"The eternal silence of infinite spaces frightens me.
Why now rather than then? Who has put me here? By whose order and direction have this place and time have been ascribed to me?
We travel in a vast sphere, always drifting in the uncertain, pulled from one side to another.
We want our lives to evolve on a certain path, forward and upward.
And yet, if you look at nature, you will not find a straight line.
Your life may not evolve exactly as you expect.
You can keep fighting that battle.
Or you can find peace and freedom in your winding path.
“Anytime you feel negative emotion, stop and say:
"Something is important here; otherwise, I would not be feeling this negative emotion. What is it that I want?"
And then simply turn your attention to what you do want."
-Abraham Hicks
We can react to life in one of three ways.
PEACE OF MIND
My life is a series of experiences I need, happening in perfect order.
NEXT BEST OPTION
Life is a lottery, but I make the most of whatever comes along.
MAXIMUM MISERY
Why do bad things happen to me?
"I'm trying to design a City of Love, Peace, Concord and Virtue, free of mess, war, wreckage and misery."
Syrian refugee and award-winning poet Amineh Abou Kerech shares her personal lament for Syria:
Motivate yourself enough times to do something and it will become discipline over time.
Practice until it's automatic and you will become consistent regardless of what you think or feel.
Discipline is the transformation of motivation into habit.
“Nothing needs to be fixed.
Everything is unfolding perfectly.
So when you stand in your now accepting that all is well, then from that vibration, you become surrounded by more and more evidence that all is well."
-Abraham Hicks
