“ With attachment all that seems to exist is just me & that object I desire. ”
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
~ Sharon Salzberg
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Mindfulness can play a big role in transforming our experience with pain & other difficulties, it allows us to recognize the authenticity of the distress & yet not be overwhelmed by it.
If you’re reading these words, perhaps it’s because something has kicked open the door for you, and you’re ready to embrace change. It isn’t enough to appreciate change from afar, or only in the abstract, or as something that can happen to other people but not to you. We need to create change for ourselves, in a workable way, as part of our everyday lives.
