Grieve And Mourn For Yourself Not Once

The Tension Of Opposites: Life Is A Series Of Pulls Back And Forth. You Want To Do One Thing, But You Are Bound To Do Something Else. Something Hurts You, Yet You Know It Shouldn't. You Take Certain Things For Granted, Even When You Know You Should Never Take Anything For Granted. A Tension Of Opposites, Like A Pull On A Rubber Band. And Most Of Us Live Somewhere In The Middle.

Acceptance Is Not A Talent You Either Have Or Don't Have. It's A Learned Response. My Meditation Teacher Made A Great Point About The Difference Between A Reaction And A Response: You May Not Have Control Over Your Initial Reaction To Something, But You Can Decide What Your Response Will Be. You Don't Have To Be At The Mercy Of Your Emotions, And Acceptance Can Be Your First Step Toward Empowerment . . . For Me, Acceptance Has Been The Cornerstone To My Having An Emotionally Healthy Response To My Illness.

You Don't Understand. You're Not A Wave. You're Part Of The Ocean.

The Most Important Thing In Life Is To Learn How To Give Out Love, And To Let It Come In.
