The future is scary, but you can't just run back to the past because it's familiar. Yes, it's tempting, but, it's a mistake.

History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats. - Bertie C. Forbes

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. - Henry David Thoreau

If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill, take it and push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to the wildest edge of edges, then you force it into the realm of magic. - Tom Robbins

I will never ever allow little me (or little you) to get in the way of this true, precious, sacred expression. I vow to allow that free little girl in me to have a voice, to let it pour. I vow to turn my attention to all that is beautiful and True and Alive and good. I vow to say YES when I want to say yes and no when I want to say no. I vow to keep showing up, to keep beginning even when little me has no idea how to do that. I vow to let go and let go and let go. I vow to ask for guidance again and again, to get quiet and listen, to stop trying to do it all with my little shoulding voice. I vow to allow myself to be human, to make mistakes, to not know, to be messy-all-over-the-place, beautiful, unique, just right Me.

I vow to allow God to be more sacred than good.

-Kind Over Matter

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again - this time more intelligently. - Henry Ford

Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand - relax. If you relax, it comes. It you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it. - Osho

I will be there by your side when you are hurt.

If you want to know where your heart is, look to where your mind goes when it wanders.

Tell me your secrets, I'll show you all the places I was scared to go.

Overthinking will ruin you. Ruin the situation, turn things around, make you worry, and just make things worse than they actually are. Don't do it.

My life has unfolded perfectly in every way.

My life has been a perfect journey in all ways.

I embrace this perfection and create from this place of Divine perfection now.

I am shining my brightest possible light into the world now.

The world joyfully received my highest possible light.

I am loved and cherished by all.

From "The Little eBook of Big Affirmations"

Letting go doesn't mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.

亲爱的，出去玩累了、受伤了的话就回来吧。。

我还在这里等你。。

Dream #001

He wrote me a letter explaining why he got back together with her. But that part of the letter was covered by some sort of material. The only part that popped out is the answer to the question I've asked him that one night - whether he love me or not. The answer is:"Yes."

Thank you, Dream #001 for identifying my fear and releasing it. =)

Dream #002

He brought me back home to meet with his family. Unlike the previous dream where he brought me back to his home and I had to sabotaged it by imagining bad things happening to his family member; this time it didn't happen. I had the courage to say:"Yes."

Thank you, Dream #002 for making me realize that I have the courage to go love and I'm worthy to be loved.

Conversation #001 with K:

L: Would you ever be with someone who loves you but you don't love him or her?

K: I have never be in that kind of situation so I wouldn't know how to answer you.

Conversation #002 with K:

L: What's the different between 放下 and 放弃?

K: 放下 is letting go and 放弃 is giving up.

L: How do you differentiate between those two?

K: Giving up means you've lost hope; letting go means you've forgotten and once you've let go, you will find happiness and inner peace. 

L: Letting go means you have faith that things will work out in the end. =)

Poem #001:
Allow by Donna Faulds
There is no controlling life.
Try corralling a lightning bolt,
containing a tornado. Dam a
stream and it will create a new
channel. Resist, and the tide
will sweep you off your feet.
Allow, and grace will carry
you to higher ground. The only
safety lies in letting it all in -
the wild and the weak; fear,
fantasies, failures and success.
When loss rips off the doors of
the heart, or sadness veils your
vision with despair, practice
becomes simply bearing the truth.
In the choice to let go of your
known way of being, the whole
world is revealed to your new eyes.
Go In and In: Poems From the Heart of Yoga

Why Not You? by Steve Maraboli
Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration. Why not you?

Today, many will open their eyes to the beauty that surrounds them. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today.Why not you?

Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?

Today, for many the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. Why not you?

Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact with their powerful innate strength. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to be free themselves from their personal imprisonment of their bad habits. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you?

Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you?

Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you?

Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you?

Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you?

Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you?

Today is a new day!
Many will seize this day.
Many will live it to the fullest.
Why not you?

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. - Barack Obama

Quote #002:
Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. - Raymond Lindquist

Quote #003:
Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

From Roots of She:

Live with a deep generosity of spirit and express gratitude daily.
Abundance will follow.

Einstein said:" If you head tells you one thing, and your heart tells you another, before you do anything decide first, whether you have a better head or a better heart."

Everything you are, and everything you have, started as a thought in your mind. Your body is merely there to manifest physically that which the mind tells it to do. Everything starts with you telling the mind what you desire. - Thomas D. Willhite

Quote #003:
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow."

Quote #004:
No does not mean never. It just means not yet.

Quote #005:
You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. - Sam Keen

Quote #006:
When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. - Audre Lorde

This is how I feel about you...

Past, Present and Future

Past, present and future. Which one do you want to control or change?

The way I see it is:

"You can't control the future without controlling the present and you can only control the present by letting go of the past."
