Positive Quotes about Clinging

Let these Clinging quotes help you to have a positive attitude toward life, and to think positively.

The moment you become miserly you are closed
to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing.
The moment you start clinging to things,
you have missed the target.
Because things are not the target,
you, your innermost being, is the target -
not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you;
not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.
- Osho

as though everything depended on it.

there is something we can still cling to.

for all God's creatures - large and small,

the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.
