Attention Quote by Surya Raj
““You rise above your fears by facing them, not by ignoring them. And you can do that because you’re not the fear or the thought or the pain: you’re the one looking at it. Read these self-reflection quotes. They’ll help you look at your thoughts and feelings without being trapped by them. It’s how you change anything. These self-reflection quotes aren’t about lingering on what you don’t like about yourself. They’re about going beyond them by #recognising that you’re not them. By paying kind attention to what hurts or isn’t helping, you can understand those things better. You can understand yourself better, and so trust yourself more. Introspection is the opposite of self-rejection. The loving gaze you grant yourself will free you and lift everyone else. ------------------------------------------------------------ "You can be the most beautiful person in the world when you introspect yourself.””
