One day or day one. You decide.
Organizing is the problem, not the solution.
Letting go of a thing involves letting go of our false stories about the thing.
If it makes you uncomfortable, it’s worth doing; if it makes you miserable, it’s worth letting go.
The world is the way you see it.
You don’t have to change the WORLD to CHANGE the world.
Letting go is the antidote to hopelessness.
The fear of letting go is the fuel for clinging.
Positive emotions create attachments; attachments create negative emotions.
Grace is measured by one’s ability to surrender to their imperfect past.
