MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES

The afternoon presents an intersection where the momentum that we have gained in the morning may be either sustained or lost – where we can choose to either build on the morning’s foundations and embrace our challenges, or allow the stress and frustration of the day to ruin all our hard work.

By meditating on our thoughts, feelings, and desires, we are encouraging a sense of self-awareness and self-mastery. We observe the whimsical and impulsive movements of our mind without getting caught up in them, and in doing so we develop a greater understanding of ourselves.

Tuhan enggak pernah membiarkan manusia hidup untuk kalah, meski setiap harinya manusia harus digeprek, dipukul, dilapisi tepung, dan dipanaskan dalam penggorengan penuh minyak agar matang sekaligus layak dinikmati. Enggak apaapa kalau pernah lelah asal pantang menyerah. - Piring Bahagia Si dan Bi
