"It's dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly – it's the best advice ever given me... So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly."

  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?"

 "Every day the clock resets. Your wins don't matter. Your failures don't matter. Don't stress on what was, fight for what could be." ~Sean Higgins

  “If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken by an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from the inside.” ~Jim Kwik

  “One life. Just one. Why are we not running like we are on fire towards our wildest dreams?”  ~unknown

 " When you don’t speak it, you store it. And that shit gets heavy. Release it. Let it go. Stop suffering in silence. Talk about what you’re going through so you can grow through it. It’s time to evolve." ~Nimai Delgado
