36 Quotes by Maximus Freeman

Be nice, feel good; be mean, feel pain.

Pain is your teacher; pain is your guide; pain truly is your friend, and when pain brings you to your knees, put your hands together and thank God.

It seems like something magical happens when we wholeheartedly allow ourselves to be exactly as we are. The funny thing is that resisting, rejecting or not accepting any aspect our ourselves doesn’t seem to change anything anyway. So, we might as well stop fighting it, or at least allow ourselves to keep resisting. Ha!

Since the human mind is incapable of discerning truth from falsehood, it is forced to constantly create erroneous stories to explain, justify and categorize everything.

Starve the mind and it naturally falls away.

The secret to happiness: resist nothing and allow everything. The secret to contentment: revere everything. The secret to enlightenment: there is no secret.

Go with the ebbs and the flows, and allow this non-resistance to guide us to contentment.

As soon as you notice yourself clinging to something for comfort, let go.

When uncomfortable feelings show up, pause, breathe deeply and compassionately embrace the discomfort.
