“Life is difficult. This fact is a great truth. Once we truly see this truth, we can transcend it. Most do not fully see the truth that life is difficult. Instead, they moan incessantly, noisily, or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, burdens, and difficulties as if life were generally easy as if life should be easy.” — Scott Peck (The Road Less Traveled)

“How intention glows determines where attention goes, neural firing flow, and neural and interpersonal connection grow.” – Daniel J. Siegel (Aware – The Science and Practice of Presence)

“Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.  The warriors approach is to say “yes” to life:  “yea” to it all.” —Joseph Campbell (The Hero with a Thousand Faces)
