In desire, anticipation is everything. There is no lasting pleasure in possession. -Tashi Nyima
Be patient. Persevere and plod on. - Swami Sivananda
Let a preoccupation with what’s good and worthwhile arise in the mind. Don’t let any of the forms of mental corruption arise. - Ajahn Lee
Accept the disappointment of not being able to escape your humanity. - Ethan Nichtern
Externally, the teacher appears in human form and teaches the path to liberation. Then comes a time when, through his instructions and his blessings, one comes to a realization identical to his. Then one sees that the inner, or absolute, teacher has always been present. It is simply the nature of one’s own mind. - Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Thaye

Many of us stagnate in lives that are going nowhere. We are either stuck in destructive patterns that undermine our happiness and snuff out our potential, or we run on a treadmill of routine that slowly kills off our dreams. - Shmuley Boteach
If ‘knowledge’ is a thinking process and ‘wisdom’ is experiential, could we say, one is in the head, and the other is of the heart? - Kris Ladusau
The obstacles we face hold the lessons we must learn to make our dreams come true. - Tina Turner
I’m learning that grief has its own life, that I can’t control it. I can’t predict when a wave is going to come. It really reminds me a lot of birth, of being in labor. When you’re in labor, you’re subject to something beyond your control and you have to submit to it. Grief is a big part of human experience. - Lama Lama Tsultrim Allione
