Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.

Hurt feelings or discomfort of any kind cannot be caused by another person. No one outside me can hurt me. That's not a possibility. It's only when I believe a stressful thought that I get hurt. And I'm the one who's hurting me by believing what I think. This is very good news, because it means that I don't have to get someone to stop hurting me. It's within my power.

- Byron Katie

Gratitude

All we have is all we need. All we need is the awareness of how blessed we really are.

Restoring Balance and Harmony

All of nature seeks to restore balance to the system.  If your external world is in perfect order but inside you're a mess, or vice versa - perhaps your internal world is as peaceful as a windless lake yet the contents of your life are in disarray, then give some TLC to whatever area is out of harmony - all of life seeks to re-harmonize itself - your conscious attention can go a long way to restoring this balance. Pay attention and lovingly attend to whatever it is you find.
