You are not the ego, so when you become aware of the ego in you, it does not mean you know who you are - it means you know who you are not.

Some changes may look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

One of the hardest things to do is to see ourselves in others, to recognize the humanity around us. When we find ourselves stuck in judgement we can ask: “what would have to happen in my life to cause me to behave like this person I’m judging?” This is a step toward compassion.

The most dangerous woman of all is the one who refuses to rely on your sword to save her because she carries her own. R. H. SIN

Every step is important, no matter how small. Every move can be a gate. Every decision a bridge to something new. Don’t be paralyzed by the grandness of it all. Don’t get lost amongst the possibilities. Just breathe and take the step in front of you and follow where it leads.

“Letting go is the lesson. Letting go is always the lesson. Have you ever noticed how much of our agony is all tied up with craving and loss?” ― Susan Gordon Lydon, The Knitting Sutra: Craft as a Spiritual Practice

You don’t have to solve everything at once. You can’t leap ahead and arrange your whole life. All we can really ever do is take the step in front of us, and do the best we can today. On days when even that’s too much, it’s okay to just breathe ... And tomorrow begin again.

Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. ~ Warren Buffett

Heroes and cowards feel exactly the same fear - they just respond differently. ~ Cus D'amato
