And yet another of my favorite quotes, found in my book is: "The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates. For sure, when we are willing to look at ourselves objectively, and talk to ourselves about what we see, that is when we grow exponentially, if the self-talk is fruitful. Oftentimes a quote will prompt us to do that.
Thanks for shining your spotlight on your favorite quote, and sharing it with all of us Rob

' 'Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.'
This verse is talking about the conscious self within. The mention of which is also in the books of Ramana Maharishi and Ashtavakra.
I quote Ashtavakra
'
If you separate yourself from the physical body and rest in consciousness then at this very moment you will be happy, at peace, and free of bondage.
You are not perceived by the eyes or other senses.
Unattached and without form, you are the witness of the whole universe.'

This journey is not about adding anything new to who you already are. That’s because there’s nothing missing. It’s about subtracting what you are not. For it’s with subtraction that you uncover what’s hidden. Robert White. The Maestro Monologue (Kindle Locations 164-166). The Mind Adventure Inc.. Kindle Edition.
It gives a different perspective on growth. Sometimes the things you add to your life to achieve growth are the same things you need to remove. An analogy would be the trainer wheels of a bicycle. You add them to the bike as you learn to balance. But once you grow confident, you remove them. It made me realize that growth is a balance between adding and subtracting. It is a matter of knowing the timing on when to add or subtract.

Remember, its the feeeeelings that give us our experience of life, not our thoughts. The fragile leaf is feeeeeling fragile... oh that it might feel as stable as the truck of the tree upon which it clings. Perhaps it has no choice, but we (as human beings) certainly do Thank you Rob

I am absolutely with you there!Honest-reviewer wrote: ↑03 May 2022, 12:07 One of my favourite quotes mentioned in the book is “The tragedy of life is not death; rather, it is what we let die inside of us while we live” by Norman Cousins. I like this because it emphasises on how important it is to live your life happily and joyfully. If not, then living becomes as tragic as death.
We tend to become so encompassed by the routines of life that we tend to forget what we love, become almost anhedonic about it all. It makes me think of this one quote I read a long while back, paraphrased, it goes something like "when life pulls you by the wrist and shout 'here! this! look at this, focus on that', it is up to you to pluck it back, place your palm on your being and say 'No, this is important'". We cannot go far if we don't keep our love and passion alive

Your life is your work of art."
Reminds me that I should do what makes me happy and live my life to the fullest because I deserve to and I am allowed to choose what to do and do it freely because that is my own work of art .. it's my life not others and I take responsibility for the results not them so I'm gonna do what makes me pleased not them
