trying to be content in the moment and rid myself of attachment
Don’t think about the things you can’t do.
Think about the things you can do.
No matter what the level of your ability is,
you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.
You have powers you never dreamed of.
You can do things you never thought you could do.
There are no limitations to what you can do
except the limitations of your own mind.
Your range of available choices right now is limitless.
Look at things as they can be.
Never say never.
“When emotions are managed by the heart, they heighten your awareness of the world around you and add sparkle to life. The result is new intelligence and a new view of life.”
– Doc Childre and Howard Martin
How do you intellectualize your emotions?
Many of us live so much in our heads that we intellectualize our emotions. We analyze, rationalize and explain them away so quickly that we don’t actually experience them.
Learn to honour your emotions at all times by being willing to feel them. Of course, you may need to exercise some judgment over how and when you express them.
“Learning to be aware of feelings, how they arise and how to use them creatively so they guide us to happiness, is an essential lifetime skill.”
– Joan Borysenko

“We are continually faced with great opportunities which are brilliantly disguised as unsolvable problems.”
– Margaret Mead
“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.”
– Francis Bacon
“What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live — with your self-respect alive and growing.”
– Maxwell Maltz
