All quotes from
Ezra's book
Whenever we feel
frustrated in any way, if we simply ask, “How is it supposed to be?” --- we’ll
see that our discomfort is based, at least in part, on the entitled belief that
we should feel different, namely
better.
No matter
what is going on or how we feel about it, the essence of spiritual practice is
to honestly acknowledge what is happening in the moment and stay present with
our experience of it.
In
spiritual practice, to know we don’t know and yet keep practicing is the way we
go deeper.
Don’t
mistake naming for knowing.
Health
is not the absence of illness; it is the state of being undefeated by illness.
Almost all of our difficulties in relationships come from wanting
people to be different than they are.
Courage
is not about being unafraid. Courage is
the willingness to be with fear.
Don’t
try to change; just be aware.
“Just let
it go” is more a philosophy than an option.
If it were possible to “just let go,” we’d all know freedom right
now. Often our only real choice is to
just let it be.
