Jesse James Quotes

When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield.

Accept what you cannot control.

Healing is a coming to terms with things as they are, rather than struggling to force them to be as they once were, or as we would like them to be, to feel secure or to have what we sometimes think of as our own way.

I might say: if the place I want to get to could only be reached by way of a ladder, I would give up trying to get there. For the place I really have to get to is a place I must already be at now. Anything that I might reach by climbing a ladder does not interest me.

Never say of anything I have lost it, only say that I have given it back.

What can and doesn't have to be always, at the end, surrenders to something that has to be.

I would say I was always very ambitious and goal-oriented, but rather than being just a go-getter hustler, now I surrender a lot more and I trust my path a lot more.

The best way to guarantee a loss is to quit.

Learn to... be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not.

I don't regret anything I've gone through.

I don't want ever to be champion again.

If we can remain present and deal with the moment in front of us, no matter what our battle, then if we lose, we'll know that ultimately we weren't supposed to win that battle in the first place.

Quitting is the easiest thing to do.

If we can't face our losses, we can't be present either fully to everything that is. When people have cut off or not made peace with some part of themselves, they miss out on other aspects of life.

Groan and forget it.

Every role is a new form of surrender.

Everything is a learning lesson, good and bad, so I am happy with the way things are, and I learned from everything negative. I am in a great space now, so I wouldn't change a thing!

You're always trying to feel confident and to feel good about yourself, but what it comes down to is really giving up to someone else. Having faith.

It took me a while to learn the true meaning of patience and surrender, but I have finally accepted that healing doesn't happen on our schedule. It doesn't have a clock or a calendar.

The trick is to realize that after giving your best, there's nothing more to give.

When we give up our images of self-importance and our ideas of what should be, we can help things become what they need to be.

We all have some flaws. But when I have a moment of doubt, I find inspiration from being in the moment, by letting go. I don't hold onto what I can't control. Doubt is a fleeting emotion that can destroy you if you allow it to consume your mind and spirit. Each person's time comes at variant phases, and the best you can do is enjoy what you're doing and work hard. It can't always be about you. Life is transformation - the wind blows, climate changes, birds chirp and trees burn. Where you are today is not where you will be tomorrow. The only person you can be is you.

If you were wise enough to know that this life would consist mostly of letting go of things you wanted, then why not get good at the letting go, rather than the trying to have?

You don't give up the intention, and you don't give up the desire. You give up your attachment to the results.

Surrender is not the best way to live; it is the only way to live. Nothing else works.
