When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

"Don't take anything personally.

Nothing others do is because of you. 

What others say and do is a projection 

of their own reality, their own dream.

When you are immune to the opinions

and actions of others, you won't be 

the victim of needless suffering."

--  Miguel Angel Ruiz

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Khalil Gibran

"Cool loneliness allows us to look honestly

and without aggression, at our own minds.

We can gradually drop our ideals of who 

we think we ought to be, 

or who we think we want to be, 

or 

who we think other people think we want to be or ought to be.

We give it up and just look directly 

with compassion and humor at who we are.

Then loneliness is no threat 

and heartache, no punishment."

-- Pema Chodron
