Quote by Kelly Corbet

“Shoulds' come only from leftover thinking. If we are truly in this moment (the only one there really is), we don’t should on ourselves. It’s a great freedom. Next time you feel a should coming at you, ask yourself if it really belongs to you!”

“The energy fueling everything we do is what matters most. EVERY. “LITTLE.” THING. Even if we’re changing a toilet paper roll, we can do it joyfully, instead of wasting time resenting the person who used that last square and neglected to replace it. “Little” responses like that add up in the movie of our life. We don’t really get to play the martyr anymore, but that’s a great role to give up. Better to play the happy star of our own show.”

“I deeply believe that we each have our own, very special form of Love to manifest. It’s what we came to do, and if we lived that manifested Love, the way we see the world would change completely! Notice how I didn’t say, “by manifesting Love we could change the world completely”? Changing the world is never my goal. Did you just gasp? Shouldn’t every helpful “spiritual person” want to change the world? My guess? Nah. My job is to change my view of the world to live in a way not separated from Love; to live in manifested Love; and to shine it so brightly everywhere, that all those ideas about our separateness fade in that brightness. Remembering the Love that we are is what gives us the power to change our world, from the inside out, where the power always is.”

“Was it really a bad day, or did those bad ten minutes get replayed all day (out loud or to yourself)? Reframing is powerful. So is stopping to breathe. Try them both! ● ☐ ● Sometimes, when something “bad” happens, do you imagine telling your best friend? Your spouse? Your dog (dogs always understand and never judge!)? So, essentially, instead of training yourself out of the bad mood, do you train yourself to prolong it?”

“Even as I hold you I think of you as someone gone far, far away. Your eyes the color of pennies in a bowl of dark honey bringing sweet light to someone else your black hair slipping through my fingers is the flash of your head going around a corner your smile, breaking before me, the flippant last turn of a revolving door, emptying you out, changed, away from me. Even as I hold you I am letting go.”

“A lot of people I know regularly step on a scale to tyrannically inform them how disciplined/valuable/beautiful they are or are not. The number that shows up next to their toes has a lot of power over how they feel. But why? Probably because they decide in advance what the “ideal” number should be, and not matching that, well, they get triggered. What if we decided that no device, no history, no religion, no ancestry had the power to “measure” us? Who we are is so much bigger than any scale or assessment could ever capture!”
