New Years Resolution

Start meditating.  Why you ask?  haha… ok, so you didn’t ask.  I’ll tell you anyway.  Heard lots of good things about it and I feel that I need to start developing some inner peace.  Too many voices.  hahaha…. maybe i should just take some schizo pills.  All jokes aside, been reading some books, one introduced by my cousin – The Art of Being by Eric Fromm.  It talks about how modern society has become very focused on ‘having’ rather than ‘being’.  Lama Surya Das says, “we reduce life to an ongoing competition.  Trained and conditioned to believe that life is about achievement, about winning, losing and self-assertion… ” rather than on self-actualization and … yeah… i should pick up the book again and see what Eric Fromm really said… heehee.

“Your outer world reflects the state of your inner world.”

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your heart.  Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.”

Ok.  enough of these random quotations.  i don’t think they’re making sense…
