“I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.”

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

“To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping."

"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."

“It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.”

  

"I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart."

A Buddhist Zen Master  was giving a lesson to his students on dealing with stress, often referred to as  Stress Management.  He raised a glass of water and asked his students,

 

“How heavy do you think this glass of water is?”

 

His students’ answers ranged from 2 ounces to 1 pound.

 

The Zen Master replied, “The absolute weight does not matter:  It matters on how long you hold it.”

 

He continued, “If I hold it a minute, it is OK.”

 

“If I hold it for one hour, I will develop an ache in the arm holding the glass of water.”

 

“If I hold it for one day, you will probably have to call an ambulance for me.”

 

“It is the exact same weight, but the longer it, the heavier it becomes.”

 

“If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burdens becoming increasingly heavier.”

 

“What you have to do is put the glass down, and rest for a while before holding it again.”

 

‘We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.”

 

“So before you return home tonight, put down the burdens of your life.  Don’t carry them back home.  You can pick them up again tomorrow.”

 

“Whatever burdens you are carrying on your shoulders, put them down for a moment if you can.  Pick them up again later when you have rested.  Rest and relax.  Life is short.  Enjoy it.”

Lust is easy. Love is hard. Like is most important.
