Ce pot să zic, e o listă lungă și măreață, cu idei și gânduri ale unora dintre cele mai luminate minți peste care am dat. Le-am colecționat și listat aici de-alungul anilor și, uneori, când am nevoie de o doză de inspirație revin cu plăcere să le recitesc pentru a-mi însufleți mai bine momentul. Sper să vă ajute măcar în același fel ca și pe mine! Începem cu citatul meu preferat, din Brâncuși:
Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave. (Constantin Brâncuși)
Love without attachment, live without expectation and perceive without judgment.
Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness. (Chuang-Tzu)
In the course of trying to reach a goal or to fulfill a personal ambition, obstructions inevitably present themselves. This is not always a bad thing. Obstacles, difficulties, and even setbacks that are eventually overcome often turn into assets. Without irritating grains of sand, oysters would never make pearls. (I Ching Hexagram 39: Temporary Obstacles)
Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer. (Joseph Campbell)
Without love, the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction. (Jiddu Krishnamurti)
Life is neither good nor evil, but only a place for good and evil. (Marcus Aurelius)
In the Bible, God said, “I Am.” Even that is saying too much.
We understand nothing! If you understand this, you understand everything. (Paul Mic)
God emptied to the limit is Man, and Man emptied to the limit is God. (Alan Watts)
Find out what you’re afraid of and go live there. (Chuck Palahniuk)
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music. (Nietzsche)
You need to face your existential demons yourself. Also, those demons are yourself. Good luck in life reader of this comment. (Necunoscut)
Death. The certain prospect of death could sweeten every life with a precious and fragrant drop of levity, and now you strange apothecary souls have turned it into an ill-tasting drop of poison that makes the whole of life repulsive. (Nietzsche)
Death is not a disease! You drop the body when you cannot evolve in it anymore. If you are lucky enough and you have evolved beyond the body you will not come back. Otherwise, you will restart from the level of consciousness you were at when you dropped the body. (Necunoscut)
Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things. (Peter Drucker)
Competition is the law of the jungle, but cooperation is the law of civilization. (Peter Kropotkin)
I don’t feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning. (Michel Foucault)
Search for what is good and strong and beautiful in your society and elaborate from there. Push outward. Always create from what you already have. Then you will know what to do. (Michel Foucault)
The imaginary is not formed in opposition to reality as its denial or compensation; it grows among signs, from book to book, in the interstice of repetitions and commentaries; it is born and takes shape in the interval between books. It is the phenomenon of the library. (Michel Foucault)
When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new. (Dalai Lama)
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”. (Hunter S. Thompson)
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. (Michelangelo Buonarroti)
Symbolism is the language of the Mysteries. By symbols, men have ever sought to communicate to each other those thoughts that transcend the limitations of language. (Manly P. Hall)
Push your boundaries beyond the ordinary; be that extra in extraordinary. (Roy T. Bennett)
Fear knocked, love answered and no one was there. (Wayne W. Dyer)
Success may require a lot of days. But progress only requires one. (T. Jay Taylor)
You need power only when you want to do something harmful; otherwise, love is enough to get everything done. (Charlie Chaplin)
There are some people who live in a dream world and there are some who face reality, and then there are those who turn one into the other. (Douglas H. Everett)
In order to eat, you have to be hungry. In order to learn, you have to be ignorant. Ignorance is a condition of learning. Pain is a condition of health. Passion is a condition of thought. Death is a condition of life. (Robert Anton Wilson)
Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won’t have a title until much later. (Bob Goff)
Trust yourself, and trust your body, if you embody what I call the thresholder. The thresholder is one whose role is to bring others to the edge. You can only take them to the edge; they must cross over themselves. Others can only take you to the edge; you must cross over it yourself, and see who welcomes you on the other side of the journey. (Eric Francis)
You are so unconditionally loved by the universe, that you are even allowed to believe you are not unconditionally supported. That’s how unconditionally supported you are. If you are actually given the ability to believe that you are worthless, that you are unsupported, that you are nothing and yet you still EXIST; what you are being given is the demonstration that the universe is absolutely willing to unconditionally support anything you say is true about yourself. (Bashar)
You do not have the ability to imagine what you do not have the ability to become. You do not have the ability to imagine what you do not already contain. (Bashar)
The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere. (Empedocles)
Just as one sun is reflected in numerous puddles, each showing a separate image of the same sun, so the unlimited and ever-present light of pure Knowing is reflected in seven billion minds as the feeling ‘I am,’ giving rise to the appearance of seven billion selves. (Rupert Spira)
When you wake up from your story, guess what you realize about everybody else? They are not their story. They are Spirit, too. And that spirit is totally independent of their story and your story about them. So you not only lose your center, you lose their center, that box you would put them in. You see they are the same. This is why it is said that enlightenment is never a personal matter. You can’t realize you are enlightened and still believe that others aren’t. You can’t see your true nature without seeing the true nature of everything. It is literally impossible. This is a tremendous act of compassion, an act of love. (Adyashanti)
People get into a heavy-duty sin and guilt trip, feeling that if things are going wrong, that means that they did something bad and they are being punished. That’s not the idea at all. The idea of karma is that you continually get the teachings that you need to open your heart. To the degree that you didn’t understand in the past how to stop protecting your soft spot, how to stop armoring your heart, you’re given this gift of teachings in the form of your life, to give you everything you need to open further. (Pema Chödrön)
Words can never convey the beauty of a tree; to understand it, you must see it with your own eyes. Language cannot capture the melody of a song; to understand it, you must hear it with your own ears. So it is with the Tao: the only way to understand it is to directly experience it. The subtle truth of the Universe is unsayable and unthinkable. Therefore the highest teachings are wordless. My own words are not the medicine, but a prescription; not the destination, but a map to help you reach it. When you get there, quiet your mind and close your mouth. Don’t analyze the Tao. Strive instead to live it: silently, undividedly, with your whole harmonious being. (Hua Hu Ching)
Nu spatele te doare, ci povara pe care o porți.
Nu ochii te dor, doar nedreptatea/ceea ce trebuie să vezi,
Nu capul te doare, ci gândurile care sunt în el,
Nu gâtul te doare, doar ceea ce nu exprimi sau ceea ce spui cu furie,
Nu stomacul este care te doare, doar ceea ce sufletul tău nu digeră,
Nu ficatul te doare, doar furia pe care o porți.
Nu Inima te doare, doar absența dragostei!
Și IUBIREA este cel mai puternic medicament! (Ada Luz Marquez)
The description is not the described; I can describe the mountain, but the description is not the mountain, and if you are caught up in the description, as most people are, then you will never see the mountain. (Jiddu Krishnamurti)
How to act on your excitement/highest joy to align yourself to the mechanism of synchronicity and allow the machine of creation to work for you in a positive context that will thus then help you clear up the confusion because you will be using the machine in an appropriate way -
1. Act on whatever opportunity contains the highest excitement at any given moment.
2. That you have the greatest degree of taking action on.
3. Taking it as far as you can until you can take it no further.
4. With absolutely zero insistence on what you believe the outcome ought to be.
5. Repeat. Over and over and over and over again. (Bashar)
It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace. (Chuck Palahniuk)
No artist tolerates reality. (Friedrich Nietzsche)
To find your own way is to follow your bliss. This involves analysis, watching yourself, and seeing where real deep bliss is - not the quick little excitement, but the real, deep, life-filling bliss. (Joseph Campbell)
If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose. (Bishop T. D. Jakes)
We are so powerful that we can actually create the illusion of forgetting that we created the illusion of forgetting. We create the idea of no-free-will out of sheer free will and are able to do it to such a degree where we don’t even see that we did that anymore. That’s how free and powerful we are. God can convince himself that he isn’t god. The creator can convince himself that he is a victim of creation. How beautiful. (Bentinho Massaro)
Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use - do the work you want to see done. (Austin Kleon)
People think dreams aren’t real just because they aren’t made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes. (Neil Gaiman)
Self-love really is the only rule. The others are just manifestations of it. (Dau Voire)
Realization is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage. (Sri Ramana Maharshi)
Seeking doesn’t lead to finding because there is nothing that is lost, but only seekers come to find that there is nothing that is lost. (Brent Silva)
Understand that it is not the individual which has consciousness; it is the consciousness which assumes innumerable forms. (Nisargadatta Maharaj)
The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong. (Carl Gustav Jung)
Erroneously you have handed over this knowledge ‘I am’ to the body and thereby reduced the limitless to the limited; hence you are afraid of dying. (Nisargadatta Maharaj)
Strictly speaking, you don’t think. Thinking happens to you. (Eckhart Tolle)
Life is not a problem to be solved, nor a question to be answered. Life is a mystery to be experienced. (Alan Watts)
You do not feel feelings, think thoughts, or sensations any more than you hear hearing, see sight, or smell smelling. ‘I feel fine’ means that a fine feeling is present. It does not mean that there is one thing called ‘I’ and a separate thing called a feeling, so that when you bring them together this ‘I’ feels the fine feeling. There are no feelings but present feelings and whatever feeling is present is ‘I’. No one ever found an ‘I’ apart from some present experience, or some experience apart from an ‘I’ - which is only to say that the two are the same thing. (Alan Watts)
Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)
Work until you no longer have to introduce yourself. (Harvey Specter)
The fellow who thinks he knows it all is especially annoying to those of us who do. (Harold Coffin)
