The body can limit our ability to experience life to the fullest, especially if we identify ourselves as being only our bodies.

How important is it really that you feel satisfied right now for 2 minutes, compared to getting yourself free from addiction forever?

You can learn to focus on love in your heart rather than the symptoms of your physical condition.

It is impossible to hold a grudge and have peace of mind at the same time. It would be like trying to have day and night exist in the same moment.

Becoming less focused on the past and future and not resisting the moment is how to overcome fear, physical pain, and all suffering.

Most likely, when you are upset for any reason, it is rare that you will want to quickly see the real cause of your upset or the solution, but with practice you can begin to ask yourself honestly, is it the person/situation or is it my unforgiving thoughts about this person and the past that are upsetting me?

Freedom rests on finding the meaning and lessons even in our greatest pain.
