Thoughts

For the longest time, I struggled with meditation. Everything changed when I discovered vipassana meditation - the oldest form of Buddhist meditation.

I love lists. Especially lists with tips on how to live better. Here are some of my favourites.

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." - Carl Jung

"We suffer more in imagination than in reality." - Seneca

Memento mori  (Latin for "remember you die") is a Stoic reminder of the inevitability of death.

“Friends are better than money. Almost anything money can do, friends can do better. In so many ways a friend with a boat is better than owning a boat." - Kevin Kelley

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” – Viktor Frankl

“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him.” - Viktor Frankl

"Being poor is not having too little, it is wanting more." - Seneca
