You possess only that which you can give.
Only by giving do you become the possessor. If you cannot give, then you are not in possession, you are not the master.
Then the thing that you think you possess, is possessing you. Then you are possessed by your possession.
– Osho
“`We are often our own prisoner, We limit ourselves and give in to things that don’t align with who we truly are, out of fear.
We fear abondoning our past because we have invested so much in It. We fear disappointing others and we end up disappointing ourselves.
We lie to ourselves so we can continue to believe in the illusion that satisfaction comes from external things. We build a comfort zone outside of ourselves and neglect our inner space.
We fear sitting alone in silence and listening to ourselves, because we can’t stand hearing the non sense we have repeated over the years,
But we know better now, we have enough hindsight to see that the surest investment is self knowledge and inner stability that is independant of the exterior world,
In crazy times like ours, meditation, presence and introspection are the key to embracing the exponentially changing world,
Wishing you all courage and awareness.

There comes a point in many of our lives when we understand, or at least intuit, that the peace and happiness for which we long can never be found in an object, substance, activity, circumstance or relationship. This understanding does not imply that we lose interest in the world or that we no longer engage with objects, activities and relationships, but simply that we no longer do so for the purpose of finding peace, happiness and love in them.
