Description
Quote I’m Contemplating
"In the most health-obsessed society ever, all is not well."
— Gabor Maté and Daniel Maté, The Myth of Normal
Book I’ve Started Reading
The Courage to Let Go
“Behind all of the “I can’ts” are merely “I won’ts.” The “I won’ts” mean “I am afraid to” or “I am ashamed to” or “I have too much pride to try, for fear I might fail.” Behind that is anger at ourselves and circumstances engendered by pride. Acknowledging and letting go of these feelings brings us up to courage and, with that, finally acceptance and an inner peacefulness, at least as it regards the area which has been surmounted.”
― David R. Hawkins, Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender
