"The ego is sustained by continuous resistance." - Eckhart Tolle

Anythign you avoid in life will comeback, over and over again, until you're willing to face it, to look deeply into its true nature. - Adyashanti

Any actionis often better than no action, especially if you have been struck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. - Eckhart Tolle

“The question is, are you going to grow or are you going to just stay as you are out of fear and waste your precious human life by status quo-ing instead of being willing to break the sound barrier? Break the glass ceiling, or whatever it is in your own life? Are you willing to go forward?
I suggest finding the willingness to go forward instead of staying still, which is essentially going backward, particularly when you have a calling in some direction.
That calling needs to be answered. And it’s not necessarily going to work out the way you want it to work out, but it is taking you forward, and you are leaving the nest.
And that never can be a mistake—to fly instead of staying in the nest with all the poop and everything that’s in there.” - Pema Chödrön
