“No one who is being himself is going to be approved of all the time. The whole world could love you, but if you do not love yourself, you would not even notice. The opposite is also true - the whole world could disapprove of you, but if you love yourself, you would not even notice. Accept yourself within you and the entire world becomes totally acceptable.” IfsWorldWholeAcceptingLove YouAcceptanceOppositesIndependenceWhole WorldLove YourselfAcceptableWithin YouApprovedAccepting Yourself Author:Bartholomaus
“When you struggle against this moment, you're actually struggling against the entire universe. Instead, you can make the decision that today you will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. This means that your acceptance of this moment is total and complete. You accept things as they are, not as you wish they were in this moment. This is important to understand. You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.” MeanImportantDifferentWholeMomentsRealityTodayUniverseWishDecisionAcceptingStruggleAcceptanceMoments In TimeAccepting Reality Author:Deepak Chopra
“Humility consists of knowing that in this world the whole soul, not only what we term the ego in its totality, but also the supernatural part of the soul, which is God present in it, is subject to time and to the vicissitudes of change. There must be absolutely acceptance of the possibility that everything material in us should be destroyed. But we must simultaneously accept and repudiate the possibility that the supernatural part of the soul should disappear.” WorldShouldSoulWholeTermAcceptingKnowingSubjectsPossibilityThis WorldAcceptanceHumilityMaterialsEgoDisappearDestroyedTotalityVicissitudes Author:Simone Weil
“As the acceptance of democracy brings a certain life-giving power, so it has its own sanctions and comforts. Perhaps the most obvious one is the curious sense which comes to us from time to time, that we belong to the whole, that a certain basic well being can never be taken away from us whatever the turn of fortune.” GivingWellsWholeCertainTurnsDemocracyTakenAcceptanceComfortFortuneObviousCuriousWell BeingSanctions Book:Democracy and Social Ethics Source: Democracy and Social Ethics
