Eventually, you will have to stop pouring yourself into the things that will give nothing back, that take without any intent to give. You will have to stop trying to make yourself fit into places you are no longer meant to be.

STOP HOPING FOR A COMPLETION OF ANYTHING IN LIFE

‎If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don't do it, and it won't happen.

For there is no joy in continuity, in the perpetual. We desire it only because the present is empty. A person who is trying to eat money is always hungry. When someone says, “Time to stop now!” he is in a panic because he has had nothing to eat yet, and wants more and more time to go on eating money, ever hopeful of satisfaction around the corner.

We do not really want continuity, but rather a present experience of total happiness.

If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old

Life and hope must cease together.

Since it could be done what was the use of doing it, and anyway you always have to stop doing something sometime.

When to stopped wishing things wouldn't fall apart, you'd stop suffering when they did.

If you just keep doing, you will burn out and grind to a halt.

Don’t hope.
Hope is wanting things to be different than they are.
Wanting to change yourself is self-loathing.

We have to learn the art of stopping - stopping our thinking, our habit energies, our forgetfulness, the strong emotions that rule us. When an emotion rushes through us like a storm, we have no peace. We turn on the TV and then we turn it off. We pick up a book and then we put it down. How can we stop this state of agitation? How How can we stop our fear, despair, anger, and craving? We can stop by practicing mindful breathing, mindful walking, mindful smiling, and deep looking in order to understand. When we are mindful, touching deeply the present moment, the fruits are always understanding, acceptance, love, and the desire to relieve suffering and bring joy.

As the old saying goes, “You can do anything once you stop trying to do everything.

When you cease to dream you cease to live.

If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.
