Sakyong Mipham
“The exertion it takes to get back in shape when we are out of shape is arguably more than it takes to stay in shape...”
Sakyong Mipham, Running with the Mind of Meditation: Lessons for Training Body and Mind

Amor Towles
“The Good Lord does not call you to your feet with hymns from the cherubim and Gabriel blowing his horn. He calls you to your feet by making you feel alone and forgotten. For only when you have seen that you are truly forsaken will you embrace the fact that what happens next rests in your hands, and your hands alone.”
Amor Towles, The Lincoln Highway

Matt Haig
“So, I thought to myself as I walked away, this is what happens when you live on Earth. You crack. You hold reality in your hands until it burns and then you have to drop the plate.”
Matt Haig, The Humans

5. You are what you value.

7. You are what you master.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

“People who insist that you should be grateful instead of complaining? They maybe don’t understand how much gratitude one might feel about the opportunity to complain.”
