Today's Reminder


When we're in a frenzied state, searching for happiness outside ourselves and looking to others to provide our peace and stability, remember this:
Even if we could control things and people, even if we got what we wanted, we would still be ourselves.
Our emotional state would still be in turmoil.
People and things don't stop our pain or heal us.
That's our job.

Can share others peace and happiness and stability tho - if you're willing to share. Can sometimes borrow for a while as long as you know it's only a loan.

So everyone is individually responsible for their own happiness. I wish this was easier to do than it is to say.
