@ Dreamer & Tatt

Haven't figured out how to be a unicorn yet. Even seeing one is tricky business.

But being a wizard ain't half bad... and it is really nice when being a wizard is "being yourself."

something along these lines


That was too much :lol:

Serious head now. (From a book). Some guy in ancient times asks a philosopher nine questions. One of them is, what is the easiest thing in the world? To which the answer comes: "To give advice".

So I think it's healthy to be cautious of taking advice.

The best advice I ever learned is never to be cautious about taking advice.

:?: :?
 
"The best advice comes from within"
Just popped into my head, though i am sure i have heard or seen it somewhere to make that happen :p
 
How have I never seen this thread before?? I love it! So much incredible advice, and so many beautiful sentiments...

Definitely some of the best advice I have ever received! :lol:

"We are all compost in training." - Ramshackle Glory :love:

"I meet people everyday who can't bring themselves to believe that the world is gonna change... As if it's ever done anything else." - also Ramshackle Glory :love:

"The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same." - Carlos Casteneda

These three quotes (amongst many others) have proven to be extremely meaningful for me, and have helped guide me through some very rough times in recent years.

The third one is particularly meaningful to me, because it so perfectly describes one of the very first and most powerful lessons I ever learned from the mushroom teachers. I discovered this quote some time after learning this lesson, and it resonated with my experience so profoundly that the quote manifests itself in my train of thought on a daily basis. :)
 
Not sure if it's been said before as I skipped after page 5, but:

Worry is the worst misuse of imagination.

also,

You'll get over it - my father

No pity for self abuse - also my father

No sympathy for the devil - Hunter S. Thompson
 
All advice and teachings I've seen, listened to and experienced are all equally shared and helpful. I will contribute with something that aids me when needed.

"Just be."
 
Not sure who said it first but,

"Your thoughts and actions are like stones cast into still waters, creating ripples"

Also,

"Go with the flow"

And...

"Row row, row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream"

The greatest thing
I've ever learned
is just to love
and be loved
in return.

“So, friends, every day do something that won't compute...Give your approval to all you cannot understand...Ask the questions that have no answers. Put your faith in two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years...Laugh. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts....Practice resurrection.”

“I dislike the thought that some animal has been made miserable to feed me. If I am going to eat meat, I want it to be from an animal that has lived a pleasant, uncrowded life outdoors, on bountiful pasture, with good water nearby and trees for shade.”

“Perhaps all the good that ever has come here has come because people prayed it into the world.”

-Wendell Berry


"Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you."

Walt Whitman
 
Technically "Nature Boy" was written by Eden Ahbez, a beatnik, but I still think I like Nat's version best.
