“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won’t succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.”

~ Wayne Dyer

“If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience and understanding.”

“When you think of all of the people and experiences and factors that have unknowingly conspired to get you to exactly where you are right now, it’s pretty awe-inspiring. It causes you to look at the world and the people around you in an entirely new way and to have a heightened sense of appreciation for this amazing universe in which we live.”

~ Dr. Patricia Thompson

"We need only look around to see that the blind certainty that so many of us possess is responsible for creating tension and unrest in our lives instead of flow. In a world of discovery, instead of blind certainty, we can relax and let go of our need for things to be a certain way. This does not mean we stop taking action to create important changes in our lives and in our world, but it does mean that we let go of how we think it's supposed to be or how it should turn out. Again, we let go because we don't really know the Grand Design. When we drop our attachment to any outcome, we start feeling that all-important WONDER. We start feeling curious about how it will turn out. The emotional hold that attachment creates melts away, and we are free to engage with others in a more encompassing way. Life gets bigger and certainly easier."

~ Susan Jeffers

“The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first you must have the mud --- the obstacles of life and its suffering. ... The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. ... Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles: sadness, loss, illness, dying and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one.”

Enjoy!
