Buddhist teachings refer to the “emotional cancers of the mind” as greed, anger, and ignorance—fundamental sources of suffering that obstruct our path to enduring happiness and freedom.

When a negative thought intrudes, we learn to pay it no heed, allowing it to dissipate as swiftly as it appeared. It’s akin to burglars fleeing an empty house upon realizing there’s nothing to steal.

This process also extends to the internal dialogue we maintain and our self-perception, whether negative or positive. Our interactions with others mirror our self-relationship. What annoys you about others, is often simply a reflection our own internal struggles.

Taking care of yourself doesn’t mean me first; it means me too; you deserve the love you give to so freely to others”– David Scott

“Accept yourself. Love yourself as you are. Your finest work, your best movements, your joy, peace, and healing come when you love yourself. You give a great gift to the world when you do that.

If someone says they are still searching for the ultimate truth, trust them; if they say they have found the truth, doubt them.”
