“The first thing is to accept life as it is. Accepting it, desires disappear, tensions disappear, discounted disappears; one starts feeling very joyfull—and for no reason at all.”
—Osho (via yogachocolatelove)
“The times when you are suffering can be those when you are most open, and where you are extremely vulnerable can be where your greatest strength really lies.
Say to yourself: “I am not going to run away from this suffering. I want to use it in the best and richest way I can, so that I can become more compassionate and more helpful to others.” Suffering, after all, can teach us about compassion. If you suffer you will know how it is when others suffer. And if you are in a position to help others, it is through your suffering that you will find the understanding and compassion to do so.” —Tibetan Book of Living and Dying (via yogachocolatelove)
