Only You Can Choose The Nature Of

The Mistake We Have Made In Our Lives Is That Over And Over Again We've Run Into The Needful Moment And Then Failed To Learn Its Higher Lesson. We Don't Like Needful Moments And Therefore We Resist Them.

We Need To See, And Agree That What We Seek Already Lives Within Us, And We Within It. Now We Know Our One Great Task: Watch For Whatever Promises Us Freedom, And Then Quietly, Consciously Refuse To See Ourselves Through The Eyes Of What We Know Is Incomplete. Then We Live Wholeness Itself, Instead Of Spending Our Lives Looking For It.

Statistics Vary, But In Less Than Seven Years There Won't Be A Single Cell Left In Any Of Our Bodies That's The Same As It Is Today. This Means That Any Human Being Who 'wants' To Change Is Like A Mountain River Wanting To Reach The Valley Floor. It's A Done Deal; That's What Mountain Rivers Do, And 'changing' Should Be Our First Nature.

Past Mistakes Cannot Create A Present Pain; No Mistake In Life Has The Power To Make Us Ache Any More Than The Echo Of Someone Crying Can Shed Tears.

Instead Of Always Asking Yourself Why So-and-so Acts This Or That Way, Learn To Ask: "what's Inside Of Me That Wants To Hurt Itself Over How Anyone Else Acts?"
