I have a couple of thoughts from "The Five Things We Cannot Change..." 1-"Some people draw pain and crisis to themselves; some have it thrust upon them and make themselves feel more pain by how they react to it. We all have to face pain, and when we experience it mindfully, we simply feel it as it is. When we add the ego layers, the mindsets of fear, blame, shame, attachment to an outcome, complaint, or obsession, we make things worse" I think most of us can relate to that one! 2-"Our purpose in life is not to remain upright at all times but to collapse with grace when that is what has to happen. The fact of impermanence gives us the hope that we will rise again" There will always be a tomorrow! And finally my favourite tonite, 3-"If everything collapses, I will deal with it by staying with the pieces and then picking up the pieces." Hope these thoughts are a help to someone else out there. Hang in there fellow DBers!
