“It's important to cultivate detachment. One way to do this is to practice imagining yourself dead, or in the process of dying. If there's a window, you must imagine your body falling out the window.

These exercises are necessary to achieving the proper distance.” IfsWayImportantBodyFallProcessPracticeImagineAchieveDyingWindowSkinsDistanceTrainYour BodyOne WayWheelsEmptinessKnivesDetachmentNumbnessPiercingsTorsoGirl InterruptedImagining Yourself Author:Susanna Kaysen

“To know how other people behave takes intelligence, but to know myself takes wisdom. To manage other people's lives takes strength, but to manage my own life takes true power. If I am content with what I have, I can live simply and enjoy both prosperity and free time. If my goals are clear, I can achieve them without fuss. If I am at peace with myself, I will not spend my life force in conflicts. If I have learned to let go, I do not need to fear dying.” PeopleIfsKnowsNeedsI CanForcePeaceEnjoyGoalMy OwnKnow HowLearningClearAchieveDyingConflictLetting GoProsperityManageBehaveI Have LearnedMy Own LifeFree TimeTrue PowerLive Simply Book:The Tao of Leadership: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching Adapted for a New Age Source: The Tao of Leadership: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching Adapted for a New Age

“So I came to my Christian faith later in life, and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.
