The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe. The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. You are a little soul carrying around a corpse. Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one. The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury. The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it. It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. The best way to avenge yourself is to not be like that. The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away. A man’s worth is no greater than his ambitions. Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself. Do not be ashamed to be helped. The only thing that is truly yours is your mind. The universe is transformation; life is opinion. You have to keep yourself in check. Your mind will take the shape of what you frequently hold in thought. The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Life is neither good nor evil, but only a place for good and evil. You have power over your mind -not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing. What stands in the way becomes the way. |
