Realness Quotes

“If you feel prolonged friction, frustration, and even misery then there are probably some steps you need to take but you’re resisting because of your ego ‘stuff’ and the way that it resists and distorts what’s real. Trust and take the steps anyway.”

“We can either fear the storm because we’re attempting to HOLD ON to the things that it’s blowing away or we can trust the storm because it’s showing us how to LET GO of the things that don’t serve us. Nothing REAL can be lost.”

“We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our own being; we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others, and for this purpose we endeavour to shine. We labour unceasingly to adorn and preserve this imaginary existence, and neglect the real. And if we possess calmness, or generosity, or truthfulness, we are eager to make it known, so as to attach these virtues to that imaginary existence. We would rather separate them from ourselves to join them to it; and we would willingly be cowards in order to acquire the reputation of being brave. A great proof of the nothingness of our being, not to be satisfied with the one without the other, and to renounce the one for the other! For he would be infamous who would not die to preserve his honour.”

“Many people define who they are, based upon what the world sees when it looks at them. They build themselves with their foundation set upon the perceptions of others. Do others think they are good, kind, smart, loving? But I define who I am, based upon the person who looks back at me in the mirror. If you were the only person on Earth, with nobody to see you, know your name, or ever be aware of your existence; what kind of person would you be? Live for the person who looks back at you in the mirror and be that person even if you are the last human being on Earth. Too many people live for what the world will think and will see; too few people live for their own soul. Are you smart, successful, got lots of super ideas? But those are not important questions. This is the most important question: do you know how to love? I do not care if nobody on Earth were to know my name; do I know my own soul? Do I know how to love? These are the questions I ask myself.”

“I am okay with the imperfection of my own story. We are alive thanks to our imperfect stories and we need to be okay with that. Straight lines have never led the way to colourful pictures. I am okay with all that I feel, with all the pieces of me; and so should you. Every part of my story has the potential to connect with another soul out there, and so does yours.”

“Unlike being nice, kindness is not about what you're portraying, but what you're doing...applying actual love to make the world a better place. Sure, you may smile nicely at the old woman on the bus, but kindness is what makes you give up your seat for her.... Niceness is a mask many folks can wear because that is simply a part of being in a society. ... The pretend politeness of niceness can get in the way of tactful honesty and constructive critique that can be essential to advancing people and projects to a higher plane. As I've gotten older, I've learned that being 'nice' about something can save you conflict, but often, being real about it can save you time. You just gotta learn when, where, and how to apply your realness. Nonetheless kindness always has a place in the game, even if it's just being kind to yourself. ... All you can do is try your best to be yourself and make a practice of being kind.”

“All we can really say is that things happen and when they do we filter them through what’s already happening inside ourselves – whether we’re aware of that or not - and then either move towards the truth about things or away from it.”

“A ‘Victim’ is highly unlikely to embrace gratitude and the idea that everything is a gift or blessing because they haven’t learned the necessary lessons from their ‘negative’ experiences and so their ego rests on the idea that life is the opposite of a blessing – a curse – in many ways. This isn’t because life actually is a ‘curse’ but because the Victim needs this to be the case so they can keep being what they think they need to be (not who they really are).”

“If we play an active role in becoming REAL, we’ll look back at how far we’ve come and be proud of the journey; if we play a passive role and just let things happen, then we’ll look back with regret at what we think we ‘lost’.”

“In general, we’re all so much stronger than we tend to believe we are – when you lean into ACCEPTANCE instead of resistance of a situation, then you can always turn it into something that reveals your strengths instead of something that feeds into your illusions of weakness.”

“When we’re HIGH on life, then it’s because we have managed to strip away and let go of all of the barriers within ourselves that hold us back from life’s pure signal; when we’re LOW on life (at rock bottom), then it’s because we stopped listening for so long that life stripped those barriers away and forced us to listen.”

“If we can do things to want nothing, do nothing, and become nothing whilst filling ourselves completely with life, then it’s probably pretty REAL; if we’re doing it to want ‘more’, do ‘more’, and become ‘more’, then we might be lapsing into being UNREAL.”

“We may wish and beg life to “let this cup pass from me” but, eventually, it will come to the point where we have to drink from it if we want to save our sanity and so all we can do is TRUST, take a sip, and know that we will ultimately find our realness at the bottom of the cup.”

“People admire inner bonfires that burn so bright, and out of ignorance to these things, they gather around and think that the bonfire is some kind of blessing on their behalf, is some kind of untouched thing that knows only the purity of everything. It's all ignorance. The larger the bonfire, and the brighter it burns, the more evident the fact that it has consumed more wood and more air than the smaller ones. You burn because you have to burn. And you're not burning for others, you're not burning to be a blessing; you burn because you have to burn.”

“The ultimate barometer for what’s actually going on inside you is to reverse engineer your unconscious intentions by the RESULTS you consistently keep getting and the current state of your life – not by what you consistently keep telling yourself.”

“When you don’t trust life and so you start testing it and looking for signs, then you’re not really testing life (because the truth can’t be tested – it just is) – you’re just testing your own ability to be selective with your attention and to tell your unconscious mind to keep a look out for things that could potentially mean something (based on your own criteria of what’s ‘meaningful’ which is almost based on your relationship between your ego and your shadow).”

“If we dare to dream, we must dare to wake up. When we come to rub our eyes wide open and face up to realness, we can clear our vision and curb a whirlwind of bewilderment that might break our mind apart, once fantasy wrangles with reality and our awareness denies the true colors of facts.
