Things don't spiral out of control when we surrender them; they spiral out of control when we try to control them!

Marianne WilliamsonThe only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread oneโs influence wide to learn how to go deep. The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it.
