Everything You'll Ever Need To

The First Step To Change,... Is Accepting Your Reality Right Now. Honoring Your Process. Compassionate Self-awareness Leads To Change; Harsh Self-criticism Only Holds The Pattern In Place, Creating A Stubborn And Defensive Basic Self. Be Gentle With Yourself As You Would With A Child. Be Gentle But Firm. Give Yourself The Space To Grow. But Remember That The Timing Is In God's Hands, Not Yours. Page~147

Pain Is A Relatively Objective, Physical Phenomenon; Suffering Is Our Psychological Resistance To What Happens. Events May Create Physical Pain, But They Do Not In Themselves Create Suffering. Resistance Creates Suffering. Stress Happens When Your Mind Resists What Is... The Only Problem In Your Life Is Your Mind's Resistance To Life As It Unfolds.

If There Is A Central Theme To What I Called "a Peaceful Warrior's Approach To Living," And To The Four Purposes Of Life, It Is That There May Be Innumerable Techniques Or Methods One Can Learn (from The Eastern Spiritual Cultures And From The Western Psychological Tradition), But That Above And Beyond All These Technologies Waits The School Of Everyday Life.

There Is No Path To Happiness. Happiness Is The Path. There Is No Path To Love. Love Is The Path. There Is No Path To Peace. Peace Is The Path.

Dream Big. Start Small And Then Connect The Dots
