The Sacred Spectrum

Silence is a way of life........

amargedom:

“I’m the kind of person who likes to be by himself. To put a finer point on it, I’m the type of person who doesn’t find it painful to be alone. I find spending an hour or two every day running alone, not speaking to anyone, as well as four or five hours alone at my desk, to be neither difficult nor boring. I’ve had this tendency ever since I was young, when, given a choice, I much preferred reading books on my own or concentrating on listening to music over being with someone else. I could always think of things to do by myself.”

purplebuddhaquotes:

“I will breathe. I will think of solutions. I will not let my worry control me. I will not let my stress level control me. I will simply breath. And it will be OK. Because I don’t quit.”

serenosky:

“Your self-esteem is a very precious thing, but it doesn’t come from trying to please every Tom, Dick and Harry. It basically comes from having come to the point of telling them: “Hey, you don’t like me? That’s too bad, but who cares! I don’t need friends for whom I need to bend backwards and forwards and sideways in order for them to pretend that they like me.”
