One element of maturity is the realization that we don't get away with anything. Any advantage gained or convenience taken, any private procrastination or insincerity, no matter how subtle or quick in passing, is paid for.

Fears, indecision, and frustration feed on words. Without words they usually stop. . . . Words are at times good for looking back, but they are confining when I need to act in the present.

We are all saying the same thing in different words.

Boredom or discontent is useful to me when I acknowledge it and see clearly my assumption that there's something else I would rather be doing. In this way boredom can act as an invitation to freedom by opening me to new options and thoughts. For example, if I can't change the activity, can I look at it more honestly?

When we persist in looking for and finding what there is to value within our self, we discover a pure and loving being.

Letting go is freedom. When you find yourself in a useless battle, you merely walk off the battlefield.

My trouble is I analyze life instead of live it.
