Marcel’s Quotes

“Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.”
― Osho

“Tell yourself that this is the place you’re meant to be, at least for now. Let your present situation be your entire world, at least for now. Then you’ll sense something far better than the discord of endless desires: the ease and grace of acceptance and the joy of truly being where you are.”
― Steve Taylor, The Clear Light: Spiritual Reflections and Meditations
