Changes

There is perhaps no more succinct expression of the way I think things should always be. Too bad I didn’t realise this when I was a lot younger :)

The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life. – Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)

Another Tolstoy gem: If you want to be happy, be.

Oh I love that Jase!

Here’s another one I really like:

“There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.”

Without knowing what I am and why I am here, life is impossible.

Live, the only way you know how :)

I know someone who would really appreciate that particular one. I know it – also a Tolstoy :)

A Lao Tzu for the road: Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
