Seven Mile Beach

Elif Shafak - On PATIENCE

"Patience does not mean to passively endure. It means to be farsighted enough to trust the end result of a process. What does patience mean? It means to look at the thorn and see the rose, to look at the night and see the dawn. Impatience means to be so shortsighted as to not be able to see the outcome. The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full." ~Elif Shafak

Sri Swami Satchidananda Quotes

"Any kind of expectation creates a problem. We should accept, but not expect. Whatever comes, accept it. Whatever goes, accept it. The immediate benefit is that your mind is always peaceful." ~Satchidananda

"Though we can't always see it at the time, if we look upon events with some perspective, we see things always happen for our best interests. We are always being guided in a way better than we know ourselves." ~Swami Satchidananda

"You have to rub hard to clean the ego. It’s not an easy or comfortable job. It might hurt a lot because the ego doesn’t want to be cleaned. But if you are really interested in obtaining the light to awaken, you have to do it. So, either clean the ego yourself, or life’s challenges will clean it for you. The purpose of the nature is that - to give you all the problems so you can get cleaned up." ~Sri Swami Satchidananda

Martha Nussbaum - A good human being

"To be a good human being is to have a kind of openness to the world, an ability to trust uncertain things beyond your own control, that can lead you to be shattered in very extreme circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very important about the condition of the ethical life: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something rather fragile, but whose very particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility." ~Martha Nussbaum

Marvin Gaye - Peace

"If you can't find peace within yourself you can't find it anywhere else." ~Marvin Gaye

Harriet Rubin - Truth

Quotes on INSTINCTS

"Good instincts tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out." ~Michael Burke

"One of the eternal truths is that happiness is created and developed in peace, and one of the eternal rights is the individual's right to live. The strongest of all instincts, that of self-preservation, is an assertion of this right, affirmed and sanctified by the ancient commandment: Thou shalt not kill."

"There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it." ~Judith McNaught

"Trust your instincts. For they are coming from the angels who watch over you." ~Eileen Anglin

"Trust your own instincts, go inside, follow your heart. Right from the start. Go ahead and stand up for what you believe in. As I've learned, that's the path to happiness." ~Lesley Ann Warren

"When I see danger, I step away. When I think I can move forward, I move ahead, and when I think I can come closer, I do. Sometimes I am wrong, but often, if I pay attention, I am right, and these maps of my own instincts guide me as surely as any by Rand McNally would." ~Mary Morris

Claire Legrand - Life

"I suppose most things in a person's life are good for a while, even if that doesn't last very long. Maybe that is why, even after something has gone wrong, we spend so much time trying to fix it. Because we remember when it wasn't broken." ~Claire Legrand

Leslie Bocobo - Human heart

"The human heart is a strange organ. It can feel both love and bitterness towards the same person at the same time." ~Leslie Bocobo

HH Khejok Rinpoche - A happy life

"The key to a happy life is to learn to be grateful for everything. Sickness gives you the opportunity to appreciate health. Problems give you challenges to find solutions.

Harley King - Dreams

"May your dreams be larger than mountains and may you have the courage to scale their summits." ~Harley King

"Learning becomes relevant when we connect it with reality." ~Robert John Meehan
