Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinnby Parker on Twos“As long as you are trying your very best, there can be no question of failure.” - Mahatma GandhiWhen you sit, you are not allowing your impulses to translate into action. You quickly see that all impulses in the mind arise and pass away. That they are not you but just thinking, and that you do not have to be ruled by them“The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and sense in which he has attained liberation from the self.” - Albert EinsteinWhat we call “the self” is really a construct of our own mind, and hardly a permanent one, eitherYou are already somebody, no matter whatIf you stop trying to make yourself into more than you are out of fear that you are less than you are, whoever you really are will be a lot lighter and happier, and easier to live with
