Quotes by Anais Nin:
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
It's absolutely true what she says about how sometimes our perceptions are colored by emotions. Things are not what they seem to be at that situation. We Don't Even Realize It Until Someone Points It Out. We need to respond intellectually and not to react emotionally. Reaction and Response sound very similar but they are very diverse in their implications. In every situation, responding rather than reacting will save you stress and potential conflict.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
Lets verify what she says about courage is true or not. okay, What is courage? when i searched for its definition in the dictionary, it says "Courage is the ability to confront fear, danger, pain and uncertainty." I think courage is more like a mental phenomena and has nothing to do with physical strength. We feel courageous when life put us in difficult situations. Never giving up even life takes away whatever we cherish as ours. Thats real courage. Thats being fierce with reality. Life will expand when we cherish and honour every moment as eternal. All that we have is this moment, thats always eternal now. We need to be conscious enough to recognise this fact.
We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.
Really this quote encouraged me to write this blog. It made me to write down important events and how i felt at those times in my diary. Tasting life twice, ah, what a feel! I feel overjoyed to contemplate on those beautiful past moments when reading my diary. These wonderful quotes remind me that life is wonderful. I am quite happy to realise it soon.
