Not My Cup Of Chai

“I’m right there, swimming the river of hardships but I know how to swim.”

“Studies show that most emotions last no longer than 90 seconds unless we attach stories to them. You have a feeling of being lonely—and this will pass through you quickly unless you make up a story about how you’re lonely because you’re unlovable and worthless and nobody will ever love you and you’re going to be alone forever. When you attach to the story, you suffer needlessly and the suffering can linger for years. But you don’t have to choose to suffer this way. Your soul can find peace, comfort, and stillness even in the most difficult times if you’re able to view your negative emotions from this witness position.”

“I’m not much like myself any more.”

“I am healing by mistake. Rome is also built on ruins.”

“The biggest human temptation is to settle for too little.”
