This quote blows me away. It would seem like being miserable would take less work. Just head to the sofa or refrigerator or both and sulk. But when I stopped to think about it, I find that I agree.
I think the key word here is ‘work’. It doesn’t seem like I work at being miserable, it seems like it’s easy. Some other person just does something and I think I’ve been ‘wronged’. But I think the ‘work’ part comes from letting go. From not taking it personally. From thinking how important is this?
Sometimes it is very important. Most of the time it isn’t.
For today, I’m going to focus my energy on becoming strong. Set my intention to be calm and clear. Let go of miserable. Just for today.

April 7, 2016I love your blog, I find it inspiring and it keeps me going throughout the week. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us all.
Also the image has spelled Carlos Castaneda’s name incorrectly, it’s a pet peeve of mine especially because “nada” means “nothing.”
