A life of quality means different things to different people. It can’t be denied that people are very stressed, and can’t stop long enough to think about changing their life of stress. Let’s say “can’t” since if change as a possibility doesn’t even enter the mind, how is it possible to change? Feeling that things have to be a certain way, that this is how life is, and that’s that, is not freedom, is not independence-is living a low-energy life. Some people thrive on stress. They don’t need to take anything to calm down. That’s a whole different ballgame. Quality of life either way is what’s important.
Ah, the beginning of something wondrous is the minute someone gets an inkling that maybe, just maybe, there are other ways of living that are not stressful, other ways that can bring happiness. Mainstream anything generally writes the same old same old. You simply have to be aware of the possibilities.
“You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust.
You were born with ideals and dreams.
You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You were not meant for crawling- so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.”
-Rumi
“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. Unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no men could have dreamed would have come his way.”
-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
