So, who or what is in control?

"What if I said no one? Or what about everything, the totality of Life? Same thing, really.

I know that this may sound scary to some of you, and downright crazy to others, but the simple truth is this: life has only gotten more delicious and fun the more I’ve come to accept the truth that we have no control. Much like a surfer riding a wave: you have no control over the wave. Your only job is to enjoy the ride! Namaste."

Intelligence is the antithesis of confidence

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

Humility

True kindness -- the flowering of patience, compassion, and the quiet, but unshakable strength for which we all aspire -- is only found growing along that uphill path called "humility." ~ Guy Finley

The mind, the body and the soul are inseparable...

Each has its own needs if it is to remain healthy. When you remove the obstacles preventing those needs from being met, Healing Happens. ~

My mother once said to me,

"If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." She meant that life would take me — and everyone else — on its own journey: one of changes, unpredictable and unexpected transitions and tough decisions. As soon as I understood I was subject to a bigger plan, the happier and calmer my life became." ~ Ariane de Bonvoison

Presence

"Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry — all forms of fear — are cause by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence." ~ Eckhart Tolle
