In deep self acceptance, grows a compassionate understanding.

Most of us have spent our lives caught up in plans, expectations, ambitions for the future; in regrets, guilt or shame about the past. To come into the present is to stop the war.

Be mindful of intention. Intention is the seed that creates our future.

We need courage and strength, a kind of warrior spirit. But the place for this warrior strength is in the heart. We need energy, commitment, and courage not to run from our life nor to cover it over with any philosophy-mate rial or spiritual. We need a warrior’s heart that lets us face our lives directly, our pains and limitations, our joys and possibilities.

Train your mind the same way you’d train a puppy: Be patient, be consistent, and have some fun along the way.

No matter what situation we find ourselves in, we can always set our compass to our highest intentions in the present moment

The trouble is that you think you have time.
