Love versus Attachment

Love allows your beloved the freedom to be unlike you. Attachment asks for conformity to your needs and desires. Love imposes no demands. Attachment expresses an overwhelming demand – "Make me feel whole." Love expands beyond the limits of two people. Attachment tries to exclude everything but two people. - Deepak Chopra 

 If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was. - Richard Bach

 All life is change. Release your attachment to the way things have been, and wend your way joyfully through life's unfolding majesty. - Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Life Happens

Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions.
All life is an experiment.
The more experiments you make the better.
What if they are a little coarse,
and you may get your coat soiled or torn?
What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled
in the dirt once or twice.
Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

A life lived in fear is a life half lived.
- Anonymous

A well-developed sense of humor

I become happy when I choose to accept and love all of life.

Failure

Success consists of going from failure to failure
without loss of enthusiasm.
- Winston Churchill

A man can fail many times,
but he isn't a failure until he
begins to blame somebody else.
- John Burroughs

Remember that not getting what you want
is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

Understand the difference between "failing,"
which each of us does often,
and "being a failure,"
which is a state of mind no one should
ever allow themself to fall into.

Sometimes you get the results you wanted,
sometimes you don't.
What matters is that you did your best.

Know that your true self,
a spiritual being,
is always perfect.
