“with our thoughts—any thought—we lose touch with the peace and contentment of the Now.”
― Gina Lake, Embracing the Now: Finding Peace and Happiness in What Is

“The desires that run through your thought-stream, which you might be tempted to pray for, don’t represent what is best for you, even if they seem to. People who are sick are sure they would be better off well, and most who are single are sure they would be better off in a relationship. But this isn’t necessarily true. The ego doesn’t see the whole picture or the long-range picture. It doesn’t see the benefits in being sick or single, or in other challenges. That which is living your life knows much better than the ego what is best for you.”

“But the hero lets the future take care of itself, because he knows the future never actually arrives. In reality, all there ever is, is one moment moving naturally and gracefully into the next, with or without the mind’s ceaseless thoughts.”
― Gina Lake, A Heroic Life: New Teachings from Jesus on the Human Journey

“The hero noticed that if he let love, excitement, and joy lead him, he would be happy and find his way to greater love, peace, and happiness. He discovered that love is both the path and the reward of following the path.”
