This Brief Lifetime

I read something today that captured my attention:

THIS BRIEF LIFETIME

"How are we going to spend this brief lifetime? Are we going to strengthen our well-perfected ability to struggle against uncertainty, or are we going to train in letting go? Are we going to hold on stubbornly to “I’m like this and you’re like that”? Or are we going to move beyond that narrow mind? Could we start to train as a warrior, aspiring to reconnect with the natural flexibility of our being and to help others do the same? If we start to move in this direction, limitless possibilities will begin to open up."

Excerpted from:

The Pocket Pema Chödrön, page 34

"The Struggle Against Uncertainty"!  Do you do that? Struggle against what is not even there yet? Or better yet struggle against something that is there? I do. And what good does it do? Does it serve us or serve to slow us down and confuse us?

I don't want to be slowed down or confused!

Let's end the struggle. Let's let it go.

There is peace there....

Practice it! xo
