Like this gas tank, you are overflowing with preconceptions, full of useless knowledge. You hold many facts and opinions, yet know little of yourself. Before you can learn, you'll have to first empty your tank.

When running up a hill, it is all right to give up as many times as you wish-as long as your feet keep on moving.

Energy follows thought we move toward, but not beyond, what we can imagine. What we assume, expect, or believe creates and colors our experience. By expanding our deepest beliefs about what is possible, we change our experience of life.

Unless the desire to change remains strong, body and mind tend to return to old, familiar patterns. It takes time-from three to six months-for old habits to become obsolete. By the end of that time, you'll have adapted to a new pattern. In a sense, you'll have found a new way of life.

Surrender means accepting this moment, this body, and this life with open arms. Surrender involves getting out of your own way and living in accord with a higher will, expressed as the wisdom of the heart. Far more than passive acceptance, surrender uses every challenge as a means of spiritual growth and expanded awareness.

In life, stress happens when you resist what arises.

Personal and collective awakening are one and the same - when a raindrop joins the sea, the sea also merges with the raindrop.
Dan Millman
Image
...when you resist what happens, your mind begins to race the same thoughts that impinge upon you are actually created by you.

Action is stronger than subjectivity. No matter what you feel or think, you can still act.

The hours of your life are the most valuable currency you will ever have. How will you spend them?

Do you have the courage for it? Do you have the love? If you have enough of one, you will develop the other.
