"Watch your thoughts; for they become words. Watch your words; for they become actions. Watch your actions; for they become habits. Watch your habits; for they become character. Watch your character for it will become your destiny. "

There's a duality in every man and every woman.

Synchronicity is the universe's way of winking at you.

The fact that someone else loves you doesn’t rescue you from the project of loving yourself. — Sahaj Kohli

It was enough to catch that rhythm, momentarily to be myself a part of it. In that instance I could feel no doubt of man's oneness with the universe. The conviction came that that rhythm was too orderly, too harmonious, too perfect to be a product of blind chance - that, therefore, there must be a purpose in the whole and that man was part of that whole and not an accidental off-shoot. It was a feeling that transcended reason; that went to the heart of man's despair and found it groundless. The universe was a cosmos, not a chaos; man was as rightfully a part of that cosmos as were the day and night. - Admiral Bird, 1934 on trip to Antarctic

"My goal is to build a life I don't need a vacation from." - Rob Hill Sr.

"My feet is my only carriage, so I've got to push on through." - Robert Nesta Marley

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream,
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫

A wise friend once told me, the more you think about things you cannot control, the more you are allowing that person, event, or experience to have control and power over you. I remind myself often that the most worthwhile thing I can do is stay focused on things I can control or create. Don't get lost in that smoke. Keep your fires lit and forge something with meaning and strength. Stay empowered, friends!

I'm a man of the stars
Relativity is law
And me and Einstein learned how to stretch time
Science only answers how
Religion only answers why
The two combined is the true design
So respect to God cause he drew the lines
I'm chasing paper, I'm chasing paper
The world is C.R.E.A.M. and I'm going green

All action results from thought, so it is thoughts that matter. ~ Sai Baba

Let love flow so that it cleanses the world. Then man can live in peace, instead of the state of turmoil he has created through his past ways of life, with all those material interests and earthly ambitions. ~ Sai Baba

Man is lost and is wandering in a jungle where real values have no meaning. Real values can have meaning to man only when he steps on to the spiritual path, a path where negative emotions have no use. ~ Sai Baba

Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them. ~ Bob Dylan

You're going to die. You're going to be dead. It could be 20 years, it could be tomorrow, anytime. So am I. I mean, we're just going to be gone. The world's going to go on without us. All right now. You do your job in the face of that, and how seriously you take yourself you decide for yourself. ~ Bob Dylan

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else ~ Bob Dylan

Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be. ~ Bob Dylan

Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid. ~ Bob Dylan

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. ~ Gandhi

My life is my message. ~ Gandhi

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. ~ Buddha

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. ~ Buddha

You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger. ― Gautama Buddha

There is no such thing as a single, solitary event. The only possible single event is all events whatsoever. That could be regarded as the only possible atom; the only possible single thing is everything. ~ Buddha

Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. - Lao Tzu

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you. ~ Alan Watts

If you study the writings of the mystics, you will always find things in them that appear to be paradoxes, as in Zen, particularly. ~ Alan Watts

So the bodhisattva saves all beings, not by preaching sermons to them, but by showing them that they are delivered, they are liberated, by the act of not being able to stop changing. ~ Alan Watts

You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself. ~ Alan Watts

The art of living… is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive. ~ Alan Watts

What I am really saying is that you don’t need to do anything, because if you see yourself in the correct way, you are all as much extraordinary phenomenon of nature as trees, clouds, the patterns in running water, the flickering of fire, the arrangement of the stars, and the form of a galaxy. You are all just like that, and there is nothing wrong with you at all. ~ Alan Watts

The art of meditation is a way of getting into touch with reality, and the reason for it is that most civilized people are out of touch with reality because they confuse the world as it with the world as they think about it and talk about it and describe it. For on the one hand there is the real world and on the other there is a whole system of symbols about that world which we have in our minds. These are very very useful symbols, all civilization depends on them, but like all good things they have their disadvantages, and the principle disadvantage of symbols is that we confuse them with reality, just as we confuse money with actual wealth. ~ Alan Watts

When you know that this moment is the Tao, and this moment is considered by itself without past and without future—eternal, neither coming into being nor going out of being—there is nirvana. ~ Alan Watts

"....you think you’re really here. Well, you’ve persuaded yourself that way. You’ve acted it so damn well that you KNOW that this is the real world.... Let’s suppose that you were able, every night, to dream any dream you wanted to dream, and that you could for example have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. And you would, naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say ‘now let’s have a surprise. Let’s have a dream which isn’t under control. Then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would dream where you are now." ~ Alan Watts
