NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 1139

 

• ·       “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live. In truth, whosoever lives and believes in me shall never really die.” - Jesus

  ·       The desire to know your own soul will end all other desires. - Rumi

  ·       “We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can’t have both. Not at the same time.” ~ Brené Brown

  ·       “Walls keep everybody out. Boundaries teach people where the door is.” ~ Mark Groves

  ·       “Why is it so easy to abandon ourselves, and why do we so easily fall into the illusion that this self-abandonment is the only way people will like us?” ~ Ariana Carouth

  ·       "The measure of a person is what he or she does with power." - Pittacus of Mytilene

  ·       Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism. - Carl Jung

  ·       “But feelings, no matter how strong or ‘ugly,’ are not a part of who you are. They are the radio stations your mind listens to if you don’t give it something better to do. Feelings are fluid and dynamic; they change frequently.  Feelings are something you HAVE, not something you ARE. Like physical beauty, a cold sore, or an opinion.  Admitting you feel rage or terrible pain or regret or some old, rotten blame does not mean these feelings are part of who you are as a person. What these feelings mean is, you have to change your thinking to be free of them.”
