Our time in our mothers’ wombs was a wonderful time. We did not have to worry about food or drink. We were protected from heat and cold. We didn't have to do homework or housework. Protected in our mothers' wombs, we felt quite safe. We didn't have to worry about anything at all. No worry is wonderful. I believe many of us still remember that time spent in our mothers’ wombs. Many people have the impression that they were once in a safe and wonderful paradise and now they have lost that paradise. We think somewhere out there is a beautiful place without worry or fear, and we long to get back there. Paradise was inside of our mothers. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Be yourself! You don’t have to be another person to make others like you or be with you. Different people have different styles and uniqueness. Spend time with yourself and get to know some qualities that you have. People will like you for who you are, not who you want to be.

Understand that you don’t have to be in a relationship to be happy. It may be difficult to see your friends going off and dating people or feeling like there’s something wrong with you for not dating. But you don’t have to date to feel like you’re part of a group or surrounded by people that care about you. ~wikiHow

Gratitude is one of the sweet shortcuts to finding peace of mind and
happiness inside. No matter what is going on outside of us, there’s
always something we could be grateful for.  ~Barry Neil Kaufman

It may seem like the sheer-shirt-over-bralet combination is something that only celebrities and off-duty models can pull off. Not so! It’s a casual, cool look that can easily be deployed as a dressier weekend look — especially if the weather stays this hot through fall.

Step 1: Find a seamless bralette or cropped tank. It’s important that there aren’t any embellishments (lest you snag your sheer sweater), patterns, or colors on the bra, because all these make this look seem like more of a concerted effort for attention.

It should also be a long-line bra, which means it covers a little more of the rib cage underneath the underwire — you’ll want this because it’s a little more modest and makes the look appear more intentional than just slapping on any old Victoria’s Secret bra underneath. Try one with thin straps that look nothing like normal elastic bra straps.

Step 2: Slip on a sheer top or gauzy sweater.

Step 3: When it gets colder, add a dark blazer on top. You can also push up your jacket’s sleeves to reveal the sweater’s sleeves at the wrist, for a more styled look.

We may engage in argument defending our point of view. We may think that in contradicting others we preserve the purity of the Teaching, but if we behave in this way we only cultivate a distorted view. To remain silent is my advice from the Heart. ~Aro Community

When you are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself
and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

Don’t listen to anybody except your own consciousness. When you are
angry, you lose consciousness, you become unconscious. Anger covers you
like a black cloud. You can commit murder, you can destroy life. But
when you are loving, bells of joy start ringing in your heart. You start
feeling your consciousness rising. And if in love also you lose
consciousness, become unconscious, then remember: you are calling lust,
love. And this kind of love is not the right thing, because it is not
going to help you to grow, to expand, to attain the fulfillment of your
potential. ~Osho
