Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
-Quran "Quran 6.162"
Surely my prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
There are two things to aim at in life: first to get what you want; and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.

Not being dead isn't being alive.

Life has no meaning, the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.
Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.
-Søren Kierkegaard
There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement; this is the final truth.
-Ramana Maharshi
You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?

Life has become immeasurably better since I have stopped taking it seriously.
