“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.”

- Buddha
Never a truer word.

“The planet does not need more ‘successful’ people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these needs have little to do with success as our culture has defined it.”

- David Orr (via hip-)

“Everything can be used as an invitation to meditation. A smile, a face in the subway, the sight of a small flower growing in the crack of cement pavement, a fall of rich cloth in a shop window, the way the sun lights up flower pots on a windowsill. Be alert for any sign of beauty or grace. Offer up every joy, be awake at all moments, to “the news that is always arriving out of silence.” Slowly, you will become a master of your own bliss, a chemist of your own joy, with all sorts of remedies always at hand to elevate, cheer, illuminate, and inspire your every breath and movement.”

Mantra of the Day: Be Your Own Guru

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 19:45:17 +1300

liliezencoach:

Don’t take anything for granted, unless it makes sense for you. Don’t believe any words, however old and noble they may sound, unless they feels right to your heart. Learn by experience. Try. Make mistakes. Never stop to growing and expanding. Take a new path, to change it later on. There are no right or wrong. Be your own guru.

Mantra of the Day: Don't Resist What Is

Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:04:48 +1300

liliezencoach:

Your circumstances are the way they are. There is no point in getting angry, sad or depressed about them. Accept that it is what it is. Once you stop resisting or wishing something would be different you let yourself have the space necessary to make the changes necessary to take a new direction.

Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:17:45 +1300

“People universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you are fortunate enough. But that’s not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it…”

Lilie Zen Coach: The paradox of expectations

Lilie Zen Coach: The paradox of expectations:

juliaallison:

theangrytherapist:

Low expectations are often a self-fulfilling prophecy. We insulate ourselves from failure, don’t try as hard, brace for the worst and often get it.

High expectations, on the other hand, will inevitably lead to disappointment. Keep raising what…

I absolutely live by the no expectation approach to life, give it your all and then see what happens. More often than not, I am pleasantly, happily and gratefully surprised at what comes my way.

“Those who love others grandly are those who love
themselves grandly. Those who have a high toleration
and acceptance of others are those who have a high
toleration and acceptance of themselves.”

“Forgiveness is a great healer. You can literally forgive your way to health. You can forgive your way to happiness.”

- Neale Donald Walsch (via lightspiritlove)
Agreed. Remaining angry at somebody for some perceived wrong doing only hurts your heart or stomach or wherever you hold your pain. Often the perpetrator has no idea! Forgive, let go, carry on.

“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”

- Albert Ellis (via justbesplendid)
Absolutely. Take responsibility for your own life and do not blame others, eg. your parents, they did the best they could as did their parents and so on. Woman up! :)

Sat, 08 Oct 2011 13:00:33 +1300

“You are not “in the now”; you are the now. That is your essential identity—the only thing that never changes. Life is always now. Now is consciousness. And consciousness is who you are. That’s the equation.”

- Eckhart Tolle (via zengirlinthecity)
