Pressures Quotes

is a desire for a life with less pressure.

When we hate our enemies, we are
giving them power over us:
power over our sleep, our appetites,
our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness.
Our enemies would dance with joy if only
they knew how they were worrying us,
lacerating us, and getting even with us!
Our hate is not hurting them at all,
but our hate is turning our own days
and nights into a hellish turmoil.

Release each fear - your fears about your health,
your family, your job, and every other fear.

But, if pain is to be a companion, searching and discovering
your own best ways to travel with that pain

and the experiences of others may inspire you,
ultimately it will be the choices you discover
and make for yourself that lead you to certain joy
in the midst of your challenges.
