MaXIMIze - Focus On What Is, Not What You Think Is

As I scan the Twitter posts from the folks I follow every morning, I jot down the quotes that call to me that day. Here are the ones from this morning:

I remind myself daily that I'm not seeing things as they are but seeing things as I am. - Fay Hart

As long as you have certain desires about how it ought to be, you can't see how it is. - Ram Dass

We must be careful what we imagine, fear, or hope for. The echoes of our thought live on in eternity. 
- Robert Fanney

A man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is. - Bhagavad Gita

We all have a tendency at times to read too much into a word, a phrase, a situation when we really should just let it go, let it roll, let it be. We are all just people living in our own bubbles, and we don't always see what goes on in other's bubbles.

We bring the darkness and the light of our own thoughts into that which is our own reality. Note I said "our own reality." The Reality is not necessarily what we think it is or should be. It simply is what it is. And we need to learn to let it go, let it roll, let it be.

Namaste.
