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

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?

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

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

There is no moment, ever, that does not either hold an opportunity or a lesson that God is offering.

One of the most liberating personal discoveries I have made is the knowledge that whenever I am upset, there is another way of looking at any situation, person, or condition.

When we combine acceptance with self-responsibility we can then see that whenever we are in a painful or disturbing situation we have two choices: We can work compassionately to bring something positive to the situation or leave. However, the key is the mental stance that we make the choice from, and thus the first step is always accepting the moment without resistance.
