Weaken a bad habit
forcedistancetime: “Habits of thought are mental magnets that draw to you certain things, people, and conditions. Weaken a bad habit by avoiding everything that occasioned it or stimulated it, without concentrating upon it in your zeal to avoid it. Then divert your mind to some good habit and steadily cultivate it until it becomes a dependable part of you.” - Paramahansa Yogananda

One's primary concern
forcedistancetime: “One’s primary concern when entering a strength competition is winning.  As such, you should be focused entirely on what it takes to win.  If you’re already focused on what it would take to win, you should be focused on what you can do to fucking embarrass everyone around you for even showing up.” via Chaos and Pain

Misperception
forcedistancetime: “As you inquire into issues and turn judgments around, you come to see that every perceived problem appearing “out there” is really nothing more than a misperception within your own thinking.”   - Byron Katie

Love is a warrior's sword
forcedistancetime: “The peaceful warrior’s way is not about invulnerability, but absolute vulnerability—to the world, to life, and to the Presence you felt. All along I’ve shown you by example that a warrior’s life is not about imagined perfection or victory; it is about love. Love is a warrior’s sword; wherever it cuts, it gives life, not death.” - Dan Millman

All blame is a waste of time.
forcedistancetime: “All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you...
