Fernando Torres Quotes

I've learned over and over that life happens on its own terms, not mine.

Let come what comes, let go what goes. See what remains.

It's good to mind about things but not to give it too much weight, because there are some things you cannot change.

The secret of zen is just two words: not... always... so.

Meditation is a tool for helping us accept the profound fact that everything changes all the time.

As time goes on, you'll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn't, doesn't. Time solves most things. And what time can't solve, you have to solve yourself.

Learn to wait; invariably either things will change or your heart will.

I just wanna build momentum again. Keeping yourself in work is one thing, keeping yourself in good work's another. But if it doesn't work out, so be it. As the Taoists say, Learn to accept that which you cannot change.

Life is accepting what is and working from that.

Some people seem to understand this - that life and change take time - but I am not one of those people.

At different times in my life, I've made grand statements like, 'I want these many kids, and I want them by this age.' I think, with every year that goes by, I accept that I don't know when it's going to happen or how it's going to happen. I'll just take it one day at a time, and when I'm ready, I'll be ready. It'll reveal itself, I guess.

Let come what comes, and accommodate yourself to that, whatever it is. If good mental images arise, that is fine. If bad mental images arise, that is fine, too. Look on all of it as equal, and make yourself comfortable with whatever happens.

Whatever's in front of you, you do the best you can and let it land where it lands, and then you walk away.

I take everything very seriously, but I also take it lighthearted to recognize that you can't control it.

Life? You can't manipulate it or bend it to your will. You have no choice but to roll with it.

You can't ever force anything, and you have to deal with what comes to you as it comes.

You keep learning how to let go and to live the life that you actually have, as opposed to the life you thought you were going to have.

And let its meaning permeate each day. Whatever comes, This too shall pass away.

When Things Fall Apart” and I quote “Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don't get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. It's a very tender, nonaggressive, open-ended state of affairs.

But if you can plant yourself in stillness long enough, you will, in time, experience the truth that everything (both uncomfortable and lovely) does eventually pass.

Things change when you learn to loosen your grip. I think one way and the future is desperate. I think another way everything is in sight. Trees bend so branches don't have to break. We mend the wounds of our last mistake... I live one way holding onto the fence post. I live another way sliding off into space. Each life is loosely assembled... Birds swim, fish do fly. Proud man begins to cry. Birds swim, fish do fly. Things change, so why can't I?

Everything has a beginning and an ending. Make peace with that and all will be well...In life we cannot avoid change, we cannot avoid loss. Freedom and happiness are found in the flexibility and ease with which we move through change.

Don't get too attached to anything.

Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable.

I don't worry about the things I can't change.
