“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love – for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you from misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.”

Wise lady ❤️🙏. “What peace there may be in silence”. That is what meditation is about, getting rid of all those noises instead of pilling up with thoughts control. You can tell yourself as many affirmations, mantras as you want 24/7 but your subconscious mind is filled with thoughts then there’s no use just put you right back to that deep hole. Love how you put “You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars.; that’s the awareness to be harmonious to this universe as is. Practice acceptance and gratitude will get rid of suffering. I appreciate you Pinke, another truth seeker in this community. Have a peaceful Sunday! 🌻🌈🙏xxx
