To Believe

Daily Blend By 10/14/2015 No Comments

“To me it seems to be important to believe people to be good even if they tend to be bad, because your own joy and happiness in life is increased that way, and the pleasures of the belief outweigh the occasional disappointments. To be a cynic about people works just the other way around and makes you incapable about enjoying the good things”

Isaac Asimov

We Both Know

“Time to go a different way
Cause another day will come to those who dare
To believe in something new

When you follow your shining star
Leave all your fears behind
You will find love no matter where you are”

Forgiveness

Daily Blend By 10/14/2015 No Comments

“Forgiveness is a heartache and difficult to achieve because strangely, it not only refuses to eliminate the original wound, but actually draws us closer to its source. To approach forgiveness is to close in on the nature of the hurt itself, the only remedy being, as we approach its raw center, to reimagine our relation to it.

Strangely, forgiveness never arises from the part of us that was actually wounded.

What you can live wholeheartedly will make plans enough for the vitality.”

Maturity

Daily Blend By 10/14/2015 No Comments

“Maturity is the ability to live fully and equally in multiple contexts; most especially, the ability, despite our grief and losses, to courageously inhabit the past the present and the future all at once. The wisdom that comes from maturity is recognized through a disciplined refusal to choose between or isolate three powerful dynamics that form human identity: what has happened, what is happening now and what is about to occur.

Immaturity is shown by making false choices: living only in the past, or only in the present, or only in the future, or even, living only two out of the three.
