Pema Chodron, a great teacher and superb writer for Western audiences:
”YOU HAVE A CHOICE
If you have embarked on this journey of self-reflection, you may be at a place that everyone, sooner or later, experiences on the spiritual path. After a while it seems like almost every moment of your life you’re there, where you realize you have a choice. You have a choice whether to open or close, whether to hold on or let go, whether to harden or soften, whether to hold your seat or strike out. That choice is presented to you again and again and again."
I think one of the biggest blocks people have is that they often forget that THEY HAVE A CHOICE! It may be hard to see, difficult to extricate ourselves from fear, sadness or even tragedy, but the bottom is, and will always be, that WE HAVE A CHOICE!
Are we going to make that choice?
