1. Finding your true self is an act of love. Expressing it is an act of rebellion.

2. A sign of growth is having more tolerance for discomfort. But it’s also having less tolerance for bullshit.

3. Who you are is not your fault, but it is your responsibility.

4. Procrastination is the refusal or inability to be with difficult emotions.

5. Desires that arise in agitation are more aligned with your ego. Desires that arise in stillness are more aligned with your soul.

6. The moment before letting go is often when we grip the hardest.

7. You don’t find your ground by looking for stability. You find your ground by relaxing into instability.

8. What you hate most in others is usually what you hate most in yourself.

9. The biggest life hack is to become your own best friend. Everything is easier when you do.

10. The more comfortable you become in your own skin, the less you need to manufacture the world around you for comfort.

11. An interesting thing happens when you start to like yourself. You no longer need all the things you thought you needed to be happy.

12. If you don’t train your mind to appreciate what is good,  you’ll continue to look for something better in the future, even when things are great.

13. The belief that there is some future moment more worth our presence than the one we’re in right now is why we miss our lives.

14. There is no set of conditions that leads to lasting happiness. Lasting happiness doesn’t come from conditions; it comes from learning to flow with conditions.

15. Spend more time cultivating a mind that is not attached to material things than time spent accumulating them.

16. Sometimes we need to get out of alignment with the rest of the world to get back into alignment with ourselves.

17. Real confidence looks like humility. You no longer need to advertise your value because it comes from a place that does not require the validation of others.

18. High pain tolerance is a double-edged sword. It’s key for self-control, but can cause us to override the pain of being out of alignment.

19. Negative thoughts will not manifest a negative life. But unconscious negative thoughts will.

20. To feel more joy, open to your pain.

24. If you are able to watch your mind think, it means who you are is bigger than your thoughts.

25. Practicing stillness is not about privileging stillness over movement. It’s about the CAPACITY to be still amidst your impulses. It’s about choice.

26. The issue is not that we get distracted. It's that we're so distracted by distractions we don't even know we're distracted.

27. There are 3 layers to a moment: Your experience, your awareness of the experience, and your story about the experience. Be mindful of the story.

28. Life is always happening in just one moment. That's all you're responsible for.

29. Your mind doesn’t wander. It moves toward what it finds most interesting. If you want to focus better, become more curious about what's in front of you.

30. Life continues whether you’re paying attention to it or not. I think that is why the passage of time is scary.

31. You cannot practice non-attachment. You can only show your mind the suffering that attachment creates. When it sees this clearly, it will let go.

32. Meditation can quickly become spiritualized suppression. Be careful not to use concentration to avoid what is uncomfortable.

33. One of the deepest forms of peace we can experience is living in integrity. You can lie to other people about who you are, but you can’t lie to your heart.

34. Be careful not to let the noise of your mind overpower the whispers of your heart.

35. Monks love to fart while they meditate. The wisdom of letting go expresses itself in many forms.

36. You can't life-hack wisdom. Do the work.

6. Spent more time with myself alone: get to now yourself without influences. Spending quality time with yourself.

8. Set goals and worked to achieve them: learn from your mistakes, try again. Don’t down yourself for not achieving something

//Japanese way of finding meaning and purpose//

1. Ikigai: discover your purpose in life. Determine the reason you wake up each morning. Choose something that aligns with your strength, passions, and the needs of the world. This is what gives life meaning.

2. Shiitake ga nai: let of of what you cannot change: recognize that there are some things are just out of your control and that’s okay. Let go and focus on what you can change.

3. Wabi-sabi: find peace in imperfection. Recognize that nothing in life is perfect, including yourself and others. Instead of striving for flawlessness find joy in the imperfection that make life unique

4. Gamelan: preserve your dignity during tough times. Show emotional maturity and self control even when faced with challenges. Remember to be patient, resilient, and understanding

5. Oubaitori: don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone has a different timeline and unique path. It’s important to focus on your own progress, rather than trying to measure yourself against others.

6. Kaizen: always seek to improve in all areas of your life. Even small changes can add up and make a big impact over time

7. She-ha-ri: “when the student is ready the master will appear. When the student is truly ready the teacher will disappear,” ~ Tao te Ching. It is a way of thinking about how to learn and master a technique. There are 3 stages to acquiring knowledge: shu - learn the basics by following the teaching of one master. Imitating the world of great masters also falls in this stage. Ha - start experimenting, learn from masters, and integrate the learning into the practice. Ri - this stage focuses on innovation and the ability to apply your learning to a variety of situations

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #Repost @corymuscara @download.ins --- Many people are familiar with the quote “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” Many people believe that learning to see this space is a cognitive exercise. It’s not. It’s a somatic exercise. The final stimulus that unconsciously drives us into a reaction will always be in the body. It may originate as a thought, but in order for us to be unconsciously pushed toward something, there has to be something activated in the body. What does this mean for living a more intentional life? Well, if we want to have any chance of responding to our situation rather than reacting, we must become aware of how our emotions/feelings/sensations push us into action, often under the guise of “this is obviously the right thing to do or say.” Body scan meditation is a great practice for this, as well as movement based practices like yoga, tai chi, dance, etc. You can also practice more informally throughout they day by asking yourself, “What am I feeling right now and how do I know?” In other words, “what is the sensation I’m experiencing that is telling me I feel this way and where do I notice it in my body?” *READ FULL CAPTION @corymuscara * https://www.instagram.com/p/CQwVZIYjNRf/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Sometimes, we don't yet know what we want, but we are able to sense what we don't want. This is enough to guide you in the right direction. It requires openness, trust, and continued listening. It's a waiting period, and it's okay to stay there. It's not stagnancy. Just because a chrysalis is still, doesn't mean great change isn't taking place.” - @corymuscara #invisiblegrowth #change #slowbutsteady #chrysalis (at Parkville, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW_44jZvKUE/?utm_medium=tumblr
