The Weekly Round-Up
Resilient people are built, and they are often built with pieces of their own failures, mistakes, and missteps.
You do not have to be perfect, you just have to keep going.
Not everything you lose is a loss.
In letting go, something new comes.
The loss [of something] is no small thing, but the gain is incomparably greater.
Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over.
The Weekly Round-Up
Even bad luck is a source of opportunity—but only if you live each day as if that is true.
Take all the energy you spend on worrying about the past, worrying about the future, worrying about what others think, worrying about if you might fail... and channel that energy into one useful action within your control.
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
Change is hard, grace and surrender make it lighter.
With faith, you can cling to your vision in the face of seeming failure.
You want to learn from your past, not live in it.
The reality that we are seeking is not elsewhere, but right in our own hearts and heads.
Nothing ever disappears in the universe, it only changes form.
Make peace with the unknown… believe that everything will work out one way or another.
The Weekly Round-Up
There’s nothing we can’t go through. And we can live through it all with compassion.
Strengthen your faith in the fact that you will be taken care of no matter where you find yourself along the way.
Be happy now — don’t wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.
The very act of letting go is not a failure, but a signal of completion.
If you are going to give your energy to anything, give it to what’s already working — to the people who already love you, to the things that show potential, to the places that make you feel more alive.
Kindness is evidence of impenetrable strength.
We truly can design who we become.
You have overcome every single thing that has been unexpected.
What is meant for you will arrive in your life and it will remain in your life.
A truly rich life requires that we embrace vulnerability, that we manage our desire for control, and that we trust life.
The very moment that you honor where you are with complete surrender, you open yourself to the next experience life wants to offer.
Responding is harder than reacting.
