Do I prefer to grow up and relate to life directly, or do I choose to live and die in fear?

According to the Buddhist belief, you can go on and on indefinitely, so you see your life as just a brief moment in time.

You must learn to sit with the restless, painful energy and not let the momentum pull you under and cause you to do the same thing over and over that's ruining your life and the lives of those around you.

Feel the wounded heart that's underneath the addiction, self-loathing, or anger.

I have all the support I need to simply relax and be with the transitional, in-process quality of my life. I have all I need to engage in the process of awakening.

Lean into the sharp points and fully experience them. The essence of bravery is being without self-deception. Wisdom is inherent in (understanding) emotions.

Welcome the present moment as if you had invited it. Why? Because it is all we ever have.
