Mantras & Minotaurs (Leviathan Fitness, #3)

by Ashley Bennett

Look back at the past, marvel at how far you have come.

What you seek is seeking you, too.

“The art of living happily is to live in the present.” - Pythagoras

You can’t live in the past, only do what you can to improve upon the future.

“The perfect moment is this one.” - Jon Kabat-Zinn

“This is one of my favorites. It’s about aliens on an ice planet.” I looked down at the cover. There was a frozen tundra with a beautiful brown-haired woman and a giant, blue alien male. A little far-fetched, but okay.

“I think I might have gone a little overboard,” she said, her brows raised as she peeked over the books at me. “Nonsense. I think this is the perfect amount.”

“Please. I want to. That way, when you read them, you’ll think of me.”

“Living in the moment is being aware of the moment we are in. If our minds are in the past or future, we are not truly alive in the present.” - Satsuki Shibuya

Yep, just impressed by your massive minotaur dick. Nothing to see here.

“Damn.” Alistair stared down at me in awe. “You look so pretty with your mouth around my cock.”

“I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.” - James Joyce

I feel beautiful, I am beautiful.

“You deserve pleasure. You deserve to be treated like the goddess you are. Let me give you that.”

“That’s it. Take what you need,” he groaned between each lap of his tongue. He was eating my pussy like I was a Michelin Star meal.

“You’re going to give me another orgasm, and then I’m going to fill this tight cunt with my cum.”

I make the best and most out of everything that comes my way.

This wasn’t the end for us. It couldn’t be. I wouldn’t let it. This was just the beginning.

Nothing can disrupt my peace.

If I can change my thoughts, I can change anything.

“Distance is relative. You can be in the same room as your partner and feel like you’re worlds apart. It’s the connection that matters.”

I trust my path. I embrace change. I am worthy of love.

“What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” - Oscar Wilde

I love what my body is capable of doing.

Progress, not perfection.

This too shall pass.

I surround myself with loving people.

I can do hard things.

I can be both afraid and courageous at the same time.

In every moment, peace is a choice.

I choose to be calm and at peace.

I wake up every morning excited for the day ahead.

“Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.” —Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I am worthy of good things.

"Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else." –Fred Rogers

“You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing”- Ram Dass

I inhale peace and exhale worry. I can do hard things. I am calm and at peace.

I choose to change my life one step at a time, and today I take that step.

Everything I trust comes to me exactly when I need it.

I inhale peace and exhale

I am fulfilled. I deserve the love I receive. I am grateful for the people who love me.
