i hate knowing that i have the type of personality where i’m always trying to help everyone around me and make them feel good-  so much so that i ignore myself and my own needs.  i’d rather try to keep someone i don’t even care about from being hurt, yet use very little effort when it comes to protecting myself.  i’m starting to realize that if i don’t look after myself, no one else will.  while i’m struggling to have everyone else’s backs, mine is completely unprotected.

this has got to change.

"Have a mind that is open to everything, and attached to nothing. No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. The problem is not enjoyment, the problem is attachment."

"Do not try to become anything.
Do not make yourself into anything.
Do not be a meditator.
Do not become enlightened.
When you sit, let it be.
What you walk, let it be.
Grasp at nothing.
Resist nothing."
