Pain

I hear so much pain in the these emails and it gives me hope. for a person to feel such desolation opens the mind to the capacity of true joy. true freedom comes from letting go of this obsession of what we ‘think’ we are supposed to be, and accepting ‘now’ as it comes each moment. i hear many wonderful questions, and assure you there are answers for what you seek. the buddha and krishna and jesus are all great beginnings and have been my guide, but in the end you are your greatest teacher. find something that feels healthy and right and keep doing it. for me exercise, meditation, yoga and surrender to God have given me much peace after my tragedy. i wish you luck. swami vivekananda told us that this life is a great gymnasium of pain, in which we grow stronger. happiness is perspective, the good news is we have 100% control over our perspective, what else can you say that about?
