“Do not let anything that happens in life be important enough that you’re willing to close your heart over it.”
― Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

“Imagine if you used relationships to get to know other people, rather than to satisfy what is blocked inside of you. If you’re not trying to make people fit into your preconceived notions of what you like and dislike, you will find that relationships are not really that difficult. If you’re not so busy judging and resisting people based upon what is blocked inside of you, you will find that they are much easier to get along with—and so are you. Letting go of yourself is the simplest way to get closer to others.”
― Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

“To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.”

“The truth is that most of life will unfold in accordance with forces far outside your control, regardless of what your mind says about it”
