This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. There is my creed.
– D.H. Lawrence (via reluctantbuddha) Via the reluctant buddhaWhen finding your true self and detaching from your ego keep these 6 thoughts in mind.

People only see what they are prepared to see.

– Judith, Where The Wild Things Are (2009). (via flickflickflicker) (via yeahimrad) Via yeahimrad.There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
– Woodrow T. Wilson (via reluctantbuddha) Via the reluctant buddhaYou are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
