Geoff Allen's Journal December 2013 part 1

My Journal

[ December 1 & 2, 2013 '

"What do I think? I think that if you fill your mind with thoughts of kindness & unconditional compassion you will enjoy peace-of-mind!"

"Often it is difficult people who are suffering the most & therefore most in need of compassion."

"It's dead easy to love those who are charming, agreeable, pleasant & attractive. There's no great merit in that. The real challenge as a human being is to find a way of loving the irritating, the withdrawn, the awkward, the confused, the abrasive, the forlorn ... those who dare 2 disagree with us ..."

“I love and accept myself completely and unconditionally.”

"Sometimes I like 2 re-activate my own life!"

"YAR-YAR-YAR. YAR-YAR-YAR. YAR-YAR-YAR-YAR-YAR-YAR-YAR."

"I think that there is a LOT of frustration in this world because most people don't understand their own lives."

"What do I think? I think that I would rather enjoy peace-of-mind than get involved in a heated debate over something that is a matter of individual opinion!"

"When a man goes berserk, he knows that it will work."

"Sometimes I think that the secret of life is 2 JAM-JAM-JAM the language!"

"Men & women & children & families & doctors love 2 enjoy their lives but they aren't sure what 2 do when the moment arrives."

"Is that your medical world of reality? No. That's my medical thrust of life!"

"LIM-LOM-LIM. LIM-LOM-LIM. LIM-LOM-LIM-LOM-LIM-LOM-LIM."

"What is your best choice of the reality of life?"

"Once upon a time, I used 2 believe that the secret of life is 2 behave RANDOMLY throughout the day!"
