    “a real sign of progress is when we no longer punish ourselves for our imperfections.”

    Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 53)

      letting go

      doesn’t mean forgetting;

      it means we stop carrying

      the energy of the past

      into the present

      Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 49)

        “reminder: you can love people and simultaneously not allow them to harm you”

        Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 39)

          if you measure

          the length

          of your ego,

          it will equal

          the distance

          between you

          and your freedom

          Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 31)

            “what we face internally is a microcosm of what humanity faces globally—this is why growing our self-love is a medicine for our earth”

            Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 30)

              an apology to past lovers:

i wasn't ready
to treat you well

i didn't know love
was meant to be selfless

i didn't know my pain
had control over my actions

i didn't know how far away
i was from myself
and how that distance
always kept us miles apart

(blind heart)

~  Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 23)

                “Spiritual effort and the joy that comes from understanding life go hand in hand like physical exertion and rest. Without physical exertion, there is no joy in rest; without spiritual effort, there can be no joyful understanding of life.”

                Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 105)

                  “Be attentive to what you do; never consider anything unworthy of your attention.”

                  Confucius, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 105)

                    “sometimes deeper mental clarity

                    is preceded by great internal storms”

                    Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 21)

                      don't run away
from heavy emotions

honor the anger;
give pain the space
it needs to breathe

this is how we let go

~  Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 17)

                        when we disconnect
from our pain
we stop growing

when we are dominated
by our pain
we stop growing

freedom is observing our pain
letting it go
and moving forward

(middle path)

~ Yung Pueblo, Inward (Page 11)

                            “Your true self does not speak in words or banal phrases. Its voice comes from deep within you, from the substrata or your psyche, from something embedded physically within you. It emanates from your uniqueness, and it communicates through sensations and powerful desires that seem to transcend you. You cannot ultimately understand why you are drawn to certain activities or forms of knowledge. This cannot really be verbalized or explained. It is simply a fact of nature.”

                            Robert Greene, The Daily Laws (Page 115)

                              “Everyone weighs sleep against other priorities. This plasticity is what gives scope for the individual to be exploited, by herself and others, as sleep’s nonessential component is eroded. Sleep inequalities persist because their consequences can be deferred – but they cannot be deferred indefinitely.”

                              Jonathan White, Aeon
