the healer you have been looking for is your own courage to know and love yourself completely - Yung Pueblo

forcing ourselves
to be happy is not
genuine or useful
being honest
about what we feel,
while remaining calm
and aware
is the real work.

gratitude makes you happy attachment makes you struggle gentleness reveals inner wisdom harshness reveals inner turbulence calmness supports good decisions solitude supports transformation

It is easier to step away from an argument and remain calm when you realize they are not picking a fight with you. They are actually fighting themselves.
