I stumbled upon this excerpt today:
“A Buddhist principle is that all suffering is in the mind. I pondered this concept: beauty suffering is grounded in the mind. If I eliminate or change what I think about and focus on, then it follows that I can end my suffering and struggle with my body. My body is not the root of my suffering, my mind is. And equally, my body is not the root of my happiness, my mind is.
{Let that sink in a moment}
It’s all within, and it is all about YOU“
That is an excerpt from Steph’s blog, Back in Skinny Jeans.
I have only stumbled upon her blog today, but I’m eager to read more 
Because reading that alone, not that I didn’t know it already, the simplicity of the statement really helps me.
Even though what I have going on doesn’t feel simple, and it will need time and help working out the kinks – it is what it is and I need to move forward and not bring everything to a halt while I work on the stuff. So yeah, had to share that – it meant a lot to me and a great way to start my day!
oh hun bun. *hugs*
Wow, what a profound quote. Our minds are so powerful, and able to inflict both positive and negative changes. I hope you find your way through all this soon! You are a beautiful woman and deserve to live your life out loud!!!!
Thanks for the hugs, Kat.
Thanks Jenn – I love what you wrote me! Live life out loud
Thanks for sharing that! I really liked it and need to reread it again and again.
We are hear for you sweetie!
*here (we are here to listen = hear)
Thanks for that wonderful and eye-opening post. Indeed, our mind dictates a lot of how we feel and how we regards things.
