It's easy to become an automaton who gets up, works hard, even does spiritual practices, but all merely as a mechanical habit. You can easily get the idea that your spiritual work, or whatever you are doing, is all-important and that you must give your life to it, while at the same time you forget what "giving your life to it" actually means. Then you can become even more mechanical than you already are (if such a thing is conceivable), but in a different form.
Lee Lozowick

Our minds are always wandering, reacting to other people's behaviors and words, and taken over by the thoughts and memories streaming through our awareness. So it is also fruitless to seek lasting happiness through thought, or even through sensual pleasures. What attracts us today fails to satisfy tomorrow. Yet we continue to think that serenity comes from something we do or have, rather than the way we are.
Jane Katra

I am responsible for my own well-being, my own happiness. The choices and decisions I make regarding my life directly influences the quality of my days.

You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.
