let it phase you

I don't believe that things happen to you by chance.  If something affects you in one way or another, you have 'chosen' to be aware of this opportunity which allows for personal growth. 


Do you ever read something and think "aha! that's it! that's me 100% - that quote was put there for me to see it today and that's just as luck would have it."  


That quote was there regardless of your situation or circumstance - yet you made the choice for it to affect you.  Think about how powerful that is - you chose to be affected.  You might have read that several times before but now - now is when you chose. Now take that and apply it to everything you encounter today.


Here's what I chose to be aware of this morning when it came across my feed:


"What you resist persists.  And then suddenly when you let go of resistance you let go of an attachment to something.To be okay with what is, which is the simplicity of this moment, is the beginning of true change."

Ah, thank you Eckhart.
