Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.
Ester asked why people are sad.
“That’s simple,” says the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
-Paulo Coelho
No matter how grave a problem you are stuck in, to resolve it you must know the
difference between 'thinking' and 'worrying'. Reflecting upon it, however complex
a problem may be, it soon gets solved; whereas worrying about the problem,
you are consumed by it.
-Deep Trivedi
A pretty face may be enough to catch a man, but it takes character and good nature to hold him.

Life has been compared with a battle and rightly so, as each day comes up with a new set of challenges which we must meet. One cannot just shy away from problems if he has to survive. He has to meet to challenges with courage.
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be.
-Socrates
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.
