If such writers go wrong, it is not for the mere brains to tell them so ~Gertrude Atherton

#quotes #gary-taubes #motivation #creativity #science

There is a very simple secret to being happy. Just let go of your "demand" on this moment. Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering. You are arguing with "what is." Your demands keep you chained to the "dream state" of the conditioned mind. The desire to "control" is, ultimately, our unwillingness to just be awake. ~Adyashanti
