“You think because you face situations not of your making that you exercise no choice? That you are helpless? To the contrary, child. Your whole life has been full of choices. Hiding from a hard truth is a choice. Surrender - even to the inevitable - is a choice. Even in death there is a choice. You may have no control over the time or manner of your death, but you can choose how you face it.” ThinkingMayChildrenHas BeensHardWholeFacesChoicesSituationExerciseTruth IsContraryWhole LifeSurrenderInevitableHidingHelplessHard Truths Author:C.

“You don't need to suffer anymore. You've suffered enough to take you to this point where you hear the words, "You don't need to suffer anymore," and you understand them. You recognize their truth and you then see that you do have a choice that you can surrender to the suchness of now, which means every moment to relinquish resistance and if it still arises, to recognize it.” IfsNeedsMeanStillsEnoughMomentsSufferingChoicesSurrenderAriseResistance Author:Eckhart Tolle
