One of the hardest lessons I've had to learn in life is that if a person wants to stay broken, they will. No amount of love, kindness, or understanding you give them will make them whole if they don't want to be. You'll just end up breaking yourself. - Mona Lisa Nyman

It’s not about “letting it go.” It's about letting it in. It’s about letting it deep. It’s about letting it through. It's about being true to your feelings. It’s about giving your experiences the attention they deserve. And that may take a moment, or it may take years. The trick is not to shame your need to hold on to what has yet to be resolved. “Let it go” is the mantra of the self-avoidant, feigning resolution because they lack the courage or the preparedness to face their feelings. Let’s not play that game. Let’s let things in and through, until they are fully and truly ready to shift. Let’s let it grow into the transformation at its heart. We write our story by fully living it. Not by "letting it go" before its time. - Jeff Brown

Sooner or later someone is going to grab you by the hand and remind you how beautiful you are, and it could be a lover, a friend or some random stranger, who ever it is, I hope you believe it and I hope you take it all in with good faith. You have the whole goddamn universe at the edge of your fingers and everyday it brings you closer... to being you. - r.m.drake
The idea of soulmates has people thinking that once they find "the one," everything is smooth sailing from there. Yu still have to communicate, face past demons, set boundaries together, build and sustain trust, and weather storms that come to tear you two apart. - unknown

"We have a natural tendency to assume that a remarkable chemistry between two souls is confirmation that they are meant to be together for life. In the heat of profound feelings, it seems counter-intuitive to imagine ourselves separate from a beloved. But chemistry and longevity are not necessarily bedfellows. Just because we feel earth-shatteringly alive with someone doesn’t mean they are supposed to be our life partner. They may have come for a very different reason—to awaken us, to expand us, to shatter us so wide open that we can never close again. Perhaps they were sent from afar to polish the rough diamond of our soul before vanishing into eternity. Perhaps they just came to give us new eyes. Better we surrender our expectations when a beloved comes. (S)he may just be dropping in for a visit." - Jeff Brown, Grounded Spirituality'

As we move through this beautiful and troubled world, may we vow to be a beacon of peace, a fearless carrier of respect and lovingkindness for all life, a teller of truth, a voice for justice, a protector of those who are vulnerable or targeted. May the power of wisdom, integrity and compassion be our guide. And may we follow these instructions of the Buddha.......
"Others will kill. We shall not kill. Thus we should direct our hearts.
Others will be cruel. We shall not be cruel. Thus should we direct our hearts.
Others will speak falsely. We will speak what is true. Thus we should direct our hearts.
Others will be fraudulent. We shall not be fraudulent. Thus we should direct our hearts.
Others will be hateful. We shall become loving. Thus we shall direct our hearts.
Others will be unwise. We shall become wise. Thus we shall direct our hearts."
May we carry these intentions with courage, as a beacon and a medicine, as a blessing to all we touch. #mindfulness #compassion #jackkornfield - Jack Kornfield

Stress makes you think that everything has to be fixed right now. Just breathe. Things have a way of working themselves out. - unknown
Most of our stress is caused by the mind leaving what's happening in the present moment and worrying about what will happen next. The present is the only opportunity we have to make choices and take the actions necessary to influence what will happen in the future.
When you begin to feel stressed it means your mind is worrying about the future or regretting something about the past, so just pause, take several deep breaths, come back to the moment, and ask yourself, "What am I thinking about right now that's causing me to feel this anxiety?" - Michelle & Barb

HOPE
Hope still wins but it often has a tear stained face.
It has a vulnerable heart.
It has bloodied fists, because it keeps on fighting.
It has craped knees, because it keeps in crawling forward.
Its sweaty; hope is not necessary pretty.
But you always want Hope on your side because hope will fight for you.
Hope will fight for the hardest parts of your life. - Jo Saxton

Today is the day to take all of your pain, all of your anger, all of the sadness about the unfairness of life, all of your fears about an uncertain future - and release yourself from all of it. Watch it slip into the nether-realm of the past like an untethered boat filled with useless, outdated baggage that serves no purpose in your life. Watch as it floats farther and farther downriver until it is gone from your sight; some of it may still exist somewhere, for whomever should choose to hold onto it - but it is no longer tethered to you. Today you are free to fill a new boat with whatever supplies you choose to bring along for a happy, fulfilling and passionate life that reflects who you are right now, this very day. So bon voyage!!! - Spiritual Awakenings

“Stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don’t belong. You will always find it because you’ve made that your mission.
