Let’s turn it around! We do not even need to go into the story of it. We acknowledge this moment and release it. We love and accept and forgive ourselves. And we acknowledge that this is a tiny stitch, a brief pinprick in the needlepoints we are creating of our lives. And we also acknowledge that this lifetime of ours is but a tiny little stitch in the ever-expanding, infinite needlepoint of the Universe. Self-pity is not a reason good enough for us to be out of alignment with peace.","author":"Alaric Hutchinson","tags":["consciousness","forgiveness","growth","inner-peace","inspirational","needlework","peace","psychology","release","self-actualization","self-help","self-improvement","spiritual","universe","wisdom","zen"],"id":49367,"author_id":"Alaric+Hutchinson"},{"text":"Every time I go to sleep, I know I may never wake up. How could anyone expect to? You drop your tiny, helpless mind into a bottomless well, crossing your fingers and hoping that when you pull it out on its flimsy fishing wire it hasn't been gnawed to bones by the beasts below.

If you let go of fear, fear lets go of you. If you release guilt, guilt will release you. How do you do that? By choosing to. It's that simple.","author":"Donald L.

If someone hurts you – ask them - “What hurts you so much that you would do this?” Listen to the answer and try to understand what is valid for them. They may have been fighting for your attention, but no one thinks of themselves as attackers, only defenders! So don’t judge their ways, only set them free by giving them a chance to speak. You may both learn a lot from your kindness and courage in asking for the truth. But even if nothing changes, release it, remember that you both have a right to be who you choose to be. When we make judgements we're inevitably acting on limited knowledge, so ask if you seek to understand, or simply let them be!","author":"Jay Woodman","tags":["attention","courage","forgive","judge","judgements","kindness","listen","release","speak","truth","understand"],"id":65341,"author_id":"Jay+Woodman"},{"text":"In one way or another, every mission that I have ever set out on to rescue myself is yet another mission that I end up needing to be rescued from.
