Love that one, Obi. “If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.” “It may be true that the unexamined life is not worth living—but neither is the unlived life worth examining.” “Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation…is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.” “Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is…The only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.” ~ Dan Millman 21st century philosopher from The Way of the Peaceful Warrior Attitude Quotes - Perception   “To be authentic literally means to be your own author.” “Wake up! If you knew for certain you had a terminal illness–if you had little time left to live–you would waste precious little of it! Well, I'm telling you…you do have a terminal illness: It's called birth. You don't have more than a few years left. No one does! So be happy now, without reason–or you will never be at all.” ~ Dan Millman 21st century philosopher from The Way of the Peaceful Warrior Action Quotes - Just Do It “When we feel stuck, going nowhere–even starting to slip backward–we may actually be backing up to get a running start.” “When you begin your transcendental training, focusing your best efforts, without attachment to outcomes, you will understand the peaceful warrior's way.” “Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear.” ~ Dan Millman 21st century philosopher Action Quotes - Self-Mastery |
