Struggle is just another word for growth.

"It is okay to be at a place of struggle. Struggle is just another word for growth.

Even the most evolved beings find themselves in a place
of struggle now and then. In fact, struggle is a sure sign
to them that they are expanding; it is their indication of
real and important progress.

The only one who doesn't struggle is the one who
doesn't grow. So if you are struggling right now, see it as
a terrific sign -- and celebrate your struggle."

~ Neale Donald Walsch

"Q: I would like freedom from painful thoughts...

A: You may feel that you are compelled to submit to painful
thoughts, but you are not. They are without genuine power.
With psychic awakening, you can stand aside and watch them
pass by, just as you stand on a riverbank and watch a raging
river, while being personally untouched."

The Power of your Supermind, p. 176

Buddha's Brain

"Looking at the larger picture: there are six billion caveman/cavewoman brains on this planet. Those brains are naturally inclined toward calm, contentment, and caring. But evolution has also given them a hair trigger for fear and anger at the least whiff of threat. You see the results on small scales, across dinner tables and office cubicles, and large ones, from shouting matches on cable TV to international conflicts. Our world is poised on the edge of a sword, and the way it tips will depend greatly on whether more people get more skillful with the brain." ~ Rick Hanson, Ph.D., Neuropsychologist, Author of Buddha's Brain

"Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and other great teachers were all born with a brain built essentially like anyone else’s. Then they used their minds to change their brains in ways that changed history." ~ Regina Meredith, Conscious Media Network

What You See Is What You Get

...that it sometimes looks like "one thing after the other,"
but really, it is Blessing After Blessing.

I know, I know...you don't experience it that way. But
that's because you don't see it that way. In this business
of life, "What you see is what you get."

If you think you are looking at struggle, struggle is what
you will experience. If you decide that you are looking
at a gift (even if you can't see it clearing in this exact
moment), a gift is what you will get. Just wait. You'll
see. I mean that literally. You will see.

Material science isn't the whole picture...

"What do we mean by materialist science? Materialist science takes it as its basic axiom that everything is matter. We have literally managed to train a whole generation of students on the idea that everything is material, but this Newtonian world view that has shaped our understanding for centuries is now giving way to the revelations of quantum physics which goes beyond materialism; to show that consciousness, not matter, is the ground of all being."

~ Amit Goswami, Ph.D., Professor of physics at the University of Oregon’s Institute of Theoretical Science

Every Morning

"My future starts when I wake up every morning...
Every day I find something creative to do with my life."

Truth is an Open Door

Truth is a door that remains open.
You cannot close this door.
You can choose not to enter.
You can walk in the opposite direction.
But you can never say:
“I tried to enter, but the door was closed.”
The door is never closed to you or anyone else.

~ Paul Ferinni
