Life is full and overflowing with the new, but it is necessary to empty out the old and make room for the new to enter. The emptying out process can be very painful, but it is necessary. You have to be willing to unlearn so much to make room for all those new and wonderful truths to enter and to become part of you. It is more difficult to unlearn than it is to learn. You may experience that feeling of barrenness, of having nothing to hold onto, of being alone and bereft of everything, a life dead and empty and with no meaning to it. Realise that it is a process of being emptied of the old so you can be filled with the new. Never give up faith. Then you can begin again in newness of spirit and of truth.

Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

 When the heart is at ease, the body is healthy.

- Chinese Proverb

 Let my words, like vegetables, be tender and sweet, for tomorrow I may have to eat them.

- Pam Lampe

Don't wait for the other fellow to do all the changing. Look within yourself and see what you can do to create the right atmosphere, what you can do to cooperate and unite. Only as each individual sees what his specific part is in creating unity and harmony can peace reign. 

- Guidance channeled through Eileen Caddy

 Thinking stressful thoughts has the same effect on your metabolism as eating excess calories.

Breakfast

The art of breakfast has to do with creating a relationship with yourself that lasts throughout the whole day, spreading feelings of wellness and satisfaction into all that you do.

If you take the time to make yourself a breakfast that fits your mood and needs, and the kind of day you have ahead of you, you set in motion a wave of self-care and responsibility that remains with you throughout the day.

- John Robbins, Diet for a New World (1992)
