Those who flaunt themselves are not clear.” TTC- chp. 24 (Derek Lin) The opposite of humility is arrogance and the Tao Te Ching does not mince words about living arrogantly. I have lived a life of trying to find a way to onlyContinue reading “Tao Te Ching Day 13: Arrogance”

Morning Thoughts
Sometimes the only thing we can do is wait for the sun to come up. Wait for the storm to pass. Wait for the nightmare to be over. Then we can give thanks for the strength, patience and grace to withstand that which we can not control. In the most difficult times, sow deeper rootsContinue reading “Morning Thoughts”
The Race of Human: We Are Not Separate #WritingCommunity #SaturdayMotivation
I woke up in a dark room, that’s good because I turned the light off before I fell asleep and if somehow it turned on while I was sleeping then I would think, “is there a ghost?” I wake up unhappy a lot.

Be Willing- Follow the Inspiration. #writingcommunity #WendnesdayMotivation

We follow fear to the tune of hiding under our covers. We follow those that have gone before even when their paths have led to damnation. We follow aContinue reading “Be Willing- Follow the Inspiration. #writingcommunity #WendnesdayMotivation”
I Am Quitting! #writingcommunity
I have had enough. I am sick and tired of the same thing over and over again. I am so done with this crap. I pour my soul out and this is what I get. I can’t go on doing it anymore. I can no longer hold on to the ideals I thought I believedContinue reading “I Am Quitting! #writingcommunity”
