Happiness Now

“It is not your passing thoughts or brilliant ideas so much as your plain everyday habits that control your life…. Live simply. Don’t get caught in the machine of the world— it is too exacting. By the time you get what you are seeking your nerves are gone, the heart is damaged, and the bones are aching. Resolve to develop your spiritual powers more earnestly from now on. Learn the art of right living. If you have joy you have everything, so learn to be glad and contented…. Have happiness now.”
(Paramahansa Yogananda)

Have happiness now.
Don’t wait until all pieces are in place…
There are too many moving parts.

Powerful Force

“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.” (Yehuda Berg)

And before a word, a space.
Space to feel a word before it goes out to the world.
Space to calm the mind.
Space.
