On Courage:
"Giving up security takes guts. Bohemians have the courage to reject mainstream society, to follow an ideal and forsake praise and security; to alienate family; to be, as Jack Kerouac put it, "yourself at whatever cost" (p. 22)"

"We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move. We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want. We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable." Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, translated by Stephen Mitchell
(and part of my horoscope from Rob Brezsny... Apparently somewhere in there there is a message for me this week. . . now if it could only smack me over the head. . . )

It took me time, but I learned.
Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of insight that leaves you a changed person, not only changed, but for the better.
Arthur Gordon

There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world; it’s the beginning of a new life.

Even a spiritualist has to let go
Letting go doesn't mean we don't care. Letting go doesn't mean we shut down.
Letting go means we stop trying to force outcomes and make people behave. It means we give up resistance to the way things are, for the moment. It means we stop trying to do the impossible--controlling that which we cannot--and instead, focus on what is possible--which usually means taking care of ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness, and love, as much as possible. Melody Beattie

On Letting Go
author unknown To "let go" does not mean to stop caring. It means I can't do it for someone else. To "let go" is not to cut myself off. It's the realization that I can't control another. To "let go" is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands. To "let go" is not to try to change or blame another. It's to make the most of myself. To "let go" is not to care for, but to care about. To "let go" is not to fix, but to be supportive. To "let go" is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being. To "let go" is not to be in the middle, arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own destinies. To "let go" is not to deny, but to accept. To "let go" is not to nag, scold, or argue, but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them. To "let go" is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it. To "let go" is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future. To "let go" is to fear less and to love more.

" People come into your life for a reason; the negative people usually are there to teach you what you don't want to become, treat you how you don't want to be treated, and to show you what you don't deserve. Embrace them, let them teach you, and then let them go."

“Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.” - Anthony Robbins
