“I listened carefully as he described his little girl's first steps. He encouraged her to keep her eyes on him, and only when she didn't, did she stumble. Only when she lost her focus, when she became too conscious of the steps she was taking, did she fall.”
― Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have

“Intuition is only a mirror. It does not create anything, it only reflects. It reflects that which is.”
― Osho, Intuition: Knowing Beyond Logic

“Reframing what happens to us can be a healthy way to survive terrible things, or it can become a veil of denial that keeps us from moving on. Often, we simply have to trust that we will see the truth of things when we are strong enough and ready.
Yet the danger in not seeing things as they are or were is that we can start to believe that in order to learn something we need someone to throw us off the boat, or out of the relationship. If we can't see the difference between the cruelty or hardship we experience and the wisdom waiting in our reflex to survive, we can find ourselves needing crisis and pain in order to learn. While much learning comes form crisis and pain, not all of it needs to.
We don't need something to go wrong in order to change.”
― Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have

“We are not responsible for more than our own action, but for this we should take complete responsibility. Then the results will follow of themselves, in a manner we may not always be able to foresee. We do not always have to foresee every possibility.”
