“Think back to the most important experiences of your life, the highest highs, the greatest victories, the most daunting obstacles overcome. How many happened to you alone? I bet there are very few. When you understand that being connected to others is one of life's greatest joys, you realize that life's best comes when you initiate and invest in solid relationships.” ThinkingImportantMotivationalJoyRealizingHappenedVictoryHighestOvercomingObstaclesConnectedInitiateGreatest Victory Author:John C.

“Do things with your whole heart, with as much intensity as you are capable of. Anything done halfheartedly never brings joy to life. It only brings misery, anxiety, torture, and tension, because whenever you do anything halfheartedly you are dividing yourself into two parts, and that is one of the greatest calamities that has happened to human beings - they are all split.” HumansHeartTwoDoneWholeMotivationalJoyHuman BeingsHappenedAnxietyCapableMiseryTortureTensionIntensitySplitsCalamityDividing Author:Rajneesh
“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happened better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that's often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.” IfsWorldWayGivingFeelsKindMadeStillsSometimesWholeJoyFightingLeftLove IsCasesWiseHappenedPossibilityTownsRichesDestroyedPlentyInstantRedeemedCrumbsStill LifeFighting Back Book:Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver Source: Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver
“The death, and the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus happened over three days. Friday was the day of suffering and pain and agony. Saturday was the day of doubt and confusion and misery. But Easter, that Sunday, was the day of hope and joy and victory. You will face these three days over and over and over in your lifetime. And when you do, you’ll find yourself asking, as I did, three fundamental questions: Number one, what do I do in my days of pain? Two, how do I get through my days of doubt and confusion? Three, how do I get to the days of joy and victory? The answer is Easter.” TwoPainFacesJoySufferingThreeJesusAnswersNumbersDoubtHappenedVictoryAskingFundamentalsMiseryLifetimeConfusionSundayFinding YourselfResurrectionAgonySaturdayEasterFridayBurialJesus ResurrectionSuffering And Pain Author:Rick Warren
“The voice in your head also creates a huge amount of problems that aren't really problems. They're just things that haven't happened yet, things that could happen tomorrow or next week. Listening to unreal problems has another name: worrying. That's what the voice in your head does. It what-ifs. It frets. It agonizes, and you can no longer sense the joy of life.” IfsLifeDoeProblemHappensJoyNextNamesVoiceWorryHappenedWeekHavensHugeListeningAmountTomorrowUnrealJoy Of LifeNext Week Author:Eckhart Tolle

“It's an experience like no other experience I can describe, the best thing that can happen to a scientist, realizing that something that has happened in his or her mind exactly corresponds to something that happens in nature. One is surprised that a construct of one's own mind can actually be realised in the honest-to-goodness world out there.

“Love will never be anywhere except where equality and unity are..... And there can be no love where love does not find equality or is not busy creating equality. Nor is there any pleasure without equality. Practice equality in human society. Learn to love, esteem, consider all people like yourself.

But quite a lot of all that seems to happen regardless of the paradigm and the high thoughts of philosophy. It has always happened.

“Not that I ever felt the necessity of proving that all human beings suffer the same way, feel joy the same way, but it happened on my way - when I get close to these people, just by the simple intervention of translation I can actually reach them and ask them something, and their reaction is as I expected. I see that the relationship goes so smoothly, and I realize that cultural languages and specificities are nothing but simple obstacles that you can easily overcome.
