Do our lives flow well? Are you fearful?

“We can suffer or we can choose to do everything in our control to relieve our suffering.”

“If you decide that your good and advantage lies only in things that are free and unrestricted and completely under your control, you will be free, peaceful, unharmed, high-minded, reverent, thankful.”

“Some things torment us more than they should; some earlier than they should; and some when they should not torment us at all. We exaggerate, or imagine, or anticipate sorrow. Let us put off the first of these three faults.”

“Every moment you get the opportunity to experience the full richness of existence. That can take many forms, from developing a virtuous habit to appreciating a beautiful sunset to feeling deep gratitude for a loved one.”

“... we can find beauty in our companions and environment no matter where we are. Instead of longing for “beautiful” objects or surroundings, we can identify the deep beauty that resides in every person, place, and thing.”
