“The waves in our mind’s ocean will keep on dashing against the rocks. The waves are the new thoughts and ideas that take shape in our mind. The rocks in our mind are the firm convictions that have been formed since our childhood. But we must learn to be flexible. It is a great advantage to be flexible rather than rigid in our mind. At the same time we must learn to be mindful. To be mindful is to allow the waves to flow and dash in their natural way. Let each wave flow and dash against each rock!”

“Thoughts… Be aware of what you’re thinking about. Make sure that you’re not allowing your mind to be preoccupied with a person or a problem so much so that it’s all you think about, talk about, dream about or feel about. If you’re connecting your problems and issues to everything that other people are saying and doing, you’re obsessing and you are disconnected from God.”
