We get things into our heads...

.....We decide they have to be a certain way. When they work out as we want them to, we celebrate. When they don't, we feel disappointed. So deeply attached do we become to these expectations that we cannot bring ourselves to question their importance. We are not interested in any other view of reality. Success equals what we wanted to happen. Failure equals something else.



Sometimes, by avoiding that attitude, we can experience a very pleasing development.


If you had not suffered as you have, there would be no depth to you, no humility, no compassion. (Eckhart Tolle)
