We’re all damaged goods like crooked trees,
THAT’S WHY WE’RE BEAUTIFUL.
You can never fix up the past, because
THE PAST IS GONE FOREVER.
Tragedy, difficulty, and pain keep coming back because
THEY’RE THERE FOR US TO LEARN FROM.
FEAR CREATES NEGATIVITY.
Once the tears are dry and the heart is healed,
YOU’LL BE A WISER, MORE COMPASSIONATE, AND MORE WONDERFUL FRIEND.
What’s the purpose of having a garden where everything is just beautiful
IF YOUR HEART IS ANGRY AND VIOLENT?
THOUGHT IS ONLY AN APPROXIMATION OF REALITY
We gaze at the past through a distorted lens
THE FUEL FOR DISCONTENT
is thinking that happiness lies somewhere else
EVERY TIME YOU'RE THINKING, YOU'RE NOT SEEING
you're missing out on reality
JEALOUSY is seeing only one side of the person we want to be like.
'I want peace' is an oxymoron

PEACE HAPPENS WHEN WANTING ENDS
PEACE HAPPENS WHEN WANTING ENDS.

DON’T BE SO JUDGEMENTAL ABOUT THE WEEDS IN YOURSELF
Simplicity doesn't mean we lose out
WITH SIMPLICITY, WE GAIN SO MUCH
PAIN IS LIKE THE WINTER BEFORE
SPRING
All fear is about losing something you own
All fear is about losing something you own,
SOMETHING YOU'RE ATTACHED TO
SOMETHING YOU'RE ATTACHED TO.
THE BEST RELATIONSHIP
is the relationship with peace.
TRUE LOVE
