Rather than pray for a life that is problem-free, ask for one that is solution-full. Instead of requesting that God remove the mountain before you, seek the strength to climb it. Remember that the best students always get the toughest problems. Love the problems you have, and their priceless gifts will be yours.
Douglas Bloch
"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you love to do, in order to have what you want."
Margaret Young
"Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world."

I do not own much and yet I have everything that is important. I am so very blessed!
Then you possess what is eternal. You are blessed indeed. The other "things" all get in the way and they then start to own you and hinder you from being who you are meant to be..
