Being Enough

I found this book in my office today, left behind by another paper pusher who came before me.  I wanted to share a few of the thoughts put forth in the book.  The book is called "Being Enough" and it's written by Leigh Sanders. "Willingly confronting the obstacles in our lives and avoiding the temptation to paint them as problems.  Choosing rather to savor the rush of spontaneity they can introduce in our experience of this particular time.  Patiently abiding the periods in our life passage during which activity wanes, visible progress ceases and we have only to wait for our good to appear without struggle.  Content to be in this moment, blessing the process and accepting the past with quiet gratitute." "In our striving to prove ourselves, to compete, to please, to succeed, we lose touch with our own adequacy and our natural wholeness.  And why?  Most often because we are attempting to live a truth that is not ours, to follow a path that is not natural for us.  We bend, stretch and reach beyond our grasp to achieve, to perform.  But for whom?" "I am thoroughly in love with me -- honoring who I am today, blessing my progress and supporting my quest to serve and my deservedness to receive.  I am free -- free because I have awakened to my lack of control.  Letting go of my attachment to the outcomes -- holding only to the quality of the spiritual growth and the richness of life experience."

There is no substitute for spiritual growth and richness of life experience, except possibly cheddar cheese. I'm pretty sure cheese is the pathway to Nirvana.

LOL the extra sharp, which sadly does not come in low fat varieties, damnit.  But yeah, cheese is a definite tie.

yes there is a sharp low fat...Dubliner cheese has one! Okay, it does have a rancid taste to it.  I am saving this post for good.  Yes, we are enough just the way we are.
