How do you let go of attachment to things? Don’t even try. It’s impossible. Attachment to things drops away by itself when you no longer seek to find yourself in them.

Eckhart Tolle

“Let life live you for a while instead of trying to make yourself live life.” - Alan Watts

Every time you want to quit but keep going, you pass a checkpoint in life.

Steven Handel, The Emotion Machine: Self-Improvement in the 21st Century

Wisdom comes with the ability to be still. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you. Let stillness direct your words and actions.” Eckhart Tolle

“Educate yourself. When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it. Read read read. Study, learn, stimulate your brain. Don’t just rely on the school system, educate that beautiful mind of yours.”

"Because Zen seekers are searching too eagerly, they think there must be a special principle, so they try to describe it to themselves mentally, in a subjective way. Thus they are swept by the machinations of emotive and intellectual conciousness into something that is created and will perish." - Yingan Tanhua (1103-1163)
