You cannot practice being open in a moment of no challenge.
Most inner-obstacles are not overcome because they are seen as natural, ordinary and justifiable. You have to understand your inner-obstacles for the inhibiting barriers they truly are in order to move beyond them.
Most of the petty upset we experience is unnecessary reactivity that can and should be tamed.
How you channel your justifiable upset — positively or negatively — determines the degree to which you waste your life force or mount your verve into worthy endeavor.
Every tragedy has a lesson equal in significance to its heartbreak.
The more something upsets you, the more it is meant for you. When it no longer upsets you, it is no longer needed because the lesson is complete.
The greater the discomfort, the greater the potential for learning.
Whatever makes you uncomfortable is your biggest opportunity for growth.
Moments of challenge are the greatest blessings in your life; they are your chance for rapid expanding and deepening of your understanding.
Take a hard stance for broadness and understanding.
