p.o.w.~worth remembering
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead,
either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.
~Benjamin Franklin

{i endeavour to write & to do things
worth remembering~sb}
p.o.w.~adjusting
Why be unhappy about something if you can change it?
And if you can’t, how will being unhappy help?
~ Shantideva, ancient Indian spiritual scholar
{this was a wise question
about adjusting my attitude
posed to me by my mother
when i was seven or eight.
altho, i understood it
way back then ~
it took me many years
to put it into practice.
ever-thanks mom~sb}
w.o.w.~3 Lessons from my everyday happiness that will lead to my fantastic traveling {by sarah nean bruce}
for many people,
those 3 traveling lessons
in the Tiny Buddha article
might sound simpler and be easier
when they are not at home…
but ironically for me
{in my past travels
to incredible locales
with various people}
i haven’t entirely
been able to execute
these elementary exercises.
.
there was often
much expectation
and circumstance
and fear
injected and
imposed and
intertwined and
twisted
upon the situation and
the trip.
{please READ MORE}
quick post~revisiting, remembering, contemplating and reminding
{REMEMBERING} “When I made a decision to let go of the past & to not worry about things that haven’t happened yet, I got to experience a paradigm shift in consciousness.”
{CONTEMPLATING} “What relationships should have ended months or years ago? Cleanse, clear, release, & in your emptiness, you shall be filled with good.”
