[ i do…] #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#2. Editke," my teacher says, "all your ecstasy in life is going to come from the inside." It will take me years to really understand what he means. #Quote by Edith Eger

#3. We cannot choose to have a life free of hurt. But we can choose to be free, to escape the past, no matter what befalls us, and to embrace the possible. #Quote by Edith Eger

#4. Can still windmills, still produce wind? Can a heart still love, when a heart no longer is? #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#5. Twas the night before Christmas
And the moon was sitting high
The kids were in bed,
Kissed and snuggled in tight

The gifts were all wrapped
There was love in the air
It only came once
So it was handled with care

The curtains were drawn
The cookies were bit
It was time to blow out
All those candles we'd lit

The kids would soon wake
With laughter in their hearts
We had a big day ahead
And early it would start

Laughter's and squeals
Jumps on the bed
Screaming, "Get up"!
"Get up!" as they fled

Wrappings and ribbons
Thrown everywhere
"Oh, I love you Mom and Dad!"
Neither did spare

Family arrives, Carolers sing
Stories were told
Of childhood memories
This was true love
True love was in the air
And it only came once
So it was handled with care

Now the gifts have been opened
And the food is all gone
The songs were all sung
And the guests have gone home

It was time to get back
To life's normal things
It was time to put away
All that the holidays bring

You'll go to your office
She'll go to her room
He'll reach for his game
I guess I'll grab the broom

Christmas had come
And Christmas had went
It only comes once a year
But it is time well spent #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#6. Every few months or so at home, Pops had to have Taiwanese 'Mian. Not the Dan-Dan Mian you get at Szechuan restaurants or in Fuchsia Dunlop's book, but Taiwanese Dan-Dan. The trademark of ours is the use of clear pork bone stock, sesame paste, and crushed peanuts on top. You can add chili oil if you want, but I take it clean because when done right, you taste the essence of pork and the bitterness of sesame paste; the texture is somewhere between soup and ragout. Creamy, smooth, and still soupy. A little za cai (pickled radish) on top, chopped scallions, and you're done. I realized that day, it's the simple things in life. It's not about a twelve-course tasting of unfamiliar ingredients or mass-produced water-added rib-chicken genetically modified monstrosity of meat that makes me feel alive. It's getting a bowl of food that doesn't have an agenda. The ingredients are the ingredients because they work and nothing more. These noodles were transcendent not because he used the best produce or protein or because it was locally sourced, but because he worked his dish. You can't buy a championship.
Did this old man invent Dan-Dan Mian? No. But did he perfect it with techniques and standards never before seen? Absolutely. He took a dish people were making in homes, made it better than anyone else, put it on front street, and established a standard. That's professional cooking. To take something that already speaks to us, do it at the highest level, and force everyone else to st #Quote by Eddie Huang

#7. I'd give you my heart, but you'd just give it back, so I'll give you my words instead. #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#8. If you say something as if it were, that isn't, is it considered a lie, or speaking it into existence? #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#9. Paint me perfect poetry. #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#10. Once upon a time,
is how stories begin... #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#11. ...the biggest prison is in your own mind, and in your pocket you already hold the key: the willingness to risk; the willingness to release yourself from judgment and reclaim your innocence, accepting and loving yourself for who you really are--human, imperfect, and whole. #Quote by Edith Eger

#12. How easily a life can become a litany of guilt and regret, a song that keeps echoing with the same chorus, with the inability to forgive ourselves. How easily the life we didn't live becomes the only life we prize. How easily we are seduced by the fantasy that we are in control, that we were ever in control, that the things we could or should have doneor said have the power, if only we had done or said them, to cure pain, to erase suffering, to vanish loss. How easily we can cling to – worship – the choice we think we could or should have made. #Quote by Edith Eva Eger

#13. You know what would be awesome? ... If I could have a machete. #Quote by Molly Looby

#14. As a man thinketh so is he?
The faith of a mustard seed?
I planted these words in my thoughts, and still, mind wound up lost, between my dreams and reality. #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#15. People say talking to yourself is the first sign of madness. It's not. It's eye bloody spy. #Quote by Molly Looby

#16. All your ecstasy in life is going to come from the inside, #Quote by Edith Eger

#17. I don't want what love is. I want what love is supposed to be. #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#18. Star light, Star bright
First star I see tonight…

I whispered your name to a star last night
Softly, yet so bold
I closed my eyes, and saw your face
I spoke those words untold

I wish I may, I wish I might
It shouted from my soul
Have this wish, I wish tonight
The wish I can't let go... #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#19. I also want to say that there is no hierarchy of suffering. There's nothing that makes my pain worse or better than yours, no graph on which we can plot the relative importance of one sorrow versus another. People say to me, "Things in my life are pretty hard right now, but I have no right to complain -- it's not Auschwitz." This kind of comparison can lead us to minimize or diminish our own suffering. Being a survivor, being a "thriver" requires absolute acceptance of what was and what is. If we discount our pain, or punish ourselves for feeling lost or isolated or scared about the challenges in our lives, however insignificant these challenges may seem to someone else, then we're still choosing to be victims. We're not seeing our choices. We're judging ourselves. #Quote by Edith Eger

#20. I really love Scrabble. I played it with my mother growing up. We took it everywhere with us. We didn't know then about the two letter words. Who knew that AA, or more controversially, ZA, or QI were words? We were a games family generally. #Quote by Meg Wolitzer

#21. i often sit and wonder
i often sit and dream
i often
sit and wait
for the one that's just for me
i search the many faces
in the crowds of people i see
exploring,
seeking,
looking for,
the one that it could be.

is it Mister Blue Collar?
is it Mister Too Clean?
is it Mister Holy One
which was made for me?

then i stop and think
of the biggest catastrophe -
what if this man
i'm waiting for

doesn't even recognize me?

#22. For every nine people who denounce innovation only one will encourage it...For every nine people who do things the way they have always been done, only one will ever wonder if there is a better way. For every nine people who stand in line in front of a locked building, only one will ever come around and check the back door. Our progress as a species rests squarely on the shoulders of that tenth person. The nine are satisfied with things they are told valuable. Person 10 determines from himself what has value. #Quote by Za Rinpoche

#23. I want to make one thing perfectly clear. When I talk about victims and survivors, I am not blaming victims -- so many of whom never had a chance. #Quote by Edith Eger

#24. When you can't go in through a door, go in through a window #Quote by Edith Eger

#25. ...By the time I would finish school I'll be fifty? He smiled.
"You're going to be fifty anyhow #Quote by Edith Eva Eger

#26. To be passive is to let others decide for you. To be aggressive is to decide for others. To be assertive is to decide for yourself.

In myths, nothing good comes from gloating. You have to let the gods maintain the image of their singular power.

I did not yet know that nightmares know no geography, that guilt and anxiety wander borderless.

It is a reflex to expect the bad with the good.

I don't know what fears kept hidden only grow more fierce. I don't know that my habits of pretending are only making us worse.

Maybe moving forward also meant circling back.

There are always two worlds. The one that I choose and the one that I deny, which inserts itself without my permission.

To change our behavior, we must change our feelings and to change our feelings, we must change our thoughts.

Freedom is bout choice - about choosing compassion, humor, optimism, intuition, curiosity and self-expression.

To be free is to live in the present.

When you have something to prove, you are not free.

When we grieve, it's not just over what happened - we grieve for what didn't happen.

You can't heal what you can't feel.

It's easier to hold someone or something else responsible for your pain than to take responsibility for ending your own victimhood.

Our painful experiences aren't a liability, they are a gift. They give us perspective and meaning, a #Quote by Edith Eva Eger

#27. I can make the choice that all of us can make, I can't ever change the past but there is a light I can safe, it is mine, the one that I am living right now… this precious moment… #Quote by Edith Eger

#28. Nothing, is what it appears to be, when it's only with your eyes you see. #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#29. Romantic love is temporary. Real love is not what you feel, it's what you do. #Quote by Edith Eger

#30. Things aren't important, but beauty is. #Quote by Edith Eva Eger

#31. We all have a choice, to pay attention to what have lost or to put attention to what we still have... #Quote by Edith Eger

#32. even in death, his last breath was poetry
existing in the wind
and on the breeze of
"it used to be likes"
forever remembering,
yet never reliving
his life
will never be what it used to be like. #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#33. Tonight, can we just pretend that you want me too? #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#34. Small as we are in the big scheme of universe and time, each of us is a little mechanism that keeps the whole wheel spinning. And what will we power with the wheel of our own life? Will we keep pushing the same piston of loss or regret? Will we reengage and reenact all the hurts of our own abandonment? Will we make our children pick up the tab for our losses? Or will we take the best of what we know and let a new crop flourish from the field of our life? #Quote by Edith Eger

#35. There is no hierarchy of suffering. There's nothing that makes my pain worse or better than yours. #Quote by Edith Eger

#36. Love means letting go. Love is forgiving yourself. #Quote by Edith Eger

#37. Zombies don't exist. #Quote by Molly Looby

#38. It's the first time I see that we have a choice: to pay attention to what we've lost or to pay attention to what we still have. #Quote by Edith Eger

#39. I don't want you to hear my story and say, "My own suffering is less significant." I want you to hear my story and say, "If she can do it, then so can I! #Quote by Edith Eger

#40. ...to find his way out of victimhood he needed to come to terms with his impotence and his power, the ways he had been injured and the ways he had hurt, his pride and his shame. The only antidote to brokenness is the whole self. #Quote by Edith Eger

#41. Magda was competitive and rebellious; I was the peacemaker, hustling between my sisters, soothing their conflicts, hiding my own thoughts. How easily we can make even the warmth and safety of family into a kind of prison. We rely on our old coping mechanisms. We become the person we think we need to be to please others. It takes willpower and choice not to step back into the confining roles we mistakenly believe will keep us safe and protected. #Quote by Edith Eger

#42. For me, learning that only I can do what I can do the way I can it meant overthrowing the compulsive achiever in me, who was always chasing more and more pieces of paper in the hops of affirming my worth. #Quote by Edith Eger

#43. Tonight, can we just pretend you want me too? #Quote by N'Zuri Za Austin

#44. Her (her mother's) fixation on her loss was like a trapdoor she would lift and fall through, an escape. #Quote by Edith Eger

#45. Just remember," she says, "no one can take away from you what you've put in your mind. #Quote by Edith Eger

#46. ...(S)uffering is universal. But victimhood is optional. There is a difference between victimization and victimhood. We are all likely to victimized in some way in the course of our lives. At some point we will suffer some kind of affliction or calamity or abuse, caused by circumstances or people or institutions over which we have little or no control. This is life. And this is victimization. It comes from outside. It's the neighborhood bully, the boss who rages, the spouse who hits, the lover who cheats, the discriminatory law, the accident that lands you in the hospital.

In contrast, victimhood comes from the inside. No one can make you a victim but you. We become victims not because of what happens to us but when we choose to hold on to our victimization. We develop a victim's mind -- a way of thinking and being that is rigid, blaming, pessimistic, stuck in the past, unforgiving, punitive, and without healthy limits or boundaries. We become our own jailors when we choose the confines of the victim's mind. #Quote by Edith Eger

#47. My mama told me something I will never forget..."We don't know where we're going, we don't know what's going to happen, but no one can take away from you what you put in your own mind. #Quote by Edith Eger

#48. Zazen is seated meditation-the opposite of contemplation-the emptying of the mind of all thoughts in order simply to be. In the midst of all evil, not a thought is aroused in the mind-this is called za. Seeing into one's Self-nature, not being moved at all-this is called Zen. #Quote by Huineng

#49. Once we are recognising and taking responsibility for our feelings, we can take responsibility for our own and the dynamic that shape our relationships… as I learn in my marriage and in the relationship with my children, one of the proving ground for our freedom is how we relate to our love ones… #Quote by Edith Eger
