“A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful centre. It neither craves others’ approval nor rejects others’ presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants.”

“I’m not convinced that the universe is balanced. Maybe for the universe to be balanced, first we need to be balanced, becauseit’s only then can balance really be delivered. I’m pretty sure if I view the world as a bitter, twisted individual, all I will meet are other bitter, twisted people. When I acknowledge my emtions, but embrace awareness I find balance. When I fight my emotions I find imbalance.”

“Life is a tightrope walk. One has to balance the do’s and don’ts.”

“It would be nice to have many of the quotes we read have a ‘BUT’ addendum written in the sub-text. Be kind BUT don’t get walked over. Be vulnerable BUT also have strong boundaries.Don’t judge BUT please do discern.Help change the world and make it better BUT first focus on changing yourself and making yourself better. Be courageous and bold BUT be compassionate alongside it.”
