my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" from the book of Isaiah
Mitch AlbomWeโre so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaksโweโre involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we donโt get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?
Mitch AlbomIf you hold back on the emotions--if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them--you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your heard even, you experience them fully and completely.
