"Oh, don't take life so seriously!
Because seriousness is a great dis-ease,
and not only a disease but a suicide also.
Be playful -- totally
because that is the only way to be living.
Life is a play, a leela.

If you can act and live as if acting and living in a dream
and still be a witness to it
then you will be in the cosmic flow, the Tao.

And to be in the cosmic flow is to be free --
free from oneself, the Ego.
The Ego is the seriousness, the disease,
and the Tao, the egoless existence, is the bliss,
the ecstasy."

~ Osho

It's interesting. To be in our own little worlds and at certain points we have moments that stop us in our tracks to realize there is so so much more. We are such a tiny dot and our dot is sometimes extremely self-focused.

Robots we are at times. To be efficient and "productive". Life is weird. What is there to know? What is there we need to do? To truly feeling connected, appreciated, and to help one another thrive.

You. You have an abundance of potential inside of yourself. You know you do and you can feel it growing. Water it and let it go. May the flowering of your soul surface and always try to reach the sunlight.

Hm yes, I only am made up of one though perhaps I can do a handful of mighty things in this lifetime. Or even many many mighty little things will do as well. I suppose it doesn't hurt to strive for both.

“No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.” - Ansel Adams

I should stop trying so hard to be my Self, and just be myself.

I've just more intentionally decided that with each year I shall perfect being an Anabelle Dimang. Then I got humbly excited

My heart. My heart sometimes feels like it wants to take care of all of the other hearts.

There are relatively grand decisions you'll have to make in your life. The answer will come to you intuitively...then you may go into a state of doubt and think of other possible options. A heaviness in your mind. Layers and layers of thought. But alas thy heart steadies and you hear what life was suggesting the entire time. A cloud lifts and clarity presents itself to you once again.

What mighty and many things my little hands of 23 years have done thus far. We've found loves, we've found craft, and we've found many thoughts to ponder.

Cooking up some breaded chicken, alfredo from scratch, baked brussel sprouts, and garlic bread while Alex does his law schoolwork across the room. Classical music overpowers the heat from the oven and all of the windows are open because it's nice out. Tranquility in our own worlds and in harmony together. Golly, this is life.

That moment your mind gets overwhelmed by your own life's potential.

December 2 2013 

Time goes by without thinking of waiting for us. I wish I could spend more moments with such wondrous souls that my life has met. I wish I could give all the gratitude I somehow carry but can't ever express enough! This heavenly burden of my time colliding with others. To think of all of the people in the world. To think of all of the worlds in my person.

An artist I booked today said the word 'momentum' during our talk and now it can't leave my mind. What a great word that seems to encapsulate this particular time in my life. Because I feel.....dare I say it, unstoppable. As if the world is growing and so am I. As the more I pour myself, the more that is wonderfully poured in my life. Everything is limitless as I remain open. Is this weird to share all of these feelings here? Aw well, I hope by you reading this some of this energy goes into your life because I have an abundance! I am mentally hugging the shiza out of the world.

"If you want to awaken all of humanity,
then awaken all of yourself.

If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.

Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation."
The great Lao Tzu

"Shut your eyes to the outside world. Direct your thoughts and words to the inside of you. The Master within you is the key to all the treasures in the world."

"Changing beliefs, emotional reactions, and destructive behaviors is through mastering your point of view, attention, and dissolving the false beliefs in your mind. When you learn to shift your Point of View you can literally move your self out of a Belief and out of an emotion. From a new point of view you will have the awareness to see the faulty logic of the beliefs behind the behavior. With the awareness of the false beliefs behind your actions you will be able to refrain from destructive behavior. Eliminating the false beliefs eliminates the triggers of your emotions. It is the elimination of the false beliefs that will dissolve the fear." 

"Wherever you go in the midst of movement and activity, carry your stillness within you. Then the chaotic movement around you will never overshadow your access to the reservoir of creativity, the field of pure potentiality."

"Be careful in your thoughts when you are alone. And be careful in your words when you are in a crowd"
