“The sportive, knightly battle awakens the best human characteristics. It doesn't separate, but unites the combatants in understanding and respect. He also helps to connect the countries in the spirit of peace. That's why the Olympic Flame should never die.” ShouldHumansCountryHelpingSpiritDiesUnderstandingBattleFlamesCharacteristicsSportive Author:Adolf Hitler

“My favorite track from the album Independent is Hold On. Everyone at some point fights battles or has struggles, and in moments of doubt or defeat, this is the song coming from a place of never giving up. It makes me think of the angel on the shoulder voicing understanding but guiding you in the right direction to take you out of that dark place.” ThinkingGivingMomentsSongFightingUnderstandingDarkStruggleDoubtBattleGiving UpAngelIndependentDefeatMy FavoriteTrackAlbumsShouldersNever Giving UpRight DirectionDark Places Author:Mya
“I think the Bhagavad Gita is about both the forces of light and the forces of darkness that exist within our own self, within our own soul; that our deepest nature is one of ambiguity. We have evolutionary forces there - forces of creativity, and love, and compassion, and understanding. But we also have darkness inside us - the diabolical forces of separation, fear and delusion. And in most of our lives, there is a battle going on within ourselves.” ThinkingSoulUnderstandingCompassionCreativityDarknessBattleSeparationDelusionAmbiguityLove And Compassion Author:Deepak Chopra
“Halt regarded him. He loved Horace like a younger brother. Even like a second son, after Will. He admired his skill with a sword and his courage in battle. But sometimes, just sometimes, he felt an overwhelming desire to ram the young warrior's head against a convenient tree. "You have no sense of drama or symbolism, do you?" he asked. "Huh?" replied Horace, not quite understanding. Halt looked around for a convenient tree. Luckily for Horace, there were none in sight.” SometimesYoungDesireFeltUnderstandingTreeSonBrotherDramaBattleSkillsSightWarriorOverwhelmingConvenientHaltSymbolismRamsYounger BrotherOverwhelming Desire Author:John Flanagan
“When we let go of our battles and open our heart to things as they are, then we come to rest in the present moment. This is the beginning and the end of spiritual practice. Only in this moment can we discover that which is timeless. Only here can we find the love that we seek. Love in the past is simply memory, and love in the future is fantasy. Only in the reality of the present can we love, can we awaken, can we find peace and understanding and connection with ourselves and the world.” WorldHeartEndsMomentsRealityPastSpiritualUnderstandingMemoriesPracticeFantasyBattleLetting GoConnectionsAnd LovePresent MomentTimelessFinding PeaceSpiritual PracticeMemories And Love Author:Jack Kornfield
