FLB: Faith & Love & Buddha

Accept yourself
what a stupid boring world we would live in
if all humans were exactly same
learn acceptance of yourself just the way you are
existence has given birth to you
and accepts you unconditionally
you are breathing and alive with its aliveness…a miracle in itself
each and every individual in unique
and irreplaceable in this vast cosmos
the very beauty of you remains its unique signature
Swami Rajneesh

Aloneness is the joy of being just yourself. It is being joyous with yourself, it is enjoying your own company. There are very few people who enjoy their own company. And it is a very strange world: nobody enjoys his company and everybody wants others to enjoy his company! If they don’t enjoy he feels insulted — and alone he feels disgusted with himself. In fact, if YOU cannot enjoy your own company, who else is going to enjoy it?
Osho

Develop the mind of equilibrium.
You will always be getting praise and blame,
but do not let either affect the poise of the mind:
follow the calmness, the absence of pride.
Buddha

That which is threatening to the ego is liberating for the heart. By turning to face the inarguable facts of nature, the habit of investing in unstable realms is interrupted. It shines the light of wisdom on the issue, reveals that we’ve been looking for certainty in the wrong place, and thus frees up the attention to realize where security can be found.
