Self Development Book Quotes

If you are in a dire circumstance, emotions and feelings, the less pleasurable ones, perhaps, the more painful ones will cling to you. On the other hand, if the circumstances you are in are the best, perhaps, the one with a lover or family, a pleasant set of emotions and feelings cling to your personality. Just like the sand clinging to your glasses is natural on a beach, emotions and feelings clinging to your personality are natural products of diverse circumstances.”

“The baggage of past memories, the present contradictions, and the many choices from the future. “They are all just words,” I say, as I become aware of my breath. My bong feels ignored, my mind feels betrayed and the incessant pain in my chest ceases. I drop everything. I let go.”
