Live as if everything you do will eventually be known.

Life is also a mixture of unsolved problems, ambiguous victories and vague defeats-with very few moments of clear peace.
Hugh Prather
Image
It is your right to be happy. This is what you were made for. And if you will not resist, happiness will find a way to pour from your heart and fill your days.

My trouble is I analyze life instead of live it.

Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes and I am left the same. The more things change the more I am the same. I am what I started with, and when it is all over I will be all that is left of me.

Many books on communication are strong on theory but impractical on application. Marshall Rosenberg's instant classic is the stand-out exception.

Stands must be taken. If I am to respect myself I have to search myself for what I believe is right and take a stand on what I find. Otherwise, I have not gathered together what I have been given I have not embraced what I have learned I lack my own conviction.

When someone disagrees with me, I do not have to immediately start revising what I just said. People don't want me to always agree with them. They can sense this is phony. They can sense I am trying to control them: I am agreeing with them to make them like me. They feel I don't want to exist to like you. I DON'T exist to like you.
