’s twisted, exhausting, uncertain, and full of guilt, but nonetheless, there’s something there.” ~Banana Yoshimoto

"Life is made of small insignificant happiness, similar to tiny flowers. It's not only made of great things, like studying, love, weddings, funerals.

Today's INSPIRATION from Osho

"Many of our problems are just there because we have never looked at them, never focused our eyes on them to figure out what they are. Give life to things which are beautiful. Don't give life to ugly things. You don't have much time, much energy to waste. With such a small life, with such a small energy source, it is simply stupid to waste it in sadness, in anger, in hatred, in jealousy. Use it in love, use it in some creative act, use it in friendship, use it in meditation: Do something with your energy which takes you higher. And the higher you go, the more energy sources become available to you. It is in your hands." ‪~Osho‬
