“There is no need to search; achievement leads to nowhere. It makes no difference at all, so just be happy now! Love is the only reality of the world, because it is all One, you see. And the only laws are paradox, humor and change. There is no problem, never was, and never will be. Release your struggle, let go of your mind, throw away your concerns, and relax into the world. No need to resist life, just do your best. Open your eyes and see that you are far more than you imagine. You are the world, you are the universe; you are yourself and everyone else, too! It's all the marvelous Play of God. Wake up, regain your humor. Don't worry, just be happy. You are already free!”
― Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives

― Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives

“لماذا نحبه؟ لأننا نحبه. ولماذا هو بالذات؟
لأنه هو الذي كان يجب أن نحبه، هو الذي كنا نبحثُ عنه، هو الذي كان في خيالنا وضميرنا.. ولهذا فالأصحُّ أن نقول أننا أحببناه ثم قابلناه لا أن نقول قابلناه فأحببناه”
― عادل صادق, معنى الحب

“LAW 25
Re-Create Yourself

Do not accept the roles that society foists on you. Re-create yourself by forging a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience.

Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions – your power will be enhanced and your character will seem larger than life.”
― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

“It all boils down to one thing...it is your ‘relationship’ to the source, and that relationship to that which we call God, or don’t call God, or don’t even know...is God. It is ALL that really matters...when you surrender, and stop resisting, and stop trying to change that which you cannot change, but be in the moment, be fully open to the blessings you have already received, and those that are yet to come to you, and stand in that space of gratitude, and honor, and claim that for yourself, and look at where you are, and how far you have come, and what you’ve gotten, and what you’ve accomplished, and who you are. When you can claim ‘that’, and see that, the literal vibration of your life will change. The Vibration of Your Life Will Change.”
― Oprah Winfrey

“When the talk about my troubles was loudest, I did the thing I've always spoken of most . I got still and listened for the answer to What is this here to teach me? The answer, first and foremost? Lay your ego down. Step out of your ego so you can recognize the truth. As soon as I did that, I was able to see the role I had played in creating "my circumstances," without blaming other people. And -- bingo! -- I realized that all the noise about my struggle was a reflection of my personal angst and fear.”
― Oprah Winfrey

“لا يعني الصبر أن تتحمل المصاعب سلباً، بل يعني أن تكون بعيد النظر بحيث تثق بالنتيجة النهائية التي ستتمخض عن أي عملية. ماذا يعني الصبر؟ إنه يعني أن تنظر إلى الشوكة وترى الوردة، أن تنظر إلى الليل وترى الفجر. أما نفاد الصبر فيعني أن تكون قصير النظر ولا تتمكن من رؤية النتيجة. إن عشاق الله لا ينفد صبرهم مطلقاً، لأنهم يعرفون أنه لكي يصبح الهلال بدراً، فهو يحتاج إلى وقت.”
― إليف شافاق, The Forty Rules of Love

“ماذا تعرف عن عامة الناس؟ السكارى والشحاذون واللصوص والمومسات والمقامرون، الذين لا عزاء لهم، الذين يتعرضون لأشدّ أنواع الظلم والبؤس. هل يمكننا أن نحبّ مخلوقات الله جميعها؟ إنه اختبار صعب، ولا يستطيع إلا القليل من الناس اجتيازه.”
― إليف شافاق, The Forty Rules of Love

“إن الطريقة التي نرى فيها الله ما هي إلا انعكاس للطريقة التي نرى فيها أنفسنا. فإذا لم يكن الله يجلب إلى عقولنا سوى الخوف والملام فهذا يعني أن قدرًا كبيرًا من الخوف والملامة يتدفق في نفوسنا. أما إذا رأينا الله مفعما بالمحبة والرحمة، فإننا نكون كذلك.”
― إليف شافاق, The Forty Rules of Love

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“He stared up at the stars: and it seemed to him then that they were dancers, stately and graceful, performing a dance almost infinite in its complexity. He imagined he could see the very faces of the stars; pale, they were, and smiling gently, as if they had spent so much time above the world, watching the scrambling and the joy and the pain of the people below them, that they could not help being amused every time another little human believed itself the center of its world, as each of us does.”
― Neil Gaiman, Stardust

― Warsan Shire
