• accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do
• accept the past as past without denying it or discarding it
• learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others
• don’t assume that it’s too late to get involved
• there are some mornings that i cry and cry and mourn for myself. some mornings i’m so angry and bitter. but it doesn’t last too long
• life is a series of pulls back and forth. you want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. you take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted
• the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. and you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it
• conversation, interaction, affection
• so many people walk around with a meaningless life. they seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. this is because they are busy chasing the wrong things, the way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning
• i was stunned at how easily things on without me
• the most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and to let it come in
• sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel and if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too --- even when you’re in the dark. even when you’re falling
• everybody knows they’re going to die, but nobody believes it
• once you learn how to die, you learn how to live
• love each other or perish
• only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone
• love is how you stay alive, even when after you’re gone
• as long as we love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. all the love you created is still there. you live on --- in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here
• death ends life, not a relationship
• none of us can undo what we’ve done, or relive a life already recorded
• there is no such thing as ‘too late’ in life
• don’t cling to the things, because everything is impermanent
• if you hold back on the emotions --- if you don’t allow yourself to go all the way through them --- you can never get to being detached, you’re too busy being afraid. you’re afraid of the pain, you’re afraid of the grief. you’re afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails
• accept the past as past without denying it or discarding it
• learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others
