Our job is to get out of the way of ourselves and let the art flow through us. We need to stop trying, stop doing, start allowing. We have no clue what we can be when you stop forcing and start being.
We have to stop thinking about ourselves so much and start thinking about the environment. We have to change.
If we stop thinking of ourselves and only of helping others, you will start to see a dramatic improvement in the suffering we are all going through.
Change can come in either of two important ways: Start behaving positively or stop behaving negatively.
Please stop worrying about how much you can do! STOP judging yourself and others on physical abilities and prowess, stop believing MORE is better, stop the madness!
When we stop believing the world can become a better place, when we stop caring about the lives and conditions of others, we lose a part of ourselves.
I think when I start thinking about results, I stop playing the right way because I start getting too nervous.
When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of the other person's good points, we won't have to resort to flattery so cheap and false that it can be spotted almost before it is out of the mouth.
One of the hardest things to do in acting is to stop thinking about yourself and stop being self-conscious.
Stop thinking schoolishly. Stop acting teacherishly. Stop talking about learning as though it's separate from life.
We need to stop comparing ourselves to others, and stop patting ourselves on the back for attaining artificial measurements of spirituality. We need to take care that we do not think we are something we are not, or else we may deceive ourselves, setting ourselves up for rebuke in the future when we see Christ face to face
The great ideas start flowing when you stop thinking about the obvious way of doing it.
When my son said, "I can't stop thinking about girls," I said, "That's not gonna stop. Congratulations. You're in the club. From now until the day you die, one way or another you'll be thinking about girls.
I had at some point the epiphany that if I wanted to be a writer, maybe I should stop thinking about writing, or stop writing about writing, and actually write.
At the end of the day, we need to stop thinking about what we can make of ourselves and start thinking more about who God is, what he has done and is doing in Christ for us and for our neighbors, and how he can use us and our fellow brothers and sisters to be instruments of his gift-giving.
Stop thinking of what you intend to do. Stop thinking of what you have just done. Then, stop thinking that you have stopped thinking of those things. Then you will find the Now, the time that stretches eternal, and is really the only time there is.
