"How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours."
— Wayne W. Dyer (via kari-shma)
(via quote-book)
- A man: I want happiness.
- Buddha: First remove "I," that's ego, then remove "want," that's desire. See? Now you are left with happiness.
"May you do the things you want to and always remember what it felt like when you were doing them."
— I Wrote This For You: The House We Keep Moments In (via kari-shma)
(via quote-book)
"The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you."
— Neil de Grasse Tyson, American astrophysicist and science communicator (via backyarddetox)
