Your uncertainties are a product of your desires.
Craving is a contract with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.
Certainty is necessary for comfort, but uncertainty is essential for a meaningful life.
If there’s no space to grow, you’re in the wrong place.
People don’t hate change—they hate discomfort and coercion.
Every expectation is another brick in your self-constructed prison cell.
To worry is to pray for something bad to happen.
Concern is useful; worry is useless.
Excess metastasizes…
Clinging is an unconscious agreement with yourself to be unhappy until you develop the courage to let go.
