New beginning or dead end?

 

The biggest part of midlife wisdom is learning this truth. We can not control the universe.

As we slowly learn to let go of the uncontrollables, a peace begins building within us.

This peace that gets stronger and more comprehensive as we experience small victories over our old thinking and feeling.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.  – Goethe

Are we good at what doesn’t matter and poor at what does?

We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive. — Thich Nhat Hanh
