Welcome to Litsy!

The same thing is true of your happiness and your sorrow. Sorrow, fear, and depression are all a kind of garbage. These bits of garbage are part of real life, and we must look deeply into their nature. You can practice in order to turn these bits of garbage into flowers.

Feeling validated and heard and a little less alone in the ways I conceptualize myself on the planet as I read this book.

What a wonderful little book filled with powerful insights. It is a slow read as you find yourself pausing and reflecting after each paragraph. It is a book to be savored and not to be rushed. It started to become more like a dear wise friend whom I could turn to from time to time to receive wisdom and guidance. Now I‘m sad I finished it, but will keep it close to reread key passages.

“Knowing that words can create happiness or suffering, I vow to speak truthfully, with words that inspire self-confidence, joy and hope. I am determined not to spread news that I do not know to be certain and not to criticize or condemn things of which I am not sure. I will refrain from uttering words that can cause division or discord or words that can cause the family or community to break.”

"The true declaration of love is, "Dear one, I am here for you", because the most precious gift you can give to your loved one is your true presence, with body and mind united in solidity and freedom"

"Pick up a novel..."? ?

"Stop! The street sign reminds you. Stop running because life is here, in the present moment.
The address of my true home is clear: life, here and now. Peace is something that becomes possible the moment you stop"

I'm into book sleeves now thanks to Litsy. So happily enjoying this DW themed one!

"Remember the words of the Buddha, 'the past no longer exists, and the future is not here yet.' The only moment in which we can be truly alive is the present moment."

Wishing everyone a beautiful and peaceful day, hug your loved ones extra tight ?

"Breathing in, I am mindful that my heart is working night and day for me.
Breathing out, I smile to my heart.

When you touch and embrace you heart with the energy of mindfulness, you are already practicing love"

Thanks @missnavigation for recommending Your True Home, will be great to read more daily wisdom throughout the new year 😄

This might be one book that everyone should read in his or her life. It really makes you appreciate things and focus on living a full life. Wow. Much needed for busy and hurried people.

LITerally so relieving to read after working for 13.5 hours ✨

"Breathing in, I know that I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know that I am breathing out."
