Everything passes, nothing remains.
Understand this,
loosen your grip,
and find serenity.
— Lama Surya Das
We can have the best intentions and still fall short.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
Don’t be afraid to lose people. Be afraid of losing yourself by trying to please everyone around you.
Some talk to you in their free time and some free their time to talk to you. Know the difference.
Don’t stress over what you can’t control. Just let it be and focus on being happy.
Everything passes, nothing remains.
Understand this,
loosen your grip,
and find serenity.
— Lama Surya Das
What’s the most ridiculous false rumor that has been spread about you?
I joined my wife’s workplace about 12 months after she joined. When we worked together (same department, same roles), we’d keep mostly away from each other so not to crowd each other. When we’d take breaks, we’d be hanging out together. You know, normal stuff. Thing is, no one picked up on the fact that we were husband and wife. They knew she was married, and that I was married - but not to each other. Someone saw us holding hands on the walk back to our car after work, someone else saw us kiss when I dropped her in to work when I had the day off, and rumours started flying around that we were cheating on our significant others. People took it upon themselves to ‘intervene’ and approached me to tell me she was married and that I should be ashamed of myself. Someone else made a comment to her that she should be more discreet if she was going to continue on her relationship with me. Truth be told, we both found it pretty fucking funny. Didn’t get a chance to run with it, because we were so taken aback by it when it was brought up to us individually, that we just blurted out the truth on the spot.
