Thinking about time is to acknowledge two contradictory certainties: that our outward lives are governed by the seasons and the clock; that our inward lives are governed by something much less regular-an imaginative impulse cutting through the dictates of daily time, and leaving us free to ignore the boundaries of here and now and pass like lightning along the coil of pure time, that is, the circle of the universe and whatever it does or does not contain.
People carry around resentment for years! And that creates daily stress.
Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health. If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe correctly. There is no single more powerful -or more simple- daily practice to further your health and well being than breathwork.
Flints may be melted - we see it daily - but an ungrateful heart cannot be; not by the strongest and noblest flame.
To find reality you must be real in the smallest daily action; there can be no deceit in the search for truth.
A lot of mantras that I use in my daily life to get through - to move through the world in peace and harmony with myself - find their way into the music that I make. Many of the lines that people seem to be drawn to in my music really come from these mantras that I repeat to myself to try and move through the world in more thoughtful, comfortable way.
My young sisters, we have such hope for you. We have such great expectations for you. Don't settle for less than what the Lord wants you to be. . . Give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponders the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon. . . Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity.
Daily life is the enemy of greatness.
The sacred is in the ordinary. . . it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's own backyard. . . travel may be a flight from confronting the scared--this lesson can be easily lost. To be looking elsewhere for miracles is to me a sure sign of ignorance that everything is miraculous.
Mixing humour and harsh reality is a very human behaviour, it's the way people stay sane in their daily lives.
I am considering two things on a daily basis: what is right to do and what is wrong to do in my role as President of my people. According to my conscience, I am trying to abide by the right. My vision is peace. My vision is prosperity.
When unrequited love is the most expensive thing on the menu, sometimes you settle for the daily special.
We all get habituated, right? You get up in the morning, have your coffee, and read your newspaper, and that’s great. Everybody loves life in its mundane, daily aspects. It’s what makes us feel secure. But I also start to go numb a little bit and I don’t see what’s around me. So I put myself in a new situation and suddenly I’m really seeing the person next to me, hearing music, and I’m smelling, and I can’t help but want to write it down.
The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.
In the Church, great wonders daily occur, such as the forgiveness of sins, triumph over death. . . the gift of righteousness and eternal life.
Be orderly and disciplined in daily life, like a good bourgeois, so that I might be wild and violent in my art.
The Arab-Israeli conflict is the biggest problem, but small problems shape the daily lives of Israelis. Unless there happens to be a war going on, the Arab-Israeli conflict is irrelevant in daily life.
Freedom is not a reaction; freedom is not a choice. . Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity.
I think in daily newspapers, the way comic strips are treated, it's as if newspaper publishers are going out of their way to kill the medium. They're printing the comics so small that most strips are just talking heads, and if you look back at the glory days of comic strips, you can see that they were showcases for some of the best pop art ever to come out.
Most of us harbour a significant amount of subconscious fear about death, and act out of this fear in our daily lives.
