New things to take my energy and attention. Things that actually deserve it. Things that don’t force me into having to accept…”Tagged: Human Condition, Acceptance
“Emotions are slowly killing us because we keep channeling them into things that don't exist – the future, the past. We don't tap into the astounding power of the present moment. We're too caught up in constructing what "should" happen or trying to understand what already did. And intellectually,…”
“You decide what your life is defined by. The feeling of being ‘lost’ isn’t what happens when you go off-path, it’s when you forfeit control.
