In our A, we pin our happiness on XAP and hold onto them for dear life. We stress about the possibility of losing them when they don’t call. Then our world crashes when it ends. We attach to feelings and the A as if they define us. By holding on like this, we limit our ability to experience joy in the present.

Thanks Bodhi!

I spoke to a male friend of mine after my A ended and his advice was that I need to take my life back!

Thank you Bodhi, I enjoyed these thoughts today. Especially about letting go and about fear and control. Here is a quote from Lao Tzu that my niece gave me, it might have already been used in zensda:)

"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be"-Lao Tzu

Have a peaceful Wednesday:)

“It is never too late to be what you might have been”

- George Elliot

and this does NOT mean with your xAP (-:

to me it means that I am a person whose" Being" is perpetually in process, and that I can continue to strive to become a better, kinder, more dignified human being. As long as I am alive, I have the possibility of creating endless possibilities for myself and others ...

Thank you everyone for your quotes so far :)

TU - yours reminded me of one by the man behind the yoga I do:

“It’s never too late, It’s never too bad, and you’re never too old or too sick to start from scratch once again.”

~ Bikram Choudhury
