self-responsibility … (07/30/11)

“Has it ever occurred to you that the reason everything you touch goes wrong is because you insist on touching the wrong things? …

You’ve got to stop beating your head against a wall. All you’re doing is giving yourself a headache.” ~ Uncle Cullen (from “Uncorked”)

“There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips we lay on ourselves … never touch our basic wealth.

They are like clouds that only temporarily block the sun, while all the time our warmth and brilliance are right there.” ~ Pema Chodron
