You’re afraid that if you found happiness—and kept it—everything you once believed to be true would chip away and you’d fall into a wide open crack of having to admit you were wrong.

the thing you want made you so ashamed that you just decided that you’d do everything you can do make sure you never need it again. You can’t lose what you never let yourself reach for. You cover up that wanting with nonchalance because admitting that you can cave to your desires...

You’re scared of having what you want because that thing, alive and pulsing, would require something of you: honesty.

You are not your mind The mind constantly "talks" — but you are not that voice. You are just an observer. Observe your thoughts without identifying with them. Freedom begins when you stop believing every thought that enters your mind. ℹ️ The Power of Now
