Since death will take us anyway, why live our life in fear? Why not die in our old ways and be free to live?
Jack KornfieldWe each need to make our lion's roar - to persevere with unshakable courage when faced with all manner of doubts and sorrows and fears - to declare our right to awaken.
Jack KornfieldIt is the basic principle of spiritual life that we learn the deepest things in unknown territory. Often it is when we feel most confused inwardly and are in the midst of our greatest difficulties that something new will open. We awaken most easily to the mystery of life through our weakest side. The areas of our greatest strength, where we are the most competent and clearest, tend to keep us away from the mystery.
Jack KornfieldLetting go does not mean not caring about things. It means caring about them in a flexible and wise way.
