GRACE NOTES

Here are some more quotes that help me remember to stay open to all possibilities. Gifts of love and understanding are all around and we can share in the adventure of uncovering these gifts. I believe we are here to not necessarily solve all the mysteries of who we are and why are we here, but to just live in the questions and enjoy the process of discovery, however far that takes us.

-----------------------------------------------
Each challenge is there to guide you toward the desire of your heart.
Each problem, seen from the positive side, always turns into a blessing.
Each sorrow leads you to your joy.
Each doubt--to your knowing.
Each lack--to your abundance.
Each debt--to your freedom.
Each feeling of hopelessness--to your power.
Each cry of pain--to your comfort.
Each act of war-- to your peace.
Each act of anger--to your love.
And each journey through darkness--into the light.
------------------------------------------------
There is nothing to worry about -- ever!
Either you have control or you don't.
If you do, take control.
If you don't, then dismiss it.
Don't waste your energy on worry.
--------------------------------------------------
In the real world
as in dreams,
Nothing is quite
what it seems.
The Book of Counted Sorrows
----------------------------------------------------
When its time, its time,
when its done, its done,
there comes a point when
more is simply more.
------------------------------------------------------
Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it at someone else,
you are the one getting burned.
Buddha
----------------------------------------------------------
To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill.
To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.
Sun Tzu
