  Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself. Source:  The Parent's Tao Te Ching

As you are shifting, you will begin to realize that you are not the same person you used to be.  The things you used to tolerate have now become intolerable.  Where you once remained quiet, you are now speaking your truth.  Where you once battled and argued, you are now choosing to remain silent.  You are beginning to understand the value of your voice and recognize that there are some situations that no longer deserve time, energy and focus. -Source Unknown

 You're responsible for how long you let what hurt you haunt you. -LaTisha Cotto

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. — Arnold Schwarzenegger

From   Stillness Speaks, by Eckhart Tolle . "Surrender is surrender to this moment, not to a story through which you interpret this moment and then try to resign yourself to it. For instance, you may have a disability and can't walk anymore. The condition is as it is. Perhaps your mind is now creating a story that says, "This is what my life has come to. I have ended up in a wheelchair. Life has treated me harshly and unfairly. I don't deserve this." Can you accept the ISNESS of this moment and not confuse it with the story the mind has created around it?"
