Adversity is an effective, thorough and highly personalized teacher.

Just because the road ahead is long, is no reason to slow down. Just because there is much work to be done, is no reason to get discouraged. It is a reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways, to reach within yourself and discover strength, commitment, and determination. The road ahead is long and difficult, but it’s filled with opportunity. Start what needs starting. Finish what needs finishing. Get on the road. Stay on the road. Don’t give up.

Feelings come and feelings go. There is no need to fear them and no need to crave them. Be open to your feelings and experience them while they are here. Then be open to the feelings that will come next. Your feelings are a part of your experience. Yet no mere feeling, however intense it may seem, is your permanent reality.

Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open.

The quality of your commitments will determine the course of your life.

Look, really look, at how beautiful this day is. Let go of the worries and anxieties and judgments, and see the beauty.

Allow love to fill the places where anxiety now resides.
