We can let ourselves go a little now and then. We can loosen up a bit. We don't have to be so stiff and rigid, so frightened about being who we are. Take some risks. Try some new activities. What would we like to do? What might we enjoy doing? Then, take another risk. Pick out a movie we'd like to see; call a friend, and invite him or her to go along. If that person says no, try someone else, or try again another time. Decide to try something, then go through with it. Go once. Go twice. Practice having fun until fun becomes fun.
Melody Beattie

When we are training in the art of peace, we are not given any promises that, because of our noble intentions, everything will be okay. In fact, there are no promises of fruition at all. Instead, we are encouraged to simply look deeply at joy and sorrow, at laughing and crying, at hoping and fearing, at all that lives and dies. We learn that what truly heals is gratitude and tenderness.

Don't talk about what you have done or what you are going to do - do it and let it speak for itself.
Martin Vanbee

If you understand, things are just as they are; if you do not understand, things are just as they are.
