"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." -The Dali Lama
This is just a quick post because I saw this quote & had to share. They're good words to remember in our day-to-day lives. We control our own thoughts & feelings. I'm going to try to remember this while I push through in my dissertation. I'm here because I love philosophy, & I shouldn't feel pressure & stress when I can feel excitement & curiosity & love for learning.
Hopefully I'll get a chance to post something more substantial soon. Have a lovely end of the week!

What a great mindset! I'll have to keep this in mind while doing my thesis this year.
ReplyDeleteI hope the dissertation is going well!!
ReplyDeleteSo so true. We have power over ourselves and ourselves alone and can control the affects that others have on us. I try to remember that one daily:) thanks for the quote.
