observe life for what it is

so much fear and desire come from that commitment to "i am" - to being somebody. eventually they take us to anxiety and despair; life seems much more difficult and painful than it really is.
but when we just observe life for what it is, then it’s all right: the delights, the beauty, the pleasures are just that.

love

when we love, we always strive to become better than we are. when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny.
true love is love that allows you to reach your personal legend!
