When you have a stomach ache you don't tell your stomach to go away.

As you embrace your pain, you get relief and you find out how to handle that emotion. And if you know how to handle the fear, then you have enough insight in order to solve the problem. The problem is to not allow that anxiety to take over.

When someone does not know how to handle his own suffering, one allows it to spill all over the people around him or her. When you suffer, you make people around you suffer. That's very natural. This is why we have to learn how to handle our suffering, so we won't spread it everywhere.

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today

Today, you can decide to walk in freedom. You can choose to walk differently. You can walk as a free person, enjoying every step.

Each time you take a mindful step you are back in the arms of Mother Earth and are reminded of your true sweet home in the here and now.
