Awakening Quote of the Week:
“If you want to be happy, you have to let go of the part of you that wants to create melodrama. You have to transcend the personal, and as you do, you will naturally awaken to the higher aspects of your being. Enjoying life’s experiences is the only rational thing to do. You’re sitting on a planet spinning around in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Go ahead, take a look at reality. You’re floating in empty space in a universe that goes on forever. If you have to be here, at least be happy and enjoy the experience. You gain nothing by being bothered by life’s events. It doesn’t change the world; you just suffer.” — Michael Singer
