"Ignorance" - There is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action.- Goethe

A man is wise with the wisdom of his time only, and ignorant with its ignorance.

Buddha Quotes

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. Buddha ***** All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If the mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain? Buddha ***** An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind. Buddha  ***** Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. Buddha  ***** Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Buddha  ***** Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. Buddha  ***** Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.

Innocent lives caught in the crossfire, As the hatred and anger conspire, Leaving behind a trail of destruction, And a world full of disruption. Yet amidst all this chaos and despair, There is still a glimmer of hope and care, For those who strive for peace and love, And look to the heavens above. Let us come together, hand in hand, And build a world that we can all understand, Where the sun shines on every face, And we all live in a world full of grace.

Adversity Strenght. Positive Affirmation.

We all read quotes to give us wisdom, strength, …   After reading them one feels empowered, elevated, wiser.... but quickly the feelings dissipates. Why can we sustain those feelings of power of renewed trust on oneself? I would like to try something. I will learn one quote and repeat it in the course of the whole day, making the quote my mantra, until it will be part of my normal though. Join me and let try it for one day. Leave me a comment if you did try it.  Also if you have ideas on how to sustaining that positive mental thinking please share it in the comment.                                           .
