"Rather than fighting with the darkness, which is impossible anyway, switch on the light. Rather than fighting with ourselves, trying to improve ourselves, trying to live up to others' ideas of who or what we should be, we can start by simply accepting ourselves as we are. If existence has invited us to be here, who else's permission do we need to accept ourselves as we are? Once we relax into this acceptance, once we stop pretending to be other than how we are, once we stop struggling to impress others (who are struggling equally hard to impress us), once we stop trying to defend ourselves, justify ourselves...Once we stop trying to hide our wounds, even from ourselves, but rather open them to the air and the light, the healing happens on its own...There is no greater freedom than to be free of others' expectations, to be able to live our lives spontaneously, with awareness." ~Osho
Yep, nice one, thanks for posting it.
This quote helped me today, and for the rest of my life. Thank you.
Funny, I found myself at this site by who knows how and then I stumble upon this quote. Hmmm... It is funny how life will speak to you if one is willing to accept it's voice from the most random of sources. It was just what I needed to hear, I mean, read! Thanks for posting it!
