Nor are they pondering or planning what comes next. The now moment .. | Alan Cohen | ||
| a8c4ec3 | Be grateful, then, that you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, or fed up with what is not feeding you. Toleration of dysfunction only keeps it in force. Refuse to put up with what is not working, and you will find your way to your perfect place in the Great Design. | Alan Cohen | ||
| 29360c7 | Eventually each of us comes to the point where we realize that how we were taught to live is not the way we were born to live.
