Becoming un-Lost … ( 09 / 27 / 2012 )
“ I think that many people become depressed because they feel stuck ; their lives have become static , where no progress is being made in any direction ; usually because the path they desire the most is the one most unavailable to them . And even though the way they want to walk is closed , they are unable to accept that they can – and indeed they must -- choose another path . And the truth is , there is always another path — there is always an alternative way resting right beneath our feet . So stop worrying , and just get up and do something you CAN do , rather than grieving uselessly for what you can ’ t .” ~ anonymous
One is Wise who does not force what “ should be ” upon what actually IS …
If we keep focusing on where we want to go — where we think we will get the most happiness or pleasure , then we will always eventually reach a dead end ( literally ) — and we will end up getting nowhere at all .
And yet , in every moment of our lives — right at the center of every one of our difficulties and right at the core of every one of our conundrums , there is an alternative route ; a route that is always open ; a route that always leads to Peace .
It is Kindness shown to others that is always this option …
It is Kindness shown to others that always opens its arms …
It is Kindness shown to others that is the way to Peace …
It is Kindness shown to others that is The Way .
