"People suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we release those views, we are free and we don't suffer anymore." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

I love the slogan: “Pain is inevitable; but suffering is optional.”

When I first heard this about ten years ago, I ceased and desist with the suffering. I realized that I did not have to suffer – I chose to suffer. Yes, crap still goes on all around you. But how do you choose to view the crap? If you view crap as crap, then your life will be full of crap. But if you view crap as fertilizer, then your life will flourish. Get the picture?

Remember, you have the power to create your reality; to write your own story. If you don’t like the life you are living, then do something about it. Once we recognize this power within, then we can be at peace. There is no peace until we let go of the suffering.

Are you ready to mind your own story, create your new life and let go of the suffering?

Then, just do it!

"What you resist, persists..."


Make an agreement to "Don't Make Assumptions," and honor your agreement. When you are assuming, you are living in judgment. Instead of assuming and judging, simply ask a question. We make assumptions because we don't know the answer. What do we do if we don't know something? WE ASK!

Where did we lose that? Asking questions is one of the biggest keys to success. Again, we assume that someone will think we are stupid or not in the know. Well, who in the hell cares if you are not in the know? Someone who won't care anyway, and who may not know themselves? Stop worrying about what other people think of you. Because truthfully, what other people think of you is none of your business.

Suffering and struggling comes from resisting and not accepting what is. We cannot change what has happened, but we can change how we react and show up to what has happened. To help us make better choices, we must ask better questions.

Stop struggling. Stop resisting what is. Stop making assumptions. JUST STOP! Remember, stopping is a spiritual action.
