"There is a very simple secret to being happy. Just let go of your demand on this moment.
.
Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering. Your demands keep you chained to the dream state of conditioned mind. The problem is that when there is a demand, you completely miss what is now.
.
Letting go applies to the highest sacred demand, and even to the demand for love. If you demand in some subtle way to be loved, even if you get love, it is never enough. In the next moment, the demand reasserts itself, and you need to be loved again. But as soon as you let go, there is knowing in that instant that there is love here already.
.
The mind is afraid to let go of its demand because the mind thinks that if it lets go, it is not going to get what it wants - as if demanding works.
.
This is not the way things work. Stop chasing peace and stop chasing love, and your heart becomes full. Stop trying to be a better person, and you are a better person. Stop trying to forgive, and forgiveness happens. Stop and be still."

“May today be the day
You run through the wilderness
Of every worry and collapse
Into the clearing of grace.
Grace to carry on.
Grace to trust in the unknown,
As you bravely tell the stories
Of where you have been,
And you boldly pursue
The journey of where you will go.
May you learn to embrace the freedom
That has long been calling your name
As you liberate courage in others
So they can do the same.”

“When you do things
From your soul,
You feel a river moving
In you,
A joy.”

“For too many centuries women have been being muses to artists. I wanted to be the muse, I wanted to be the wife of the artist, but I was really trying to avoid the final issue - that I had to do the job myself.”

“If you’re in a pivot period - if you’re still bridging the space between where you are and where you want to be – please remember that the person you’re becoming is already within you. The journey is convincing your mind to act consistently on what your heart already knows it wants to do.”

“Sometimes the people with the greatest potential often take the longest to find their path because their sensitivity is a double edged sword - it lives at the heart of their brilliance, but also makes them susceptible to life’s pains. Good thing we aren’t being penalised for handing in our purpose late. The soul doesn’t know a thing about deadlines.”

“A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretence and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself.”

“So many feel lethargic,
Unmotivated or worn out
In this hemisphere.
We are really not made
To rocket straight
Through winter,
Ablaze with energy.
Look at nature.
The ground and plants
And animals
Are deep at rest.
This is the natural
Way of things.
Spend some time
With the long nights,
The moon, solitude,
The bare earth, stillness.
Be easier on yourself.”

“You’re going to realise it one day – that happiness was never about your job, or your degree, or being in a relationship. Happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all of those who came before you, it was never about being like the others. One day, you’re going to see it – that happiness was always about the discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go. Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself, it was always about embracing the person you were becoming. One day, you will understand. That happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that happiness was never in the hands of other people. It was always about you….it was always about you.”
