We believe in the interconnectedness of all things. ✨

Everything is deeply intertwingled. We are all connected. We are all ONE.✨

“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts,
you return to source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”

The secret to eternal happiness is: Do not argue with fools.

If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit. #selfcare

“To make a difference in someone’s life you don’t have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful, or perfect. You just have to care.” Mandy Hale (@MissMandyHale)

“all the people we have met and all the people we have yet to meet, are meant to exist so we can find them. so we both could exchange a set of directions, which will guide us to the next place we are meant to go.” r.m. drake

Ikigai (生き甲斐, "a reason for being") is a Japanese concept referring to having direction or purpose in life, providing sense of fulfillment and toward which a being can give actions, giving her/him/them satisfaction and a sense of meaning. ❤️ #ikigai 🎯 sloww.co/ikigai-book/

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi ❤️ #harmony 🎯

Kaizen (改善) is the Japanese word for improvement. The philosophy of continual improvement can be distilled into 6 steps: standardize, measure, compare, innovate, standardize (again), repeat.

No matter how good we are, we can always be better. #kaizen

“To be humble, to be kind:
It is a giving of the peace in your mind.
To a stranger, to a friend,
To give in such a way that has no end…
We are love, we are one,
We are how we treat each other when the day is done…"

"Empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, and it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” Bruce Lee✨

WISDOM OF THE SOUL:
Seek opportunities… Not guarantees.
Life is what’s coming… Not what was.
When things go wrong… Don’t go with them.
We don’t have to attend every argument we’re invited to.
Our eyes are in front because it is more important to LOOK AHEAD than to look behind.

Adronitis is frustration with how long it takes to get to know someone.

@ObscureSorrows @ailsa_writes “If I share something with you that’s very difficult, I’d rather you say, ‘I don’t know what to say right now. I’m just so glad you told me.’ The truth is: Rarely can a response make something better. What makes something better is CONNECTION.”
