Integrated Thoughts Quotes pinned «The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays. ― Soren Kierkegaard @Quoteitq #DeeperThanYouThink @QuoteITQ»
Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.

You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are
—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.

one of my favorite things in this world is how we pick up little habits and phrases from the people we love. you collect so many pieces of people as you go about this life. you are a mosaic of everyone you've ever loved, even for a heartbeat.

Relationships take up energy; letting go of them, psychiatrists theorize, entails mental work. When you lose someone you were close to, you have to reassess your picture of the world and your place in it. The more your identity was wrapped up with the deceased, the more difficult the loss.
