Mini Motivation

Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon;
suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens.
Events may create physical pain,
but they do not in themselves create suffering.
Resistance creates suffering.
Stress happens when your mind resists what is…
The only problem in your life is
your mind’s resistance to life as it unfolds.

(Dan Millman in The Way of the Peaceful Warrior)

    Wow,that’s powerful! “your mind’s resistance to what unfolds.” I am reminded again of “Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.”

    Thank you so much for this quote. I said something kind of rude last night and I’ve been holding on to it all morning feeling guilty (aka: suffering). The only way to move past it is to accept what happened and move forward. :)
